Plastic welders consist of torches, ultrasonic welding equipment, heat guns, hot rod welders, RF or dielectric welders, and hot plate welders used to join thermoplastic materials

Extrusion includes the manufacture of lengths of cross-sectional shapes and profiles.  Extruded products are available in a wide variety of materials and material combinations

Plastic extrusion services suppliers specialize in extruding plastics and polymer compounds into custom and standard profiles and shapes

Plastics and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms

Aluminum extrusion services providers specialize in extruding aluminum and aluminum alloys into custom and standard profiles and shapes

Welding machines and joining machines include all manner of devices used for welding, brazing and soldering.

Resins and compounds are pellets, liquid resins, bulk molding compounds, or other unfinished materials that are ready for shape fabrication or bond formation.

Specialty polymers and resins are proprietary polymers, resins, monomers and intermediates. This category includes plastics and elastomers that are based on proprietary curing technologies or chemistries, or that are designed for specialized applications

Extrusion machines force or pull unformed material into alignment guides and shaped dies to produce lengths of stock forms and cross-sectional shapes

Thermoplastics and thermoplastic materials soften when heated and harden when cooled. They can withstand many heating and cooling cycles and are often suitable for recycling.

Polymer concrete and mortar are binders, compounds, and aggregate mixtures that use epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester or other polymer resin bonds. They cure or set through chemical reactions, thermoset bonds, and multiple component binder systems

Polymer and plastic composites are strengthened with fibers, fillers, particulates, powders and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Examples of polymer and plastic composites include fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs), sheet molding compounds (SMCs), bulk molding compounds (BMCs), pre-preg materials, and fabricated composite parts

Elastomers and rubber materials are characterized by their high degree of flexibility and elasticity (high reversible elongation or resilience).

Welding and fabrication services weld and fabricate a variety of materials. They may also perform services such as machining, CAD support, and field welding

Downstream extrusion equipment is used to finish and inspect parts once they have been extruded. Post-extrusion processing operations include cooling, cutting, pulling, texturing, embossing and profile inspection
