- Four Main Methods of Physical Blending Modification of Polymer MaterialsThis article introduces four main methods of physical blending for polymer modification: dry powder blending, melt blending, solution blending, and emulsion blending. Among them, melt blending using extrusion equipment, such as single-screw and twin-screw extruders, is the most widely applied in industry due to its efficiency and ability to achieve fine dispersion. Each method has its own advantages, limitations, and application scenarios in research, testing, and industrial production.Material Introduction September 25, 2025
- How To Choose The Right Laboratory ExtruderLaboratory extruders are compact, high-precision extrusion machines designed for material research, small-batch production, and educational use. Compared to industrial extruders, they feature flexible modular design, precise control systems, and lower throughput, making them ideal for polymer modification, masterbatch development, reactive extrusion, and pilot-scale testing. With screw diameters typically ranging from 12 to 45 mm and output capacities of 0.25–150 kg/h, lab extruders provide critical data for process optimization, scale-up validation, and innovative material development across plastics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries.Products Release September 22, 2025
- Why There Is No “Universal” Screw Design for All PolymersThis article explains why a universal screw design for plastic extrusion does not exist. Different polymers, such as HDPE and HIPS, have unique thermal, viscoelastic, density, and friction properties that directly affect melting, conveying, and throughput. These variations make it impossible for one screw geometry to efficiently process all materials, highlighting the need for polymer-specific screw designs to ensure optimal extrusion performance.Products Release September 18, 2025
- The Impact of TPE Pelletizing Methods on Product Quality And Solutions To Common IssuesThis article discusses how different TPE pelletizing methods, such as cold cutting and hot cutting, influence product quality. It highlights key extrusion parameters including melt temperature, pressure, and conveying speed, which directly affect pellet consistency and final product performance. Common pellet quality issues—such as black spots, discoloration, poor plasticization, or excess moisture—are analyzed with corresponding solutions to ensure stable extrusion, improved material properties, and higher product reliability.Products Release September 15, 2025
- From Seaweed To Polymer Extrusion: A Sustainable Packaging SolutionSeaweed–polymer extrusion is an innovative and sustainable method of processing seaweed directly into polymer materials such as pellets, films, filaments, and 3D-molded parts. Unlike conventional fossil-based polymer production, this process minimizes CO₂ emissions while utilizing all natural seaweed components. The resulting seaweed-based polymers, known as Carraphane, offer biodegradable and eco-friendly packaging solutions with potential applications in films, small parts, and recyclable products. Continuous research aims to enhance water resistance and expand their role in the circular economy.Material Introduction September 11, 2025
- How To Solve Carbon Black Dispersion Problems in Black Masterbatch Production?This article analyzes the challenges of carbon black dispersion in black masterbatch production using twin screw extruders. Issues such as brittle or broken strands, hopper bridging, and uneven feeding are discussed. Key factors include dispersant ratio, temperature control, screw speed, and hopper design. Practical solutions—such as adjusting EVA wax content, optimizing temperature and screw configuration, adding vibration devices, and improving pre-dispersion of pigments—are proposed to enhance extrusion efficiency and ensure uniform masterbatch quality.Products Release September 08, 2025
