In-House Sheet Extrusion & Raw Materials

We Radiant Honor are one of the few vacuum forming factories that has its own sheet extrusion production line. We have 3 sets of sheet extrusion machines which can process a wide variety of thermoforming plastic sheets, customizable with different colors, textures, and thicknesses to match your exact requirements.

 

Unlike most thermoforming facilities that rely on third-party sheet sourcing, we maintain absolute control over material quality, lead times, and cost efficiency right from the source. By owning our extrusion lines, we eliminate middle-man markup on raw materials, drastically reducing your overall project cost while guaranteeing material consistency across every production batch.

 

Direct access to raw materials means zero waiting time for sheet sourcing, accelerating production from concept to delivery. Our massive daily production capacity of up to 300 tons ensures that even large-volume projects are never delayed by material supply constraints.

 

Comprehensive Material Range & Customization

We process a wide spectrum of thermoplastic materials tailored to diverse industrial requirements, ensuring optimal performance for every project:

Materials We Process:

 

· ABS — Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. Superior impact resistance and scratch durability; available in haircell, matte, and high-gloss finishes for heavy industrial and robotics environments.

· ABS+PMMA — ABS/Acrylic blend offering enhanced UV resistance and surface hardness while maintaining good formability.

· ABS+PC — ABS/Polycarbonate alloy balancing impact strength and heat resistance for demanding applications.

· HIPS — High Impact Polystyrene. Exceptional dimensional stability, cost-effective, easily color-matched, ideal for structural base panels.

· ABS+PVC — Blended for chemical resistance and flame-retardant properties.

· PP — Polypropylene. Lightweight, chemical-resistant, food-safe, and recyclable.

· HDPE — High-Density Polyethylene. Excellent chemical resistance and toughness for outdoor and industrial use.

 

Global Brand Partnerships: We exclusively utilize premium virgin raw materials from world-renowned suppliers, including Chi Mei, LG, Bayer, and other industry leaders.

 

Dimensions & Thickness: Maximum sheet width up to 2.1 meters (unlimited length), accommodating oversized thermoformed applications. Sheet thickness fully customizable based on your load-bearing and structural requirements.

 

Diverse Surface Textures & OEM Customization

To elevate the tactile and visual appeal of your products, our extrusion lines can produce sheets with various custom textures and surface treatments:

• Diamond Grain — A non-slip textured surface ideal for handles, grips, and safety surfaces.
• Sand Grain — A fine, uniform texture providing a matte, sophisticated finish.
• Litchi Grain — A distinctive bumpy texture commonly used in automotive interiors and luxury products.
• Leather Grain — A deep, rich texture replicating the feel of leather, popular for premium applications.
• Micro Grain — A subtle, fine-grained texture for a clean, modern appearance.
• Glossy (Smooth) — A high-gloss, smooth surface for maximum optical clarity and reflectivity.
• Coarse Texture — A bold, rugged texture for industrial and heavy-duty applications.

Custom OEM Textures Available: We welcome custom designs and can manufacture products using your provided OEM textures, ensuring your product maintains a unique and branded appearance.

OEM Color Customization: We can extrude sheets in custom colors to match your brand identity, product design, or application requirements. Whether you need a specific Pantone color, RAL color, or a custom color match, our color masterbatch system ensures consistent and vibrant results across all production batches. Color masterbatch can also create distinct stripes during sheet extrusion, making it easy to identify different product models on the production line.

Key Advantages of In-House Extrusion

• Cost Advantage: Eliminating middle-man markup on raw materials significantly reduces your overall project cost. We pass the savings directly to you.
• Lightning-Fast Lead Times: Direct access to raw materials means zero waiting time for sheet sourcing, drastically accelerating production. From order placement to sheet delivery, we control the entire timeline.
• Tailored Solutions: We can custom-extrude specific formulations, colors, and textures on-demand to give your products a unique competitive edge.
• Quality Consistency: Every batch of sheet produced in our factory undergoes rigorous thickness and color verification, ensuring consistent quality from the first sheet to the last.
• Material Traceability: Full traceability from raw material source to finished sheet, with all material certificates and test reports available upon request.

Material Processing Flow

Our in-house extrusion process follows a strict, quality-controlled workflow to ensure every sheet meets your specifications:

1. Raw Material Preparation: Virgin resin from certified suppliers (Chi Mei, LG, Bayer) is carefully weighed and blended according to your specified formulation.
2. Color Masterbatch Mixing: Color masterbatch and additives are mixed at precise ratios to achieve the exact color, UV resistance, and texture profile required.
3. Extrusion Molding: The mixture is fed into our extrusion machines, melted at controlled temperatures, and pushed through a die to form a continuous flat sheet.
4. Rolling & Cooling: The hot sheet passes through a series of rollers to control thickness and apply the desired surface texture while cooling to the proper temperature.
5. Cutting & Sizing: The continuous sheet is cut to your specified dimensions, up to 2.1 meters wide and unlimited length.
6. Quality Inspection: Every sheet undergoes thickness measurement, color verification, surface inspection, and UV resistance testing before being released for thermoforming.

Quality Control System

Every sheet we produce undergoes a comprehensive quality inspection process to ensure it meets your specifications and industry standards:

• Thickness Verification: Ultrasonic thickness gauges measure sheet thickness at multiple points across the entire sheet, ensuring uniform thickness within ±0.1mm tolerance.
• Color Matching: Color comparison against approved standard samples using spectrophotometers to ensure accurate color reproduction.
• Surface Inspection: Visual and tactile inspection of surface texture, checking for any defects, bubbles, or irregularities.
• UV Resistance Testing: Accelerated weathering tests for UV-resistant grades to verify long-term outdoor durability.
• Material Certificates: All raw materials come with manufacturer certificates, and finished sheets are accompanied by test reports and material data sheets.
