Processing efficiency: In a competitive market, manufacturers want to maximize output, so choosing a material that processes well at good line speed is also essential. E-Beam requires heavy investment in E-radiation machinery, although it enables faster line speeds. They are cross-linked using sioplast technology and offer good processing and line speeds.

Using these process aids can result in greater production efficiencies with faster extrusion line speeds and molding cycle times. Improves line speeds and cycle times, leading to reduced energy use during processing Improved line speed and enhanced aesthetics with PVDF processing aid

Boost color consistency and streamline your product development for increased speed to market with Colorant Chromatics™ PEI masterbatches. Metal-free formulations to boost color consistency and increase speed to market

Design factors, such as shape or wall thickness, are certainly important as are other factors, like screw design and line speed, which all influence the choice of materials. Metal-free formulations to boost color consistency and increase speed to market

Processing conditions (screw speed, back pressure, injection phase speed, pack pressure, hold pressure, cool time, cushion / pad) 

Key considerations should include addition ratio, screw design, extrusion or cycle speed and other factors, such as wall thickness and part design.  Metal-free formulations to boost color consistency and increase speed to market

To correct this problem, raise the processing temperature and reduce the injection speed. Shear rate’ is proportional to the speed or flow rate that a TPE is moving against the wall of the tool. In this example, increasing the processing speed 40% will reduce the apparent viscosity the same as increasing the process temperatures by 20°F.
