Abstract
The present invention discloses an extrusion die module having a flat compression seal and a conical or otherwise angled spillover surface. The die module promotes a flat surface to flat surface compression seal outside of the flow distribution channels and promotes better streamlined flow and material combination than a traditional flat disk die module. The die module promotes a reduced overall diameter and wetted diameter in comparison to standard flat disk dies. Further, the present invention relates to a method for utilizing an extrusion die module with a conical or otherwise angled spillover surface to minimize the die surface area wetted by an intermediate layer in a multi-layer coextrusion process.
