Abstract
It is often observed in industrial practice that the thickness uniformity of blown film obtained with a given die varies with the type of polymer. We have shown in previous works the importance of the wall slip of polymer melt in the film uniformity. Currently available models of polymer melt flow through spiral mandrel dies neglect the wall slip. The present work considers the slip in flow analyses and predicts the effects of rheological properties on the uniformity; the decreases in melt viscosity and wall slip and the increases in shear thinning and the stress dependence of wall slip reduce the uniformity. The predictions agree well with the experimental results obtained in our previous studies.
