SKINNING TECHNOLOGY

PLASTIC EXTRUSIONS SKINNING TECHNOLOGY – Need a premium finish or premium performance but not the premium price! PAL Extrusions now offer a type of co-extrusion that allows the skinning of a lower grade polymer with more advanced grade polymer. Applications for this technology include the skinning of recycled plastics with virgin grade polymers, creating enhanced aesthetic appearances and extra performance. The simplest benefit could be to skin a white compound with a more expensive colour reducing the overall cost. PAL Extrusions use this technology where products meet demanding environments such as components manufactured for its Fensys range, where applications are outdoors and UV resistance is an important feature. The wide reaching benefits of this extrusion technology will no doubt find its place in many markets and plastics applications over the next few years.
