Static mixer is a first for PVC.A radically streamlined version of Sulzer Chemtech's traditional static mixer A static mixer is a device for blending (mixing) two liquid materials. The device consists of mixer elements contained in a cylindrical (tube)or squared housing. The static mixer elements consist of a series of baffles that are made from metal or a variety of plastics. has been introduced for PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. . Swiss-based Sulzer. with U.S. offices in Tulsa, Okla., believes this is the first static mixer ever developed for PVC. Called Polyguard, it improves thermal mixing and melt homogenizing, minimizes flow lines, and improves color distribution, though it doesn't mix as aggressively as a traditional mixer mixer, either of two electronic devices in which two or more signals are combined. In the type of mixer used in radio receivers, radar receivers, and similar systems, a signal is translated upward or downward in frequency. . Polyguard can also mix elastomers. It has shorter bars than a standard mixer, rounded on one side to make them self-cleaning with no place for resin resin, any of a class of amorphous solids or semisolids. Resins are found in nature and are chiefly of vegetable origin. They are typically light yellow to dark brown in color; tasteless; odorless or faintly aromatic; translucent or transparent; brittle, fracturing to hang up. Pressure drop before the die is less than 5%, Sulzer says. Its first Polyguard static mixer was built for a 40-mm extruder and has I been tested on pipe and sheet in Germany.
