In the context of the broader plastics industry, the extruded plastics market encompasses the production and distribution of plastics that have been shaped into continuous profiles by being pushed through a die as part of the extrusion process. Extrusion is a high-volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic material, commonly in the form of pellets or granules, is melted and formed into a continuous profile. This profile can then be cut to length to create products of various shapes and sizes. Extruded plastics are used in a wide array of applications due to their versatility, durability, and relatively low cost. These applications include piping, window frames, weather stripping, sheets, and wire insulation, among others. The market for extruded plastics is driven by demand from industries such as construction, automotive, packaging, and consumer goods. Innovations in extrusion technology, along with the development of new and improved plastic materials, continue to expand the potential applications for extruded plastic products. Some notable companies involved in the extrusion of plastics include Berry Global Group, Inc., JM Eagle, Sealed Air Corporation, and Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics. These companies, among others in the market, specialize in the production and supply of extruded plastic products, catering to various end-use industries that require tailored plastic profiles and components.
