Excalibur Extrusion Specializes in:

Custom Plastic Extrusion - The process of making a plastic extrusion to unique customer specifications. Once the specifications are established the process starts with blending the proper plastic materials, heating that blend of plastic and extruding it through a die and cooled after former to achieve the desired size. It is then cut to length and packaged to customer specifications.

Materials:

PVC or Polyvinyl Chloride - A tough commodity plastic, PVC can be made weather stable is easy to form, and machine. It can withstand significant pressure and can be joined by solvent cement therefore it is the material of choice for water pipe. It is usually white in color; however it can be made in any color including clear.
Rigid PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride made without plasticizer and therefore not flexible. As such it supports itself across spans of three feet or more and withstands hundreds of pounds of pressure. It will not naturally lie in a coil.
ABS - A lightweight high impact plastic. It is usually black in color, however it can be made in any color. It is more heat stable than PVC. Applications include pipe, machine guards, and equipment cases.
HDPE- or High Density Polyethylene - An economical, light, lower strength soft material. It is smooth and yields to the touch. Typical applications include cores, pump housings, and drip tubing. High density polyethylene (HDPE) has been used for municipal and industrial water applications for almost 50 years. HDPE's heat-fused joints create a leak free, self restraint, monolithic pipe structure that allows the pipe to be pulled from one area to another with minimum disruption to traffic or the environment; the fused joint will also eliminate infiltration into the pipe and exfiltration into the environment. HDPE has other benefits which include chemical, abrasion, fatigue, seismic and corrosion resistance.

Plastic Extrusion Applications:

Plastic Pipe - Systems utilizing plastic pipe are a sustainable and environmentally responsible choice that will serve generations to come. They are energy efficient during manufacturing and provide peak protection from contamination during service. Strong, durable, light-weight and flexible, these piping systems require significantly less energy to fabricate, transport and install than metal or concrete alternatives. With superior resistance to corrosion and abrasion, plastic piping systems also supply long service life, excellent joint performance and offer leak free protection-all adding up to exceptional value.
PVC Pipe - Typically water pipe of a specific Schedule or Class. PVC pipe is used for irrigation and venting.
Rigid Tubing - Any tubing that will not naturally lie in a coil.
Enclosed Tubing - The wall encloses an area much like a fence would enclose a yard. The yard is not enclosed if there is an opening in the fence or the gate is left open.
Plastic Tube - Plastic tubing is a very broad term encompassing the wide spectrum of rigid to flexible, heavy to thin wall, transparent to opaque, cut-to-length or spooled varieties of poly tube. Plastic tubes are used to convey fluids or gases or as structural components. Plastic tubing manufacturers utilize numerous plastic compounds in their product lines, colored or clear plastic tubing, all kinds of poly tubing, PVC tubing (also known as vinyl tubing), and square plastic tubing. Suppliers of plastic tubing serve needs ranging from medical tubing to plastic pipe and conduit.
Vacuum Tube - Rigid PVC pipe or tubing used for central vacuum systems where the vacuum unit is mounted for example in the garage and the Vacuum Tubing runs through the attic (or basement) and walls to outlets strategically located through the area to be vacuumed.
Plastic Pipe Manufacturing - The process of making plastic pipe. The process starts with blending the proper plastic materials, heating that blend of plastic and extruding it through a die and cooled after former to achieve the desired size. It is then cut to length and packaged to customer specifications.
