Extrusion instabilities and its types
• Extrusion instabilities develop with increasing extrusion rate
• Key limitation to the maximum output of an extrusion line
• sharkskin instability
• stick-spurt instability
• volume instability
Sharkskin instability
• Initially small scale surface defect occurs
• Development of roughness on the surface of the extrudate

Examples of sharkskin SEM


Methods of Sharkskin Minimisation
• Modification of Die Surface
• Exit Curvature
Effect of Additives
Stick-spurt Extrusion Instabilities
• magnitude of the sharkskin defect increases
• exhibited strong stick slip regions
The Minimisation of Stick-spurt Defects
• introduction of the filter Effect of surface roughness on flow curves
Volume Extrusion Instabilities
• instabilities that involve the whole volume of the extrudate

The effect of apparent shear rate and L/D on


Examples of upstream instabilities volume instabilities for polystyrene
The Minimisation of Volume Instabilities
• Influence of Temperature on Viscoelastic Properties
• Influence of the Die Converging Angle
• introducing filters
