We are recylcling rPVC with a proprietary formulation that, among other things, contains DOP and wax. The pellets immediately stick together when they are cut by the cutter and form a string (imagine the beads in a rosary.) This is problematic becauase the product should be in pellet form not string. How could we solve this problem?

These are the strings I mentioned above. Though most are longer than these.

Dear Niloofar
you can mix it with a small amount of calcium carbonate to prevent sticking one with another using an efficient mixer

Thank you for you answer.
The compound already had more than enough calcium carbonate in its formulation. We fixed the issue by significantly lowering the melt temperature.
