Temperature Profile
• Feeding :140-160℃
• Compression :160-175
• Metering :175-180
• Neck :180-190
• Die :190-200

Short stop can be doen for tool ahcnges


Not more than 20 minutes.

Start and stop


Flush the system with LLDPE
Tools 1

Tools 2

• Tube Tool Draw Down Ratio (DDR)

die:Do
tip :Di
insulated core dia :Co
conductor dia :Ci

(Do2-Di2)/(Co2-Ci2)=1-3
Tools 3

• DDR for other material

PVC :1.2-4
PE :1.2-4
HDPE :1.0-1.4
HFFR :1-2.2
PA12 :4-10
Hot Water Cooling

Trouble shooting
• melt fracture :increase temperature on die head
• precrosslinking :decease temperature at compression
and metering zone
:shorten residence time by reducing
number of screes or mesh numbers
• undercrosslinking :increase temperature at compressio
and metering sone
• die drool :flame directed at die cavity
use presuure die(or reduce die land)
• scorch marks :reduce at die neck
• voids :increase flame temperature
watertrough closer to die
