To fulfill more and more demanding application requirements, filled plastics producers are under constant pressure to raise the level of mechanical performance such as the modulus and heat distortion temperature (HDT) while maintaining viscosity at an acceptable level.
While much effort has focused on the attainment of the desired physical properties of filled systems, less work has been involved with the key processing challenges that are associated.
That’s precisely what we will cover today!
We’ll focus on the processing issues that are associated with filled systems and how those problems are currently addressed in the plastics industry.
