Gel migration is measured using a quantitative internal method
* 6151 can be supplied with UV protection
* Values concluded from the simulation of materials rheological data and modelling standard extrusion tooling
Pressure: can affect extruder performance, higher pressure gives a lower output at the same rpm
Shear rate: has a relation with self-cleaning of the walls and mixing conditions
Stress: can affect the surface of the product, less stress gives a better surface aspect
