Recycled PC/PBT (Polycarbonate-Polybutylene Terephthalate) Compounds

Recycled PC/PBT compounds are engineered plastic materials created by recycling and reprocessing post-consumer or post-industrial PC/PBT plastic waste. These compounds aim to retain the key properties of PC/PBT while promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact through the use of recycled materials.

Unique Properties

Recycled PC/PBT compounds offer properties and advantages similar to those of virgin PC/PBT, including:

Impact Resistance: They maintain excellent impact resistance, making them suitable for durable products.
Heat Resistance: Recycled PC/PBT retains heat resistance properties, allowing it to withstand elevated temperatures without deformation.
Dimensional Stability: They have good dimensional stability, ensuring parts maintain their shape and size under various conditions.

Chemical Resistance: Recycled PC/PBT compounds offer resistance to a wide range of chemicals and solvents, enhancing their durability.
Sustainability: These compounds promote sustainability by incorporating recycled materials, reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste.
Ease of Processing: Recycled PC/PBT compounds are easily molded using common plastic processing techniques, including injection molding and extrusion.

Alternative for

Recycled PC/PBT compounds provide a sustainable alternative to virgin PC/PBT. They are preferred when environmental considerations, such as reducing plastic waste and promoting recycling, align with the application’s needs. The choice of using recycled PC/PBT is influenced by factors such as the intended use, regulatory requirements, sustainability goals, and cost considerations. It’s important to note that the specific properties of recycled PC/PBT compounds may vary depending on the quality and composition of the recycled material, so their suitability for a particular application should be carefully evaluated.
