Laminated PVC Profiles
PVC Profiles are mainly made of
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) known as the
most valuable raw material within the
chemical industry. Products may also
contain other raw materials such as
calcite, titanium, stambran, impact,
and stabilizers.
The production of PVC profiles begins with mixing the raw materials. A certain
percentage depending on the formulation of raw materials are fed into the extruder
hopper by an automation system mixer. Raw materials are moved to the moulding
section with screws and heated up to the melting temperature with heating elements
simultaneously. The melting temperature differs according to the raw materials and
the products.
Desired shapes are obtained by moulding the melted raw materials. The products
that are melted physically and moulded in fully enclosed system come into the
cooling pond. Completely cooled products are cut into the desired length by saw
and packaged for dispatch as an alternative to heavier, more expensive substrates.
