Isnt a co-extruded product inferior?
Another misconception is that co-extrusion is inferior to monolayer. Co-extrusion is a newer and more capital-intensive technology offering significant benefit to the consumer by concentrating the essential materials where they do the most good. This gives the consumer a stronger, more durable product, and in turn, more overall value. Claims of inferiority of the high-tech co-extrusion process usually come from manufacturers who are hesitant to make the significant capital investment for additional extruders and specialized profile tooling, or have built their reputation on defaming this advanced extrusion technology.
