Give your extrusion dye a higher gloss finish-$

Lower your extrusion rate-$

Change the composition of your raw stock?

Co-extrude a shiny outer layer-$

Get the spec changed?

Live with it!

How can the I change the composition of the raw material? Is there any kind of ingredient that can be added to it, instead of some other changes? Please advice.Thanks for your assistance.

Maybe you can't. Have you asked your supplier?

If you could, you might trade physical properties for cosmetic attributes.

Too little to go on.

I am responsible for this project and I am working on the compound but I don't know what to do. Does anybody have an idea on what kind of additives can be added in order to achieve the high gloss finished. Please help!
