UPGRADING MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WASTE PLASTICS

Waste plastics can be a result of industrial processes, collected post consumer or heterogeneous plastic waste. After collecting and separating via an approved system, such as the German 'Green Dot', blending 5 % - 20 % Lucofin® 1400HN or Lucofin® 1400MN to the 'homogenized' plastic PP, PE or PA waste renders the new plastic compound suitable for all kinds of new application. In some instances, a proportion of Lucofin® 1492M/ Lucofin® 1492M HG is needed to significantly improve impact strength, elongation at break and puncture impact of the corresponding blends.
