Temperatura del barril en extrusión y su bajo impacto en la masa
Jim Frankland | Plastics Technology México
La temperatura del barril tiene efecto limitado sobre la masa en extrusión. La baja conductividad del polímero, el corto tiempo de residencia y el delta T reducido explican esta restricción. La fusión se origina en el cizallamiento y el enfriamiento depende de la viscosidad y del índice de consistencia.
