I want to know, why the air bubble mixes with a polymer. Although we thoroughly dried the PET chips, but see a lot of air-bubble at the outlet with molten PET before the spinning plate. What is the possible reason for this?
Sometimes bubbles appear due to thermal degradation of the polymers. This can be a temperature-related problem, but provided that your process takes place within the correct T and P conditions, it can also be caused by excessive shear stress. The extrusion screw may apply excessive shear stress to your polymer, causing local overheating and degradation.
