Extrusion of plastic sheets and thermoforming - inline (extrusion of plastic sheets and thermoforming - inline)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is delivering the service of 'extrusion of plastic sheets and thermoforming inline'. Extrusion describes the continuous manufacture of a semifinished plastic product (film sheet pipe profile). An extrusion line consists of the following: 1. Extruder 2. Mold or die 3. Calibration and cooling 4. Takeoff 5. Finishing. Extrusion is combined with thermoforming. Thermoforming is the a purely stretching technique of manufacture of three-dimensional mouldings from flat plastic preforms such as films or sheets under the influence of heat and pressure or vacuum. The range of products that can be manufactured by this process includes packaging containers bulky moldings such as swimming pools automobile components such as dashboards and passenger compartment panels. The preferred materials for processing include amorphous thermoplastics [PVC polystyrene (PS) acrylonitrile - butadiene - styrene (ABS) styrene - acrylonitrile (SAN) cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) PMMA and PC] as well as semicrystalline materials (PP PE PETP) and special laminates. The dataset combines the services of extrusion and thermoforming refers of plastic sheets inline. The inventory refers to an input of 1 kg of plastic pellets but the amount of plastic pellets processed is not included. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
