Maximising tubing functionality, Part II: Processing guidelines
Abstract
Maximising tubing functionality requires a systematic approach and a basic understanding of the idiosyncrasies of polymer characteristics and morphology. The right selection of polymers is 50% of the solution with the remaining 50% found in the processing and handling stages of manufacture. Batch-to-batch variations in polymer MI is a given; the wisdom is to accept and deal with it intelligently.
