Processing Guide:
|
TPE - Thermoplastic Elastomers
|
 |
|
Extruder:
|
Single screw extruder with vacuum pressure-relieved grooved feeding section (by increased screw pitch and channel depth)
|
 |
|
Screw Design:
|
Barrier screw, 25 - 30 L/D
Two mixing sections: dispersive-mixing spiral-shear element, rhomboid distributive-mixing section
|
 |
|
Compression Ratio:
|
3,5:1
|
 |
|
Cylinder Temperatures:
|
150-185 C 302-365 F
|
 |
|
Melt Temperature:
|
175-200 C 347-392 F
|
 |
|
Pre-Drying:
|
no, but 2 hours at 80 C (176 F) if extreme temperature change
|
 |
|
Calibration:
|
no, but supporting inner pressure if hollow profiles
|
 |
|
Miscellaneous:
|
Breaker plate/screens for higher back pressure and therefore smoother profile surface
