DSTDP extrusion '2079851475616104457 severe parison sag
Problem Phenomenon
DSTDP extrusion '2079851475616104457 parison sag of 20-40mm causes bottle bottom wall thickness of only 0.3-0.4mm
Cause Analysis
DSTDP melt strength low, parison stretches and thins under gravity; parison extrusion speed slow increasing sag time; parison temperature on the high side, low viscosity aggravates 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) lower parison temperature by 10-15°C to increase viscosity; 4) wall thickness controller to compensate for sag
Key Takeaway
Parison sag is caused by low melt strength; slight crosslinking and wall thickness control are key
