Flat die:The plastic is extruded through a flat die and formed onto casting rolls for further processing and shipment.

Thermoplastic extrusion typically uses one of three standard techniques: The material is then cut, shaped, or otherwise processed for use in the next step of fabrication. The melted, compressed plastic retains the shape of the die as it undergoes this process, creating a uniform shape. Request a custom quote What Is the Extrusion Process?Įxtrusion is a fabrication process that uses heat and pressure to force thermoplastic resins and additives through a specialized pre-shaped die. Our custom capabilities include extrusion and slitting of specialized materials into sheets, strips, rolls, and coils, with thicknesses ranging from 0.005 in. State-of-the art equipment allows us to produce superior products for both high- and low-volume production runs. Our exhaustive portfolio makes us the go-to supplier of custom-manufactured parts and components. Our extensive selection of materials includes high density and low density polyethylene, polypropylene co-polymer or homo-polymer, acetal co-polymer, delrin homo-polymer or homo-polymer, co-polypropylene or homo-polypropylene, and nylon 6, nylon 6/6, or nylon MDS into sheets, strips, rolls, and coils.Īs an industry leader in custom non-metal fabrication services, NPF specializes in extrusion and slitting capabilities for our customers in a broad range of industries.
