We all use plastic extrusions in our day to day life without realising it. Today, with clever new machinery and techniques, more and more sections of production are switching to plastic due to its durable and lightweight qualities.
One industry in particular taking advantage of plastic extrusions is leisure homes.
Used in a wide range of industries, the plastic extrusion process dates back to the early 19th century and continues to be improved upon and perfected year after year by leading companies and innovators such as our team at Rocal Extrusions. The main advantage of plastic extrusions is that they can be produced in a continuous shape or profile.
You may not know this, but you come across products created from plastic extrusions on a regular basis.
