The effect of die design on the die drool phenomenon was investigated for metallocene based LLDPE. It has been found that die exit opening and the flared die design can significantly reduce the die drool phenomenon. Moreover, theoretical research has revealed that die drool onset can be explained by the negative/nonmonotonic pressure profile generated inside the die and/or at the die exit region. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
