This paper presents an improved method for presenting torque rheometer data as it applies to rigid PVC extrusion compounds. During extrusion of rigid PVC, the compound is subjected to various degrees of heating, shearing, and compression. Three‐dimensional torque rheometry mapping can provide the rigid PVC formulator with greater insights into how a rigid PVC compound will perform on production extrusion equipment.
