In industries such as construction and building products Profile Extrusion plays a critical role in manufacturing structural components with precision and consistency. However as the world moves towards a more sustainable future, traditional plastics like PVC and other fossil-based polymers are under increasing scrutiny for their environmental impact.
That’s where Floreon comes in offering a high-performance, renewable alternative that delivers all the benefits of conventional extrusion materials, with a dramatically lower carbon footprint.
Why choose Floreon for Profile Extrusion?
Floreon bioplastics have been engineered to meet the rigorous demands of profile extrusion processes. Unlike some bioplastics that are limited to niche applications, Floreon has been proven to perform using standard industrial equipment meaning manufacturers can adopt sustainable practices without retooling or compromising on productivity.
In our profile extrusion trials, Floreon demonstrated:
• Consistent melt strength and smooth extrusion
• Excellent surface finish
• Good impact resistance and structural stiffness
These properties are critical for profile extrusion, where uniformity and mechanical integrity are essential—especially in applications such as profiles, trims, cable conduits, and construction frameworks.
Made for Industry. Designed for Sustainability.
One of the major advantages of Floreon in extrusion is that it behaves similarly to traditional polymers like HIPS,ABS, or rigid PVC—while being derived from renewable resources.
This means:
A significantly lower carbon footprint—up to 7x less than oil-based plastics
Recyclable, contributing to circular economy goals
Safer and non-toxic, with no legacy concerns associated with heavy metals or halogens often found in traditional extrusion plastics
These features make Floreon an ideal solution for manufacturers aiming to meet environmental regulations, appeal to eco-conscious customers, and build greener supply chains—all without compromising on performance or scalability.
Real-World Results
Our case study highlights how we successfully ran Floreon through existing profile extrusion lines with minimal adjustments. The material showed excellent processing stability, producing profiles that met application requirements for rigidity, surface finish, and durability.
Whether you're producing structural profiles for retail, construction, or industrial environments, Floreon offers a viable, environmentally responsible alternative to traditional plastics.
