ELI5 mode

Polyethylene extrusion refers to the process of heating polyethylene to a molten state and forcing it through a die to produce continuous lengths of plastic products such as pipes, films, and rods. This thermoplastic forming technique allows for high-volume production with consistent cross-sections and is fundamental to the plastics industry. Modern applications include everything from medical tubing to agricultural films, highlighting its versatility and efficiency in shaping one of the world's most widely used polymers.
