Answer to Question 1

The drawdown can be increased by speeding up the puller with respect to the speed of the extruder.

Answer to Question 2

Short, low molecular weight polymers will melt sooner than long polymers and will therefore act as lubricants for the longer, higher molecular weight polymers in the same resin. The longer polymers, however, give melt strength to the resin. Therefore, extrusion resins would generally have a wide molecular weight distribution so that the resin would flow easily but still have good melt strength.
