Bedford Technology is proud to offer three uniquely distinct plastic board manufacturing techniques: Molded (Hard Tool), Continuous Extrusion (CE) and Multi Stage Extrusion (Multi-X). Multiple Stage Extrusion (Multi-X) is a process used to produce recycled plastic lumber products in our SeaPile®, SeaTimber® and SeaCamel® marine lines. For more information about our Multi-X process, please refer to our blog at: http://www.plasticboards.com/blog/recycled-plastic-lumber-manufacturing-processes-multiple-stage-extrusion-mu/. In this blog, we will cover a variety of applications and end product uses for our Multi-X lines.
Our Multiple Stage Extrusion (Multi-X) technology produces advanced composite plastics with superior properties to timber, steel and concrete for many marine structures and heavy applications. Multi-X products can also withstand heavy impacts by absorption of energy through recoverable deflection. Multi-X is also manufactured from a recycled plastic matrix with unique glass fiber reinforcement bars. The stiffness of our product can be varied and controlled to suit each project. This makes Multi-X the ideal product for marine structures and for coastal protection without damaging the environment. Multi-X recycled HDPE plastic lumber is utilized for large cross sections, at long lengths (up to 100’ or more) to be used in structural applications. This would include, but is not limited only to, many marine applications such as: dock & bridge pier fender systems, camels, backing beams/wharf logs, navigation aids and markers, guide walls, retaining walls, locks, corner fenders, bullrails, wales and dolphin clusters. Over the last decade we have seen the demand for recycled plastic lumber grow based on the industries need for a long lasting and durable product. Our product lines (SeaPile®, SeaTimber®, BarForce®, FiberForce®) meet these needs in the marine environment, being that they are resistant to: marine borers, extreme marine environments and the effects of ultraviolet light.
Mulit-X is a unique plastic lumber product allowing flexibility in meeting the needs of many industries. We see the potential for industrial and transportation applications in the near future which might include: transportation posts, fortress pilings, pedestrian bridges, railroad bridges, foundation piles, utility poles, billboards and signage posts. At Bedford Technology we are saying “Why Not?” to many new and exciting ideas for our products. If it is near water and the elements, it can be replaced by high quality HDPE recycled plastic lumber.
Bedford Technology’s plastic lumber serves as a replacement to traditional wood profiles, wood piles, concrete piles, steel piles and hollow piles (fiberglass). Bedford Technology can also design a custom plastic lumber product to suit your specific application, so contact us today at (800) 721-9037 and talk with one of our knowledgeable sales representatives.
