Plastic Extrusion Services

Businesses can select from a wide variety of profiles, shapes, and forms with varying thicknesses, hardness, colors, and textures with Clark Rubber & Plastic’s high-quality plastic extrusion. We built our first facility for plastic operations back in 1997. Since then, we have consistently innovated new solutions that push the boundaries of modern plastic extrusion technology. We’re determined to tackle even the toughest applications.

Over the years, we have continued to expand our plastic capacity for both extrusion and injection molding by adding six new lines as well as a 40,000-square-foot facility that opened in 2015. This extra space allows us to accommodate high-volume orders and deliver quick results. Contact us today to discover how we can help you with plastic extrusion, rubber molding, die cutting, and so much more.

Cutting-Edge Plastic Extrusion Technology

Our high-tech facility houses equipment capable of executing multiple plastic extrusion techniques, including co- and tri-extruding. This allows us to combine two or three materials with different properties and of varying colors into a single cross-section. Our extruded parts are fabricated from a wide range of certified plastic materials to meet the tightest tolerance requirements and provide superior structural integrity, uniform density, and long-lasting durability.

We can produce small to large solid-cored profiles as well as tubing and sleeves from dual-durometer, military-grade, and UL-approved materials. Our team also offers a variety of in-line supplementary processes. We manage an IATF 16949:2016 First Edition-certified quality assurance program that verifies your parts will exactly meet your specifications.

Getting the Right Plastic Extrusion Results

These products are used across a wide range of industries, from military plastic parts to consumer products, and many of these high-quality parts are regularly used in solar energy and water management. We can work with you to determine the specific needs of your project or industry, verifying that we deliver the quality and pricing that your project requires to succeed. We will take the time to understand the demands of the product, the requirements and standards of your industry, and then make recommendations for the right materials, suggest design alternatives, and help you evaluate all the additional factors that may impact the results.

Understanding the Plastic Extrusion Process

Whether you are creating products for the automotive, military, solar, or other industries, our team will help simplify the plastic extrusion process. We offer a wide range of plastic types for you to choose from, depending on your project’s specifications. Once you have selected a material, our team heats and melts the product, and then pushes it through the specially shaped die. Once the material has cooled, we remove it from the die and trim or smooth the edges as necessary. We can also cut or roll the product, depending on what we are making. Our modern tools and equipment allow us to deliver consistent, reliable results for every order.

Plastic Extrusion Quality Control Measures

Quality control starts before an extruded part even leaves the production line. Our team monitors key elements throughout the manufacturing process; this makes sure that each run stays within the set specifications. Dimensions like profile width, thickness, and overall geometry are checked against the approved design. Material and process conditions are also evaluated to identify potential inconsistencies before they affect the larger production run.

For some applications, the focus remains on features that affect sealing, assembly, or performance. Team members also evaluate finished profiles for issues like surface imperfections or uneven results. For projects involving multiple materials and colors, inspectors verify color consistency and material placement. Product inspections are integral to the company’s approach; this helps verify that every plastic extrusion project delivers the consistency and performance that customers need.
