Results for tag: "Extrusion Sheet"

The plastic sheet extrusion market encompasses the production and distribution of flat plastic sheets, which are created by melting down plastic granules and pushing the molten plastic through a flat die using a screw extruder. These sheets are then shaped into the desired thickness and cut to size. The market serves a diverse span of industries, including packaging, construction, automotive, and electronics, due to the varied properties of plastic sheets like durability, lightweight nature, and resistance to corrosion. Different polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), among others, are used to tailor the properties of the extruded sheets to specific applications. Innovations in this sector often focus on developing sustainable materials and improving the energy efficiency of the extrusion process. Notable companies operating within the extrusion sheet market include SABIC, with a strong presence in the production of engineered thermoplastics and flat sheet products; Sealed Air, known for packaging solutions and advanced films; PolyOne Corporation, now known as Avient Corporation, which offers specialized polymer materials and services; and 3A Composites, recognized for their work in sectors ranging from transportation to display and graphic arts. Other key players include Palram Industries Ltd., specializing in thermoplastic sheeting, and Spartech, a provider of custom plastic sheet and roll stock products. Show Less Read more
