Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved process for the extrusion of difficultly-melt-processible polymers.
- the fluoropolymer contacts metal surfaces of the extruder and die parts and preferentially collects there, thus providing a low surface energy slip layer between the extruding resin melt and the metal surfaces.
- a fluoropolymer process aid is added
- the fluoropolymer contacts metal surfaces of the extruder and die parts and preferentially collects there, thus providing a low surface energy slip layer between the extruding resin melt and the metal surfaces.
- This practice can greatly diminish the beneficial effects of the fluorocarbon polymer additive as the antiblock agent may remove, for example, by abrasion, or displace the lubricating layer of fluorocarbon polymer that is relatively weakly adhered to the die surface, especially if the die is not clean.
- purge compounds used to clean extruders and dies often contain chemical additives, such as stearates, and abrasives that collect on the die and seriously interfere with the adhesion and performance of fluoropolymer process aids in subsequent extrusions.
- compositions comprising difficultly-melt-processible polymers containing fluoropolymer process aids blended therein is achieved by the process of this invention wherein, prior to extr.sion of the composition through the extruder and the die, another composition comprising a polymer resin containing a functionalized fluorinated copolymer that is comprised of copolymerized units of tetrafluoroethylene and a functional-group-containing fluoromonomer is first passed through the extruder and the die.
- the extruder and die-treating polymers of this invention have a fluorinated backbone to which are attached pendant side chains that are terminated in carboxylic or sulfonic acid end groups.

- the functional-group-containing polymer is comprised of copolymerized units of tetrafluoroethylene and a functional-group-containing monomer that is terminated in -CF2 W groups, wherein W is a carboxyl or sulfonyl group as defined above.
- Such a polymer will thus contain pendant side chains terminated in the -CF2 group.
- the pendant side chain may or may not contain an ether group.
- Polymers containing -( F2) W side chains, wherein p is 1-18, is -COOR and R is a lower alkyl group of 1-3 carbon atoms are disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,506,635 (hereby incorporated by reference) .

It may be desirable to avoid this practice if the functional group, -CF2W, of the die-treatment fluoropolymer is reactive to the difficultly-melt-processible polymer, for example, a polyester or polyamide. In such instances the polymer resin of step (A) can be an inert polymer, such as a polyolefin.
