Polymer processing is the series of operations that are carried out on polymers to increase their utility by changing them into shaped products (films, plaques, test dumbbells, etc). Polymer processing operations include:

• Single and twin screw extrusion (compounding, masterbatching)
• Injection moulding (plaques, test dumbbells)
• Compression moulding (film, sheets, plaques)
• Blown film extrusion
• Cast film extrusion
• Fibre extrusion
