  2. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

    Plastics extrusion is a high-volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Extrusion produces items such as pipe/tubing, weatherstripping , fencing, deck railings , window frames , plastic films and sheeting, thermoplastic coatings, and wire insulation.

  3. Extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrusion

    Extrusion is common in the application of adding colorant to molten plastic thus creating specific custom color. Extrusion is also a process used in fused filament deposition 3D printers , whereby the extruder is often composed of a geared motor pushing plastic filament through a nozzle.

  4. Blow molding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blow_molding

    After the plastic has cooled, the mold is opened and the part is ejected. [2] "Straight extrusion blow molding is a way of propelling material forward similar to injection molding whereby an Archimedean screw turns, feeding plastic material down a heated tube. Once the plastic is melted the screw stops rotating and linearly moves to push the ...

  5. Plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_fabrication

    The word plastic derives from the Greek πλαστικός (plastikos), meaning "capable of being shaped or molded;" in turn, it is from πλαστός (plastos) meaning "molded." [ 8 ] As a noun , the word most commonly refers to the solid products of petrochemical-derived manufacturing.

  6. Extrusion moulding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrusion_moulding

    Extrusion is a manufacturing process used to make pipes, hoses, drinking straws, curtain tracks, rods, and fibre. [1] The granules melt into a liquid which is forced through a die, forming a long 'tube like' shape. The shape of the die determines the shape of the tube. The extrusion is then cooled and forms a solid shape.

  7. Plastic compounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_compounding

    Plastic compounding scheme. Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. [1] These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers.

  8. Poly(p-phenylene oxide) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(p-phenylene_oxide)

    This plastic is processed by injection molding or extrusion; depending on the type, the processing temperature is 260–300 °C. The surface can be printed, hot-stamped, painted or metallized. Welds are possible by means of heating element, friction or ultrasonic welding. It can be glued with halogenated solvents or various adhesives.

  9. Ethylene vinyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_vinyl_alcohol

    EVOH copolymer is defined by the mole % ethylene content: lower ethylene content grades have higher barrier properties; higher ethylene content grades have lower temperatures for extrusion. The plastic resin is commonly used as an oxygen barrier in food packaging. It is better than other plastics at keeping air out and flavors in, is highly ...
