EEA extrusion film longitudinal streaks
Problem Phenomenon
Continuous streaks 1-3mm wide along the extrusion direction on the EEA extruded film surface
Cause Analysis
Local damage or uneven gap of the die lip; melt residence zone inside the die producing unstable flow; pressure fluctuation at the screw front end
Solution
1) Check die lip flatness and gap uniformity ±0.01mm; 2) Clean the die interior to remove carbonized matter in the residence zone; 3) Install a gear pump on the extruder to stabilize melt pressure; 4) Polish the die lip to Ra<0.1μm
Key Takeaway
Longitudinal streaks are caused by die defects and pressure fluctuation; die maintenance and pressure stability are the key
