The present invention relates to a method of producing a powder coating material containing a fluororesin and a non-fluororesin. The method of producing a powder coating material includes kneading a raw material containing the fluororesin and the non-fluororesin with a kneading extruder equipped with a screw having a kneading zone, wherein a ratio of a length L.sub.K of the kneading zone to an effective length L.sub.S of the screw (L.sub.K/L.sub.S×100) is 21.0 to 50.0%.

Disclosed is a device for processing plastic materials, having a shredding unit, a conveying unit having a screw (7), and an extruder, having at least one extruder screw (11), adjoining the screw, wherein the central longitudinal axis (3) of the screw (7) is oriented at an angle to the central longitudinal axis (10) of the extruder screw (11), in particular at an angle of 80° to 100°, preferably 90°, and the longitudinal axis (3) of the screw (7) is offset with respect to the longitudinal axis (10) of the extruder screw (11) by an offset (v) in the direction of the direction of rotation (12) of the extruder screw (11) at or in the region of the discharge opening (8) or the intake opening (16) of the conveying unit.

The present invention relates to water and solvent-free polymers, in particular water and solvent-free synthetic rubber products like non-halogenated and halogenated butyl rubber products as well as a process for the production thereof. The invention further relates to a device suitable to accomplish said process.

The invention relates to polycarbonates with extremely low residual levels of volatile constituents and thermal degradation products, and also improved optical properties, especially Yellowness Index (YI) and good thermal stability, from solvent-containing polymer melts. The invention further relates to an apparatus and a process for preparing these polycarbonates with the aid of a devolatilizing extruder with at least three devolatilizing zones, and zones for introducing entraining agent into dispersion are present upstream of at least three devolatilizing zones.

An apparatus and process to maintain control of the temperature of low-melting compounds, high melt flow polymers, and thermally sensitive materials for the pelletization of such materials. The addition of a cooling extruder, and a second melt cooler if desired, in advance of the die plate provides for regulation of the thermal, shear, and rheological characteristics of narrow melting-range materials and polymeric mixtures, formulations, dispersions or solutions. The apparatus and process can then be highly regulated to produce consistent, uniform pellets of low moisture content for these otherwise difficult materials to pelletize.

The present disclosure relates to a facility for forming a wood plastic composite by mixing and extruding wood powder and a polymer resin. According to a facility of the present disclosure, in a process of forming a wood plastic composite, gas and water vapor contained in wood powder and polymer resin are efficiently removed, and thus, a coupling force between wood powder and polymer resin increases, and also, wood powder is uniformly dispersed inside polymer resin, and thus, physical properties of a wood plastic composite to be formed is not degraded, and in addition, since there is no stagnant section while molten liquid of wood powder and polymer resin passes through each apparatus in the facility, wood powder is prevented from carbonizing or polymer resin is prevented from solidifying, and thus, physical properties of the wood plastic composite to be formed are maintained constant.

An EVOH resin composition excellent in inorganic compound dispersibility and a method of producing an EVOH resin composition excellent in productivity and inorganic compound dispersibility are provided. The EVOH resin composition contains an EVOH resin (A) and an inorganic compound (B), and has a crystallinity of not lower than 36%. The EVOH resin composition is produced by: feeding an EVOH resin (A), an inorganic compound (B) and water (C) into a kneading apparatus including a screw-type side feeder (3); melt-kneading the resulting EVOH resin mixture while driving the screw-type side feeder (3); and expelling water vapor from the screw-type side feeder (3) to reduce the water content of the EVOH resin mixture to lower than 5 weight % while suppressing leakage of the EVOH resin kneaded body from the screw-type side feeder (3).

The present disclosure relates generally to an extruder for producing an extrudate. The present disclosure relates more particularly to an extruder including an extruder body having at least one material inlet and an exit opening. A rotatable outlet is coupled to the exit opening of the extruder body and is configured to rotate as the extrudate is expelled from the extruder body.

The plastic formwork includes a main member made of polypropylene, stone powder, flame retardant, and reinforcing agent mixed together, where the main member has a number of channels inside and the channels are sealed by caps. To produce the plastic formwork, polypropylene, stone powder, flame retardant, and reinforcing agent are stirred, heated, and melted together, and the mixture is driven through a mesh forming machine to produce the main member. Finally, caps are attached to the main member to seal the channels. The manufacturing process allows convenient, precise, and uniform addition of materials, thereby improving production efficiency and product stability. The formwork provides fire retardation, heat isolation, sound proof, water tightness, and reusability. Additionally, cement paste is prevented from flowing into the main member, thereby avoiding the breeding of bugs and molds.
