IIncreasingly demanding end use & regulation requirements (high temp. resistance, larger pipes, REACH regulations on tin stabilizers…) continue to push for higher performance rigid PVC yet at lower cost.
However, lack of experience could lead to wasting time on trial & error, higher scrap rates, selecting wrong additives resulting into higher cost. Additionally with almost no technical support from suppliers, it’s time for processors to be self-sufficient in knowing the technologies they are using. Join this course to:
Tailor more easily your rigid PVC performance by understanding the impact of additives, formulation & processing parameters (shear rate, residence time, melt temp….) on its mechanical, electrical properties…
Troubleshoot faster PVC degradation, high scrap rates …: know the causes & solutions and how the system will be impacted by your problem solving strategy.
Solve future challenges on your own (without relying too much on suppliers) by finding a balance between the shear heat generated & the stabilization package in your formulation.
