Abstract

A process and an apparatus for the direct, continuous and flexible modification of polymer melts by branching off a brand melt stream from the main melt stream to be modified, dispersing the initially introduced additive in the melt in a specially designed twin-screw extruder, and subsequent recycling of the additive melt concentrate to the melt stream to be modified.
