Co-Extrusion: Combining Two Materials for Better Performance

Sometimes a single material isn’t enough. Products that require added strength, insulation, or improved aesthetics need more than standard extrusion can offer. That’s where co-extrusion comes in. At Lincoln Plastics, we specialize in combining two different plastics into a single custom profile — giving OEMs more flexibility in design and performance.

What Is Co-Extrusion?

Co-extrusion is the process of extruding two plastics together into one unified profile. Each material can contribute specific benefits, such as: - Strength and durability from a rigid core - Aesthetic or protective outer layers in a different color or finish - Cost savings by using a less expensive material on the inside and a premium material on the outside - Custom striping or markings for visual identification and branding

Why It Matters for OEMs

For OEM engineers and purchasing managers, co-extrusion solves real challenges: - Design freedom to create profiles with multiple properties in one part - Improved performance with layered functionality - Reduced costs by using specialty materials only where visible or required - Consistency and quality with fewer weak points than multi-piece assemblies

Our Co-Extrusion Advantage

Lincoln Plastics is built for custom problem-solving. We work directly with OEMs to: - Develop co-extruded profiles tailored to their exact applications -Deliver right-sized runs that balance efficiency with flexibility - Provide precise control over thickness, striping, and finishes
