Extrusion Molding for Rigid and Flexible Plastics

Extrusion molding service compatible with combinations of rigid/flexible materials and multi-layer/two-color molding. Akebono Kasei Vietnam achieves short lead times and high precision through in-house mold manufacturing.
Extrusion molding is a processing technology where thermoplastic resin is heated and melted, then continuously fed into a mold by a screw to form products with a predetermined cross-sectional shape. This molding method is optimal for mass production of long products like pipes, tubes, sheets, and profiles.
Akebono Kasei Vietnam achieves high-precision and stable molding quality by meticulously setting optimal molding conditions (temperature, screw design, compression ratio, etc.) according to the material. Furthermore, we have built integrated production lines including post-processes like cooling, haul-off, and cutting, enabling us to handle complex cross-sectional shapes, multi-layer structures, and different colors.
Features
- Composite molding of rigid/flexible materials: Molding by mixing rigid and flexible materials. Handles products combining strength and flexibility.
- Compatible with two-color molding: Achieves both design and functionality by simultaneously molding different materials or different colors.
- Compatible with multi-layer extrusion (2-layer, 3-layer): Enables development of multi-functional products for heat insulation, light shielding, strength enhancement, etc.
- Mold manufacturing: Molds specialized for extrusion molding require unique manufacturer design. Leveraging years of know-how, Akebono Kasei handles mold design and manufacturing in-house integrally, achieving short lead times and high reproducibility.
- Compatible with complex profile extrusion: Stable molding of precise profile cross-sections through unique mold design.
