Q: What is plastic extrusion?
A: Plastic extrusion is a manufacturing process where raw plastic materials are melted and formed into a continuous shape using a custom die. As a leading plastic extrusion manufacturer, Spiratex specializes in custom plastic extrusion, providing tailored solutions for various industries.
Q: What types of plastic materials do you work with?
A: Spiratex works with a variety of high-performance plastics, including UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), and other engineered plastics. These materials are ideal for industries requiring durability, impact resistance, and superior performance.
Q: What are the benefits of custom plastic extrusion?
A: Custom extrusion allows for precise control over shape, size, and material properties. This means better performance, cost efficiency, and application-specific solutions tailored to your industry needs.
UHMW & HDPE Tubing
Q: What are the advantages of UHMW tubing?
A: UHMW tubing is known for its excellent wear resistance, low friction, and high impact strength. It is commonly used in industrial applications, material handling, and conveyor systems. Spiratex manufactures custom UHMW extrusions to meet the needs of various industries.
Q: What is HDPE tubing used for?
A: HDPE tubes are lightweight, chemical-resistant, and highly durable, making them ideal for applications in fluid handling, protective coverings, and industrial piping. As a HDPE tubes manufacturer, Spiratex can create custom solutions for specific applications.
Q: How do UHMW and HDPE compare?
A: Both materials offer excellent durability, but UHMW has superior abrasion resistance and impact strength, while HDPE provides better flexibility and chemical resistance. Depending on your application, Spiratex can help determine the best material for your needs.
