ABSTRACT
DoLYMERJC powders are used in a wide array of applications from decorative C and protective coatings to rotational molding of deep-draw hollow parts and serve as processing aids and fillers. The conventional methods, however, for producing these powders from pellets or flakes have several deficiencies, including the batch nature of these methods and their high use of energy. These deficiencies not only make the production of large quantities of powders costly, they also render economically unfeasible the use of certain virgin polymers as feedstock. Furthermore, compounding these polymers with additives after they are made into powders is frequently difficult.
