This course is designed for professionals working with rigid PVC extrusion lines producing sheets and profiles for construction, furniture, or industrial applications. You’ll learn how to optimize raw material selection, manage additives, and avoid common processing issues. Both solid and foamed variants of profiles and sheets are discussed as part of the production process.
Who is this course for?
🟢 For engineers, technologists, and production managers working with PVC profiles and sheets.
🟢 For plant owners who want to improve process stability, product quality, and reduce waste.
🟢 For technicians and operators dealing with raw material issues, blending, and common extrusion defects.
🟢 For those looking to deepen their knowledge of additives, quality testing, and troubleshooting.
Course Objective
The goal of this course is to provide a practical and structured understanding of PVC profile and sheet extrusion. Participants will explore raw materials, additives, process optimization, quality control, and common production issues. This course includes real-case troubleshooting and testing methods used on production floors.
Why should you join?
🟢 Understand the differences between rigid and plasticized PVC and their impact on processing.
🟢 Learn how to identify and eliminate common PVC extrusion problems.
🟢 Gain control over the effects of stabilizers, waxes, foaming agents, and plasticizers.
🟢 Improve repeatability and reduce complaints by understanding root causes.
🟢 Apply industrial testing methods to ensure reliable product performance.
What will you learn?
🟢 Raw materials and recycling in PVC extrusion
• Differences between virgin, in-house regrind, and external recycled PVC
• How to identify poor-quality materials and avoid costly defects
• Blending strategies and how much virgin material to add
🟢 The role of additives and how to use them correctly:
• Thermal stabilizers, plasticizers, lubricants, antistatics, and foaming agents
• Mixing techniques and how to avoid incompatibility
• Real case studies: color shift, brittleness, surface issues
🟢 Process control and quality assurance:
• Temperature, pressure, and speed – how to adjust for stable output
• “Peel test,” thermal stability tests, and surface inspection
• Detecting problems early – in-line control and lab testing
🟢 Common extrusion issues and solutions:
• Laminates delaminating, plates too soft or too hard, pore structure problems
• What to do when clients complain or machines stop due to material problems
• Visual guide to defects and what causes them
