Dear Board:
I do monofilaments and have just changed from PVC to PET and I´m having a really bad time trying to figure out the exact formula to work with and the same with the temperatures. Right now my formula has PS, PP, LDPE and PET.
Please help me.
Thanks

Abathen,

I'm not sure I understand correctly. PET is typically processed as a single resin without additives.

Processing temperatures typically run 520-550F.

PVC to PET is a big change, hopefully we can help.
