Pipe Extrusion Additives - The Compound Company

Pipe Extrusion

Pipe extrusion is a manufacturing process used to create pipes by shaping melted material. In this process raw material pellets are fed into an extruder. Inside the barrel, the screw rotates to mix and heat the material until it melts. Once fully melted, the material is pushed through a die that forms it into the desired pipe profile. After exiting the die, the pipe is cooled and solidified. To optimize this process to specific applications, various additives can be incorporated. Single layer pipes as well as multi-layer pipes can be produced.
