PROFILE EXTRUSION
Sherwood Industries is a proud manufacturer of extruded thermoplastics and rubbers. Profile extrusion is the specialized process that allows shapes and configurations to be extruded to match your products’ exact requirements for your unique application.
Profile extrusion is the process of extruding a thermoplastic through a custom die. We make custom dies to extrude a shape that fits your requirements and will assure a consistent and reliable part over years of extrusion. After extrusion, the profile part then proceeds through a water bath for cooling and setting of the shape. Profile parts can be cut to length or wound into a roll, depending on the customer’s specification.
We are able to extrude a variety of materials including TPE’s, TPO’s, SEBS and more. Our most popular profile product is made from Santoprene™ Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV) by Celanese. This is a high-performance elastomer that provides consistent performance across automotive, industrial and consumer applications.
