Uses of Extruded Profiles in Everyday Life

Extruded products are basically long rods, pipes or railing like structures in a variety of shapes produced by putting the metal through the extrusion process. These extruded profiles are then used for a variety of manufacturing applications across various industries. Though these extruded profiles appear almost alien to the common man, its application in everyday life are quite a many. Below described are a few places where we encounter the extruded profiles made of various materials in our everyday lives.

Door Bolts
Yes, the door bolts on the doors are made of extruded profiles, extruded out of brass. Brass extruded profiles find a number of similar, small but useful uses in the building industry as well as the other manufacturing requirements owing to their advantageous characteristics like resistance to corrosion, efficient mechanical application and strength.

Cabinet Hinges
Cabinet hinges are again made up extruded profiles. Brass and steel are the most commonly used extruded profiles for the purpose. The main advantage that makes these profiles suitable as cabinet hinges are flexibility, malleability and economy. Due to high ductility a number of shapes and designs can be obtained with steel as well as brass profiles.

Car Mud Flaps
The plastic mud flaps that save your car from minor dents and dirt are a perfect example of the plastic extruded profiles being used in the automobile industry. The main features of extruded plastic profiles are the ability to take and stand wear and tear on a daily basis, heat resistance, strength and and lightness.

Outdoor Signage & Display Equipments
Outdoor signages and display equipments are the future of the outdoor advertising industry. These equipments also require extruded sheets of various metals for a neat lining on the edges. They are glossy and therefore make good to see borders to the signage screens.

Refrigerator Linings
