Recycled PP/PE/EPDM with 10% talc

A compound containing 100% recycled PP/PE/EPDM with 10% talc. The recycled feedstock comes from post-consumer sources (shredded light fractions from end-of-life-vehicles). It has been processed using bespoke technologies for composite separation and selective separation (density, optical and electrostatic separation, demetallization). WIPAG Open Loop Compounds use post-consumer and post-industrial materials and can be used for a variety of applications. The offering includes materials based on PP, PP/EPDM, PA66, PA6, ABS and PC/ABS. Application-specific solutions for other polymers or filler combinations can also be developed.

Technical benefits

The low-density material is compounded to reach high resistance to both impact and fatigue.

Look and feel

The sample is light and floats in water. The feel is similar to HD-PE. Polished areas of the mould are matte, and the EDM surfaces repeat very nicely. The toughness of the material is tangible.

Environmental benefits

This material is composed of 100% post-consumer waste and has a CO2 -Footprint (GWP100) of 0,83 [kg CO2 eq.] according to GaBi (DIN EN ISO14040/14044)

The source is automotive shredded light fractions from end-of-life-vehicles.

Applications

Applications include wheel arch liners, underbody automotive skid plates, and panels for building and construction.
