    How do extrusion processing conditions impact the elongation properties of Nylon 12?

    Pud, thank you very much for this article. VERY useful stuff. We've discussed the draw down and water bath distance / air gap as factors but didn't have the machine availability to run multiple tests at multiple settings for comparison. This gives a us great starting point.

    How do extrusion processing conditions impact the elongation properties of Nylon 12?

    3DDave - correct, we don't have controls humidity / moisture. The tubes must travel through a water bath before the cutting step so roughly 3' stays submerged for maybe 2 seconds at a time. Compositepro - we've had failures where elongation decreased over time / they stretched farther at our...

    How do extrusion processing conditions impact the elongation properties of Nylon 12?

    Our company has had on-again off-again issues hitting elongation specs for a few customers (specifically one more than others). In some cases, our product underperformed and in some they have overperformed. One instance we had a tech from a company come to us and show us how they perform their...
