The direct extrusion allows the production of all the “special” filled or reinforced sheets having high technological value with higher performances at considerably reduced production costs.
Higher performances obtained thanks to a single melting cycle, granting the polymer to maintain its original characteristics and a really contained degradation level.
Low production costs due to:
– Elimination of compound production costs (energy, manpower, etc.)
– Processing mark up (out-sourcing)
– Much higher energy efficiency of the corotating extruder
– Possibility to use simpler formulation (less additives)
– Improved flexibility with the possibility of a fast formulation change
