THERMOPLASTIC EXTRUSION AND ITS APPLICATIONS
THERMOPLASTIC EXTRUSION AND ITS APPLICATIONS EXTRUSION plays a prominent part in the plastics industry. Whether it's one hundred yards of pipe-tubing or a thousand Crazy Straws, plastic extrusion is in frequent use in today's plastics industry. During extrusion, plastics transform from solid to liquid and back again without sacrificing their distinctive properties. Plastic Extrusion Applications: AUTOMOTIVE: The use of thermoplastics in automotive manufacturing is not a new concept. It has been used for non-load bearing parts and interiors such as battery frames and bumpers in mass-produced cars, and for more complex applications such as the monocoque for high-end sports cars. CONVEYORS: The conveyor belts are used in all types of industry and have rightfully become the most important part in the belt conveyor market. Companies that rely on conveyor systems know that the key to success is keeping those systems working quickly, efficiently and smoothly.
