Profile Extrusion - 2

Profile ExtrusionTypical Raw Materials For Plastic Profiles:

 - HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)

 - LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene)

 - LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene)

 - PETG

 - Flexible PVC

 - Butyrate

 - Polypropylene

 - Polystyrene

 - ABS

Advantages And Disadvantages of Profile Extrusion

The only main disadvantage of the profile extrusion is the limitations in the design possibilities, which is due to the linear nature of the process. It has various advantages as well that are as follows:

 - Equipment widely available in all geographical areas

 - Relatively low tooling costs

 - Inexpensive process

 - Product combinations possible

 - Design freedom

Typical Applications & Design Possibilities

There are number of applications where the process of profile extrusion is extremely useful. Also, there are many design possibilities with the use of this process. Typical applications and design possibilities of the profile extrusion process are as follows:

 - Windows profile

 - Sealing sections

 - Modular drawer profiles

 - Decorative trim
