Extrusion

Fix Supply's advanced extrusion capabilities allow us to custom design and extrude products across a wide spectrum of plastic, rubber, and sponge/foam materials.

Extrusion Capabilities

Plastic Extrusions

Plastic resin is heated into a malleable molten state and forced through a die. The extruded plastic then cools and solidifies in the shape of the die profile.

Rubber Extrusions

Rubber compound is heated into a malleable molten state and forced through a die. The extruded rubber then cools and solidifies in the shape of the die profile.

Sponge/Foam Extrusions 

Plastic resin or rubber compound is heated into a malleable molten state, combined with a blowing agent, and forced through a die. The blowing agent introduces air pockets into the component so that as the extruded rubber cools and solidifies in the shape of the die profile, it becomes softer and more compressible.

Metal Insert Extrusions 

Metal insert is coextruded with plastic, rubber, or sponge/foam material.


Post-Processing Fabrication Capabilities

Cut-to-Size & Coiling/Spooling 

Extrusions can be cut to your length requirements and/or applied to spools to make handling and application easier.

Applying Adhesives/PSA

PSA backing on an extrusion allows for temporary or permanent bonding to a variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, wood, paper, and more.

Splicing & Vulcanizing

Ends of the extrusion are chemically bonded together to form continuous gaskets, seals and more.
