Right-Sized Production Runs: Flexibility Without the Waste

Co-Extrusion: Combining Two Materials for BetterPerformance

Sometimes a single material isn’t enough. Products thatrequire added strength, insulation, or improved aesthetics need more thanstandard extrusion can offer. That’s where co-extrusion comes in. AtLincoln Plastics, we specialize in combining two different plastics into a single custom profile — giving OEMs more flexibility in design andperformance.

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 anddurability from a rigid core - Aesthetic or protective outer layersin a different color or finish - Cost savings by using a less expensivematerial on the inside and a premium material on the outside - Customstriping or markings for visual identification and branding

Why It Matters for OEMs

For OEM engineers and purchasing managers, co-extrusion solves real challenges: - Designfreedom to create profiles with multiple properties in one part - Improvedperformance with layered functionality - Reduced costs by usingspecialty materials only where visible or required - Consistency and qualitywith fewer weak points than multi-piece assemblies

Our Co-Extrusion Advantage

LincolnPlastics 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

Let’s Build Something Better

If your application demands more than what a singlematerial can deliver, co-extrusion could be the solution. With LincolnPlastics, you get a partner who combines engineering know-how with theflexibility to tailor solutions.
