We manufacture plastic extrusions in standard profiles, commodity plastics, engineering polymers, and coextruded and hollow profiles.

From standard shapes to multi-hollow shapes, you can rely on our rich experience to assure the parts will be delivered on time and at the right price. Whatever your plastic extrusion application, Premium can help.

How Does Plastic Extrusion Work?

The first step is to melt and feed plastic material to the extruder. This plastic material can be, granule, pellet, powder or flake. The plastic is then slowly dissolved by the mechanical energy which is created. After melting, it is forced into a mold that forms a shape and hardens during cooling. Since plastics are great thermal insulators, cooling plastic can't be done very quickly.

Comparing to steel, steel conducts its heat away 2000 times quicker than plastic. In short, plastic extrusion is the process which transformed plastic into the shapes that can either be used the way it is produced or converted into usable products.

Advantages of Plastic Extrusion

Fast and efficient

The extrusion process is fast and efficient at producing continuous shapes in varying lengths. Products can be produced in large volumes with minimal wastage.

Various additives

Various additives can improve products properties, durability, fire resistance and reduce static or friction.

Cheap cost of Plastic extrusion mold

The cost of Plastic extrusion mold is normally considerably cheaper than mold for other plastic manufacturing methods.

Complex shapes

Complex shapes can be produced with different textures, colors and thickness, textures etc.

Co extrusion

Co extrusion is also workable where two or more machines are used to feed a single mold head, this way is often useful where multiple layers of different materials are required for use in the product. It can also be used to add a top layer for improving the products appearance to keep costs down with a cheaper material at the core of the product.
