Extrusion is a process widely used in the polymer processing industry. It involves pushing material through a die with a specific cross-sectional shape, resulting in products like profiles, thin ...

Polymer Packaging Inc. is jumping back into the extrusion business after more than a decade of absence. The Massillon, Ohio-based flexible and protective packaging maker is spending more than $10 ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a vacuum-assisted extrusion method that reduces internal porosity—by up to 75%—in large-scale 3D-printed polymer parts. The paper is ...

Changes such as the transition from crystalline to amorphous phases or shifts in vibrational modes can be used to customize the end-polymer's mechanical, thermal, and optical properties to specific ...

Reactive processing in polymer extrusion harnesses the extruder as a continuous reactor, enabling in situ chemical modification of polymers while they are conveyed and melted. By integrating ...

Insight Polymers & Compounding has expanded capabilities to accelerate collaborative development programs with the installation of a new 18-mm extrusion line. It will showcase the additional ...

Extrusion is a continuous processing technique in which polymeric materials are conveyed, melted and homogenised as they are forced through a die to form strands, sheets or complex profiles. Key to ...

While countless tubes are extruded or injection molded each year, these manufacturing techniques are neither the most optimal nor the most cost-effective methods available to medical device ...

Orazen Extruded Polymers in Aurora, which provides polymer solutions for the commercial glazing and construction market, has been honored with the esteemed RedHawk 50 Award from Miami University. This ...
