Melt extrusion

Melt extrusion is a manufacturing process where raw materials, usually plastics or other polymers, are heated until they become a viscous, flowable melt. This melt is then pushed through a shaped opening called a die, which gives it a specific form, like a pipe, film, or filament. Once shaped, the material cools and solidifies, forming a continuous product. Melt extrusion is widely used to create everything from plastic tubing and packaging films to medical devices and textiles, offering precise control over dimensions and material properties.
