Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a process for extruding plastic compositions, in particular polymer melts and mixtures of polymer melts, above all thermoplastics and elastomers, particularly preferably polycarbonate and polycarbonate blends, also with the incorporation of other substances such as for example solids, liquids, gases or other polymers or other polymer blends with improved optical characteristics, with the assistance of a multi-screw extruder with specific screw geometries.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for extruding plastic compositions comprising extruding the plastic compositions in a multi-screw extruder, co-rotating the screw elements of the extruder in pairs and the screw elements being fully self-wiping in pairs, using screw elements with two or more screw flights Z, with centreline distance A and outer diameter DE, wherein a total of the tip angles of a pair of centerline distance A and an outer diameter DE, wherein a total of the tip…
