[0117] Coperion ZSK-70mm co-rotating twin-screw extruder with Gear Pump ZP-90, Screen Pack Changer SWZ-300 and Granulator Unit UG-122 for comparison Tested to assess the effect of SEI on gel reduction. The ZSK extrusion press consists of five individually temperature-controlled barrels. The first barrel in the arrangement was used as the feed barrel to which no heat was applied. The screw design uses a first mixing and melting section, followed by a distribution section and finally a melt homogenization section. The resulting pellet was used to make a membrane and the gel count of the membrane was determined.

[0118] The resulting polyethylene pellets were extruded into films without any additives. Polyethylene pellets were produced in a commercial scale gas phase UNIPOL reactor system with a mass of 0.9135 to 0.9185 g / cm 3 Density, I of 0.30 to 0.60dg / min 2 value and an I of 25 to 35 21 / I 2 metallocene resins.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method of extruding polyolefin (112) by controlling the specific energy input to the extruder (102) so that gel is reduced. Disclosed herein is an example method for forming a plastic product (120, 208) with reduced gel, comprising: melting a polyolefin resin (112) in an extruder (102) to form a melt; adjusting the extrusion specific energy input in a press (102) to reduce gels in the melt; and forming the melt into a polyolefin product (120, 208). Also disclosed herein is an example method for forming a plastic product (120, 20) with reduced gel, comprising: melting a polyolefin resin in an extruder (120) to form a melt; selecting a throttle valve (104 ) position so as to reduce gel; set the throttle valve (104) at the selected throttle valve (104) position to limit the flow of the melt out of the extruder (102); and make the melt A polyolefin product (120, 208) is formed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to gel reduction in polyolefins. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of extruding polyolefins by controlling the specific energy input to an extruder so that gel is reduced. Background technique [0002] Films extruded from high density polyolefins, especially high density polyethylene, are becoming important products worldwide. Even more precisely, the use of multimodal or bimodal polyethylene in films has an increased market share compared to traditional unimodal polyethylene. In order to produce such membranes, complex reaction methods such as using multi-site catalysts and / or multi-stage reactors are necessary. This can often create membrane quality issues, such as the presence of gels. Gel is a highly localized defect in the membrane that is visually distinct from the surrounding membrane. Gels typically exist for several different reasons, including unincorporated polymer, unrea...
