Custom Sheet Extrusion

What Is It?

Sheet extrusion is a continuous process of melting and conveying the molten polymer in a heated screw-and-barrel assembly. The melt is forced to flow through a screen pack, then through a sheet die from which it exits in the desired width and thickness.

Airlite Plastics sheet extruders are specifically engineered to work with polyethylene and polypropylene resins and produce a very high quality sheet. We can provide surface finishes such as smooth, sandblast and haircell.

We also offer corona (electrostatic) treatment of the sheet surface to facilitate printing or silk screening. Our sheet has superb consistency of quality and is suitable for laminating, die-cutting, vacuum forming, punching, etc.
