Extrusion Notes
The plasticizer:
CARILON Polymers have been extruded with screw diameters in the range 20 mm to 75 mm and screw lengths 20 to 30D. This material shows good feeding without the use of grooved barrels, feed zone typically 6 to 8D. Gradual compression, ratio 2:1 to 3:1, over more than 7D is preferable with a metering zone typically more than 7D.

Typical operating conditions:
A typical barrel temperature profile would be from 220°C at the feed throat to 240°C at the die. Reverse- and flat-temperature profiles also may be used. Excessively high or low local temperatures should be avoided.

General suggestions:
Normal "good extrusion practice" should be followed. Avoid areas of stagnation for example, in breaker plates, adapters and at changes of flow direction. Smooth polished flow channels and high-chrome steels or chrome plating are beneficial to process consistency.
Notes
1Typical properties: these are not to be construed as specifications.
