Troubleshooting the foam/skin insulation extrusion process

$15.00

Primary conductors for copper telephone cables are often insulated with HDPE foam/skin insulation, produced by coextruding a solid HDPE over a foamable HDPE. This paper discusses the basic concepts of the process and uses these concepts to develop a set of suggested solutions to a variety of process problems.
