Abstract
Lower discharge temperatures and improved flow rates are obtained for the processing of meltable, solid crosslinkable compositions comprising a polymer, e.g., polyethylene, and a peroxide, in a single barrel extruder by equipping the extruder with an energy transfer (ET) screw that comprises: (1) an ET section with a distance averaged ET section depth of 8.0% to 10% of the extruder barrel internal diameter, and (2) a metering section with a metering section depth of 6.0% to 8% of the extruder barrel internal diameter.
