Decrease of PET raw material intrinsic viscosity (IV)

In the stretch '2079851475616104457 production process, the product exhibits the quality defect of "Decrease of PET raw material intrinsic viscosity (IV)". The specific manifestation is that the IV value decreases after processing, affecting product strength. This defect is relatively common when processing materials such as PET, PP, PC, and its occurrence conditions are usually related to the unreasonable settings of stretching temperature, stretch ratio, blowing pressure, and preform heating uniformity. When the "Decrease of PET raw material intrinsic viscosity (IV)" situation is severe, it will cause a series of chain quality defects in the product in terms of appearance, dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, etc., which not only reduces the functionality and safety of the product in use, but also directly increases the scrap rate and production cost. Therefore, this problem requires systematic diagnosis and optimization from multiple dimensions such as material selection, the status of the stretch '2079851475616104457 machine, heating oven, stretch rod, and blow mold, and stretching temperature, stretch ratio, blowing pressure, and preform heating uniformity.

1. Insufficient drying causing hydrolysis. This factor causing the problem reflects that certain process conditions or material characteristics in stretch blow '2079851475616104453ing have not met the optimal molding requirements. Such problems are often cumulative and hidden, and should be investigated and verified as key focus items during process debugging and finalization to ensure that hidden dangers are eliminated at the source. 2. Processing temperature too high causing thermal degradation. Temperature is the core factor affecting melt fluidity and viscosity. A temperature set too high will cause the melt viscosity to decrease, insufficient melt strength, and even thermal degradation; a temperature that is too low results in poor melt fluidity and insufficient plasticization, making it impossible to fill or form smoothly. A reasonable temperature window should be optimized and determined within the recommended range according to the melting characteristics and thermal stability of the material. 3. Excessive shear. This factor causing the problem reflects that certain process conditions or material characteristics in stretch blow '2079851475616104453ing have not met the optimal molding requirements. Such problems are often cumulative and hidden, and should be investigated and verified as key focus items during process debugging and finalization to ensure that hidden dangers are eliminated at the source. In terms of equipment maintenance, the regular overhaul and precision confirmation of the stretch '2079851475616104457 machine, heating oven, stretch rod, and blow mold are not in place, causing the actual operating parameters of the equipment to deviate from the process requirements, which will also become a potential inducement of the "Decrease of PET raw material intrinsic viscosity (IV)" problem.

1. Strictly dry to a moisture content of <50ppm. Raw '2079851475616104451 should select a matching drying equipment type according to the resin type and water absorption characteristics, and reasonably set the drying temperature, drying time, and dew point indicators. The dried raw material should be put into production use as soon as possible; if temporary storage is required, it should be stored in a sealed container in a dry environment (dew point below -30°C). Regularly test the drying effect to ensure the moisture content meets the standard. 2. Reduce the processing temperature. Adjustments should follow the principle of gradual progress; the amplitude of each adjustment should not be too large, and it is recommended to decrease by 5%~15% of the current value. After each adjustment, observe the product quality changes stably for at least 5~10 mold cycles, and continue adjusting only after confirming that the improvement direction is correct; avoid one-step excessive adjustment. 3. Reduce shear. Adjustments should follow the principle of gradual progress; the amplitude of each adjustment should not be too large, and it is recommended to decrease by 5%~15% of the current value. After each adjustment, observe the product quality changes stably for at least 5~10 mold cycles, and continue adjusting only after confirming that the improvement direction is correct; avoid one-step excessive adjustment. In terms of material management, incoming inspection of raw materials upon arrival and in-process inspection of work-in-progress should be strengthened, and the key performance indicators of PET, PP, PC should be strictly controlled to ensure the stability of molding quality from the source.

In summary, the causes of the "Decrease of PET raw material intrinsic viscosity (IV)" problem can be attributed to the combined action of multiple factors such as Insufficient drying causing hydrolysis, Processing temperature too high causing thermal degradation. Solving this problem requires starting from aspects such as Strictly dry to a moisture content of <50ppm, Reduce the processing temperature and adopting systematic governance measures. In actual production, it is recommended to establish a prevention and rapid response mechanism for this problem, and achieve stable production and continuous improvement through preform heating uniformity and biaxial stretch orientation control.
