Easy to process with standard injection moulding machines
Following parameters should be used as guidelines:
- • Drying: not needed (PE is non-polar, low moisture absorption)
- • Extrusion / injection: ~180 – 240 °C (depending on grade)
- • Screw design: moderate back pressure
- • Avoid overheating / residence time for thermal stability
- • Use stabilizers (antioxidants) during compounding
- • If blending with virgin, pre‑dry and pre‑mixing beneficial
- • Store dry, cool, away from UV
- • Use sealed containers / bags
- • Prevent contamination (dust, other polymers)
- • Avoid stacking heavy loads that crush pellets
Processing fumes are mild (mostly hydrocarbon vapors)
Use ventilation, PPE
Ingestion, inhalation of pellets or dust to be avoided
Scrap recycling is preferred; disposal per local regulations, for more information contact your PAFT representative.
Very good potential for mechanical recycling
With each cycle, molecular weight falls, property deterioration
Compatibility issues with other polyolefins (poor miscibility)
Sorting, washing, decontamination critical
Closed-loop and open-loop recycling common
