Extrusion
USA Industrials is your solutions provider for extruded parts
Overview
USA Industrials’ advanced extrusion capabilities allow us to custom design and extrude products across a wide spectrum of plastic, rubber, and sponge/foam materials.
Extrusion Capabilities
Plastic Extrusions: Plastic resin is heated into a malleable molten state and forced through a die. The extruded plastic then cools and solidifies in the shape of the die profile.
Rubber Extrusions: Rubber compound is heated into a malleable molten state and forced through a die. The extruded rubber then cools and solidifies in the shape of the die profile.
Sponge/Foam Extrusions: Plastic resin or rubber compound is heated into a malleable molten state, combined with a blowing agent, and forced through a die. The blowing agent introduces air pockets into the component so that as the extruded rubber cools and solidifies in the shape of the die profile, it becomes softer and more compressible.
Metal Insert Extrusions: Metal insert is coextruded with plastic, rubber, or sponge/foam material.
Post-Processing Fabrication
Cut-to-Size & Coiling/Spooling: Extrusions can be cut to your length requirements and/or applied to spools to make handling and application easier.
Applying Adhesives/PSA: PSA backing on an extrusion allows for temporary or permanent bonding to various surfaces, including metal, plastic, wood, paper, and more.
Splicing & Vulcanizing: Ends of the extrusion are chemically bonded together to form continuous gaskets, seals and more.
