GENERIC SCHEMATIC FOR TONER PREPARATION Large Mixing Vessel Small Mixing Vessel Agitation or stirring drives.

It requires a pre-mixing step, a long curing phase and an adhesive to bond to the plastic substrate. Additionally, compared to silicone rubber, the TPE is easier and faster to process, as it requires no pre-mixing, curing or adhesives.

To improve mixing when using color concentrates, set the transition zone temperatures above the melt temperature of the concentrate. When mixing color concentrates, higher back pressure is preferred to achieve optimum dispersion.
