This procedure is a starting point for most high-speed, high-intensity type mixers. Final mixing conditions and procedures must be refined on production equipment. Laboratory-size mixers generally produce 5-10 pounds of compound, while production models often produce 350-400 pounds per batch. 1. If mixer is equipped with a steam jacket, preheat jacket to approximately 200'F (93'C). 2. Charge all Geon 140 resin to mixer. Mix at high speed until temperature of mix is 140-150'F (60-65'C). 3. Add liquid blend (masterbatch plasticizers, liquid stabilizers and pigment dispersions, if possible). Mix well until dry point is reached. this should occur from 170-220'F (76-104'C). Polymeric plasticizers should be preheated to 120-135'F (48-57'C) before adding. 4. Add other ingredients, such as fillers, lubricants, dry pigments, etc. Hold out drying resin. 5. drop mix from high-intensity mixer to a cooling mixer, such as a ribbon blender or other low-intensity, tumbling-type mixer.
