Sheet Extrusion Additives - The Compound Company

Sheet Extrusion

Sheet extrusion is an extrusion process used to produce flat plastic sheets. In this process, thermoplastic raw materials are melted and forced through a flat, wide die to form a continuous sheet with a uniform thickness. The extruded sheet is then passed through a series of cooling rollers, which help solidify the material and control its final dimensions. Once cooled, the finished sheet can be trimmed and wound into rolls or cut into individual pieces for further processing or use. To optimize this process to specific applications, various compounds can be incorporated.
