Basically extrusion can be defined as forcing a material through a die orifice. This die orifice produces the final shape of the finished product. Plastic resin pellets or granules are heated and melted, homogenized and continuously formed into pipe. Pipe is not the only product produced by the extrusion process.

Pipes, plastic tube, sheet, wire and profile shapes are all also manufactured by this process. In fact, the plastic resin granules or pellets used for injection molding are produced by extrusion. A long strand or filament of extruded plastic is chopped or cut into pellet-sized pieces to produce plastic injection molding materials.

Extrusion produces an inherently strong finished product. More so than a molding process. This is one of the reasons that plastic pipe is rated at higher pressures than injection molded plastic fittings.
