Plastics- how it is processed
• Injection moulding
• Blow moulding
• Extrusion process
• Rotational moulding
Injection Moulding
Molten material is
injected to a closed mold
Molten polymer is
extruded & blown to
form a bubble
Bubble is cooled
and flattened
Flattened bubble is
slit and wound
Extrusion-Fiber / Raffia
Molten polymer is
extruded in the form of
film & slit into tapes or
extruded as filaments
Tapes/Filaments are
stretched and oriented
to get required strength
Molten polymer is
extruded in the form
of a sheet
Sheet is embossed
if necessary
Powdered material is
loaded into the mould
