Typical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/order\/catalog\/product\/567-2030\">twin-screw extruder<\/a> investigations include compounding of polymers with additives, and reinforcing fibers and fillers.<\/p>\n<p>The handling of the still hot and formable extruded material is a crucial part of the polymer manufacturing process; it significantly influences the material properties and surface finish. To ensure that material requirements are met, a range of dedicated Downstream Options are available. Downstream equipment is used to prepare the extruded material for further tests. Besides the defined and reproducible handling of the polymer, the Downstream Process also allows mimicking full scale processes, and can thus be used for small scale production. This is helpful, especially when alterations to the polymer formulation and processing parameters are necessary.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve recorded an hour-long, free webinar for scientists, engineers and staff members from polymer R&amp;D and process development that explains:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Influence on process parameters on the downstream process<\/li>\n<li>Strand granulation<\/li>\n<li>Chill-rolling<\/li>\n<li>Injection molding as possibilities for downstreaming<\/li>\n<li>Alternative processes for melt processing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The webinar discusses the several applications, including small production of films (sheet and cast film and blown film), compounding, rubber extrusion \u2013 as well as testing the processability, testing of additives, and testing of optimization of processing conditions, using single or twin screw extruders. In addition, fish-eye testing, pigment distribution, surface quality, tensile testing, and weathering will be explained.\u00a0 You will see the actual instruments being used and illustrations of how they work.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\">Watch the hour-long webinar: <a href=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5100786165001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Downstream Options for Extrusion<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Here are links to the full series:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5192397281001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Extrusion Rheology \u2013 Usage of the Torque Rheometer<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5192350576001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twin Screw Compounding \u2013 Introduction and Scale-Up<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5100786165001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Downstream Options for Extrusion<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"http:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5100690062001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mixer Test \u2013 A Versatile Tool for Polymer Processing<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/665001591001\/default_default\/index.html?videoId=5103326805001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MIM\/PIM Application \u2013 Mixer, Compounding, Rheology<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note:\u00a0 This is the third of a five-part webinar series on general extruders and mixers for characterizing and formulating your polymer materials using rheology, viscometry, mixing and extrusion technologies.
