1. Method for abrasion-resistant non-stick surface treatments for pelletization and drying process equipment components

2. Once the surface has undergone crystallization, the strand is thoroughly quenched in a second quench region so that the strand will be ready for pelletization, accumulation or other handling steps.

3. Described herein is a surface treatment that can synergistically provide abrasion, erosion, corrosion, and/or wear resistance, while also potentially conferring a minimal stick surface that can effectively eliminate problematic obstruction of passageways and unwanted stricture, accumulation, clumping, and agglomeration of pellets and micropellets during the pelletization, transport, drying, crystallization, and post-processing of polymeric and related materials.
