Processing Instruments

Correlation between laboratory mixer tests and extrusion behaviour in production of PVC dry blends

Due to the new EU Directive "RoHS 2002/95/EG" (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), PVC producers are facing the challenges of substituting material components such as lead. The application note shows how laboratory mixer test can deliver valuable information on the processing behaviour of PVC on twin-screw extruder systems in production. Download application note.
