Extrusion sheet is a method employed to produce consistent flat material sheets of uniform thickness and width using various resins. The goal of sheet extrusion is to utilize heat and pressure to transform thermoplastic polymers, typically in pellet form, roll, or sheet material. This widely used process is applied to aluminum or plastic materials to create sheets.

The primary types of extrusion sheet include polypropylene, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polycarbonate, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polystyrene, acrylate, polyethylene, and others. Polypropylene extrusion sheets are crafted from a thermoplastic polymer renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance and high tensile strength. These sheets find common applications in packaging, automotive components, appliances, and various industrial uses. The structure of extrusion sheets encompasses corrugated, solid and textured, hollow, multiwall, and others. These sheets utilize both virgin and recycled materials, and the associated processes involve coextrusion and thermoforming. Extrusion sheets are employed in diverse sectors such as packaging, medical devices, consumer electronics, automotive, construction, and more.
