Plastic Crosshead Extrusion Services
Crosshead extruding inserts a solid material into the part during the extrusion process to provide additional reinforcement or to act as a conductor for power and data to the extruded part.
Preferred Plastics delivers high quality plastics crosshead extrusion services for parts that require reinforcement or encapsulation of a metal part. Using the latest technologies and processes, we will ensure that your part is manufactured to your exact specifications and will provide reliable, durable performance.
With a reputation for excellence in crosshead extrusion, we are known globally for our product quality, customer service, and commitment to innovation and lean manufacturing. Whether your project demands tight tolerances, complex shapes, or large production runs, we consistently meet the highest standards in the industry.
Our plastic crosshead extrusion solutions can insert reinforcing materials—such as nylon strapping or copper wire—or extrude plastic around metal components to create fully integrated parts. We support a wide range of applications with capabilities including:
- Insertion of copper, aluminum, and steel embedment’s. Also some fabrics and textiles.
- Extrusion around metal parts.
- Wide range of thermoplastic materials, including PVC, ABS, HIPS, HDPE, TPU, and TPE. We also offer custom compounding.
- Dual hardness profiles using multiple resins.
- Simple and complex shapes, manufactured to the tightest tolerances.
