Whether fillers in TPE pelletizing require surface modification depends on their activity, surface area, and loading level. High-activity or high-surface-area fillers (like nano silica or fine calcium carbonate) and high-performance or high-filling applications must be pre-treated with coupling agents to improve compatibility and prevent agglomeration. For low-activity fillers, low filling ratios, or low-cost applications, pre-modification is usually unnecessary and can be compensated by compatibilizers and lubricants. Proper modification ensures better dispersion, stability, and product quality in TPE processing.

This 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.

This article outlines three key strategies to prevent oil bleeding in TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) products during high summer temperatures: selecting high-viscosity, high-flash-point white oil and optimizing the oil-filling process; adding surface-treated nano-silica to enhance molecular adsorption; and choosing high-molecular-weight SEBS or SEBS-SEPS blends to improve oil-locking performance. These methods help maintain product appearance, improve user experience, and ensure stable material performance under heat.

This article discusses the phenomenon of melt surging during TPE pelletizing, where molten material abnormally and excessively exits the die, causing unstable extrusion and affecting product quality. Key causes include improper temperature control, high screw speed, and unstable raw material quality. Solutions involve optimizing temperature and screw speed, maintaining equipment, ensuring raw material consistency, and following proper operating procedures.
