This paper describes the results of a study of the effect of extrusion conditions on the gloss of rigid PVC profiles. Extrusion variables investigated are extrusion melt temperature, extruder temperature settings, extrusion rate, and the die/sizer metal surface condition. It is hoped that this information will help PVC profile manufacturers to optimize their process for achieving desirable gloss.
