CPVC Water pipes formulation adjustments to improve production output
DEMAND:
- Target output 230-250 kg/h
- Physical properties meeting current standards
Problem:
- Production output maximum ~200 kg/h. can not be higher
- Rough inner/outer walls, flow lines, and easily be degraded at high-speed extrusion
- Insufficient toughness and narrowed processing window
- Vicat softening temperature was below 110 degrees
Root Cause Analysis
- Original lubrication system:optimized for low-medium speed only,high-speed suitability is limited.
- MBS toughener:causing rapid internal temperature rise, increasing production complexity and difficulty.
- Original formula limitations: Not suitable for high-speed runs; higher line speed causes inner/outer wall roughness, flow lines, and degradation.
