Plastic shapes - Import export

In the extrusion process the TPE pellets are poured into a hopper are heated in the barrel and turned into a melt by this heat and shear. A screw carries the melted plastic through a shaped die to produce continuous lengths of shapes with the same profile, which are then cooled by air or water. Our TPE compounds are easily extruded into single and complex profiles. They can also be co-extruded with other materials to yield a part with both rigid and soft components. They exhibit improved profile flexibility. The SEBS compounds, with their saturated intermediate blocks, are very stable against thermal degradation. On the other hand, the SBS compounds degrade if overheated or if a screw with excessively high compression ratio is used. The information below is intended as a general overview, settings may vary depending on the specific grade selected.

There are many different processes for forming screw threads. The usual method is to machine the thread but threads can also be formed with a thread moulder. The reason is that if the thread is shaped by plastic deformation rather than by cutting, no material is lost. However, thread moulding can only be used on materials with good cold formability.
