The word ‘extrusion’ implies a pushing out action. In terms of plastic extrusion this is the process of heating raw materials and pushing the molten plastic compound through a tool raw plastic to the desired shape. Water is then used in a cooling process to ensure the plastic extrusion retains the correct shape. We have many different tools with many different shapes that can be used to manufacture a large range of extruded plastic profiles. There are many different types of plastic profile including plastic trim which is often used for edging purposes. In cases where tooling is required to be made, this is called bespoke or custom plastic extrusion.
