Melt fracture reduction

Melt fracture is reduced, without the necessity of polymer processing-aid additives specifically designed to alleviate exit region surface melt fracture phenomenon, by heating at least a portion of the die through which the polymer is extruded. The die exit region is maintained at a temperature abov...

Zusammenfassung:Melt fracture is reduced, without the necessity of polymer processing-aid additives specifically designed to alleviate exit region surface melt fracture phenomenon, by heating at least a portion of the die through which the polymer is extruded. The die exit region is maintained at a temperature above the bulk melt temperature of the polymer extruded through the die exit hole.
