Severe parison sag in EEA extrusion '2079851475616104457
Problem Phenomenon
EEA extrusion '2079851475616104457 parison sag of 20-40mm causing the bottle bottom wall thickness to be only 0.3-0.4mm
Cause Analysis
EEA melt strength low, parison stretched and thinned under gravity; parison extrusion speed slow, increasing sag time; parison temperature too high, viscosity low, aggravating sag
Solution
1) Add slight crosslinking agent 0.3-0.5wt% to increase melt strength; 2) Increase parison extrusion speed to shorten sag time; 3) Reduce parison temperature by 10-15°C to increase viscosity; 4) Wall thickness controller to compensate sag
Key Takeaway
Parison sag is caused by low melt strength; slight crosslinking and wall thickness control are the key
