The extrusion of unplasticized PVC powder has been studied. Powder blends with low amounts of lubricants have been used in order to observe differences between structurally different PVC powders. Experiments with varying screw speeds indicate that resins consisting of agglomerated, small, globular primary particles are more sensitive to shear and deformation in the extruder channel than more compact particles. Frictional heat seems to be dissipated inside loosely agglomerated resin particles, possibly because of a larger internal surface. This additional heat, which depends on the shear rate, influences the melting behavior considerably. Scanning electron microscopy shows that PVC particles seem to melt without first breaking into smaller particles. A comparison between bulk-polymerized and suspension-polymerized PVC with nearly the same particle structure reveals a close similrity in melting properties. The results obtained in this work indicate that structural differences may explain the differences in melting behavior often observed when rigid PVC blends are extruded.
