PORTAGE INDUSTRIES CORP., Portage, Wis., a maker of extruded plastics, retained Mesirow Financial Inc. as its adviser to review its strategic and financial alternatives, including a possible sale of the company.

The furnishings were made of a variety of materials, including extruded plastic in bright hard colors.

The support beams and wide windows of the Hall were of extruded plastic, but the white walls and roof were formed of the same sealed-rla wood as the bridge.

Lesser structures were roofed with sheets of dull blue or green extruded plastic, but on the headquarters building sunlight gleamed from glazed ceramic tiles like the white heart of a lime kiln.

The main room had a fireplace and stone benches along the walls; a table and two chairs of extruded plastic provided the only other furnishings.

Running too fast creates an undesirable condition called "nerve"- basically, inadequate contact time is allowed to dissipate the heat present in the extruded plastic.

Heat shrink tubing (or, commonly, heat shrink) is a mechanically expanded extruded plastic tube ordinarily made of nylon or polyolefin, which shrinks when heated in an effort to return to the relaxed diameter it originally had when extruded.

And they can be found staggering bleary-eyed in an endless column out of Toys "R" Us, like miners returning from the mother lode, hauling bags of extruded plastic, going broke in the name of Santa.

An example of servo valve use is in blow molding where the servo valve controls the wall thickness of extruded plastic making up the bottle or container by use of a deformable die.

The solution was a gray handle that feels soft to the touch and two wavy flexible blades, like double windshield wipers, in freshwater aqua - all made out of inexpensive extruded plastic.
