Thermoforming
Thermoforming involves heating a sheet of thermosetting plastic material until it softens, then molding it into a desired shape.

Rotational Molding
Rotational molding is an economical way to produce hollow parts of all sizes.
Reactive Polymer Processing
For thermoset polymer compounds, cross-linking between the growing polymer chains occurs during the polymerization reaction, so the production and processing steps need to be combined when working with these compounds.
Powder Coating
In powder coating, a dry polymer powder is applied to an object. Powder coating is less harmful to the environment than traditional wet spray painting because it produces lower VOC emissions.
Injection Molding
Injection molding is the most common molding process after extruders. It is widely used to process thermoplastics and thermosets.
Fiber Spinning
Fiber spinning is used to make synthetic fibers for use in many industries.
Extruders
Extruders are used to produce plastic products such as flexible pipes and plastic sheets. They can also be used to mix materials.
Calendering
Calendering is used to produce a variety of sheet-like polymer products. In particular, it is the leading method for processing vinyl.
Blown Film
Film blowing is used to manufacture thin sheets of plastics from a melted polymer.
Blow Molding
Blow molding is used to produce sturdy plastic containers and parts of all sizes.
