MP product dimensional change during long-term storage
Problem Phenomenon
MP products after 3 months of storage have dimensional change ±2-3%, exceeding the ±0.5% requirement
Cause Analysis
MP physical aging relaxation causes continuous dimensional change; secondary crystallization slowly changes density and dimensions; low molecular species slowly migrate changing local density
Solution
1) anneal products at 80°C/4h before leaving the factory to stabilize dimensions; 2) select high molecular weight grades to reduce low molecular species; 3) slight crosslinking to reduce molecular chain mobility and inhibit aging; 4) control storage environment temperature at 23±2°C to reduce temperature change effects
Key Takeaway
dimensional change is caused by physical aging; annealing and slight crosslinking are measures to stabilize dimensions
