The two-step extrusion method was used to manufacture pipe-grade high density polyethylene (HDPE) material from recycled HDPE. With the two-step extrusion method, dicumyl peroxide (DCP) can completely ...

KraussMaffei extruders enable scalable polymer recycling with rates up to 6,000 pounds per hour using modular systems ...

Editor?s note: The author, Donald E. De Laney, a consultant in polymer process rheology, worked with GE for 17 years and has worked with Dynisco over the past eight years. The plastics compounding and ...

The capillary extrusion behaviors of high-density polyethylene (PE) containing carbon fibers (CF) were investigated from a viewpoint of their rheological properties. For values of CF content ranging ...

Polymers are defined as materials consisting of macromolecules that are made up of small, regularly repeating smaller subunits. The coextrusion process is a manufacturing process that uses different ...

Hot melt extrusion (HME) formulation development depends heavily on choosing the appropriate polymers. This article reviews HME process parameters and highlights three polymers in HME: polyethylene ...

Drawn fiber is used in a wide range of applications including over-braiding for hoses, medical braiding, weaves as mist eliminators, strengthening for industrial belting applications, instrument and ...

A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

Polymer Packaging Inc. is jumping back into the extrusion business after more than a decade of absence. The Massillon, Ohio-based flexible and protective packaging maker is spending more than $10 ...
