Modification and Property Improvement of Post Consumed Recycled Polyproplene Resin

Entropex是一家私人所有的加拿大公司，从事后工业和邮政后处理 消费塑料。自1978年以来，Entropex一直是加拿大市场开发的领先者 用于各种消费和工业应用的特殊回收聚乙烯和聚丙烯。使用 18万平方英尺足部塑料回收设施(PRF)位于萨尼亚，Entropex目前排名第八 后消费回收商和北美第18大塑料回收商。 从消费后的回收来源获得的聚丙烯是各种牌号的混合物。消费后 回收聚丙烯(PCRPP)也被其他一些聚合物污染，如高密度 与聚丙烯不兼容的聚乙烯。在使用时，这会带来很多挑战 一根柱子消耗丙烯。为了向客户提供高质量的树脂牌号，Entropex需要 确定经济的修改技术，以调整和定制其传入的一些关键属性 用于新产品的材料-特别是更好的冲击强度、更高的硬度和更高的熔融指数 适用于注塑成型的牌号。 Entropex和兰伯顿学院的先进材料工程研究(AMER)团队正在合作 通过这个项目来开发复合配方，以修改和增强最终的物理和 使用后材料的机械性能。该项目的成果将有助于Entropex开发 为客户提供各种应用的新产品。这将提高Entropex在 市场，增加收入，促进公司的增长。开发的流程需要扩大规模以满足 大规模生产。这将提供极好的机会，为设计、施工和 手术。此外，使用后废物的附加值将减轻我们堆填区的负担 处理回收途径中的大部分塑料。该项目还将为 培养高素质人才。

Entropex is a privately owned Canadian Company involved in the reprocessing of post industrial and post consumer plastics. Since 1978, Entropex has been a Canadian based leader in the development of market specific recycled polyethylene and polypropylene for a variety of consumer and industrial applications. With 180,000 sq. foot plastic recovery facility (PRF) located in Sarnia, Entropex is currently ranked the 8th largest post consumer recycler and the 18th largest Plastic Recycler in North America. Polypropylene obtained from post-consumed recycled source is a mixture of various grades. post-consumed recycled polypropylene (PCR-PP) is also contaminated with some other polymers such as High Density PolyEthylene that are not compatible with Polypropylene. This presents a lot of challenges when working with a post consumed propylene. In order to offer high quality resin grades to the customers, Entropex needs to identify economical modification techniques to adjust and tailor some of the key properties of their incoming materials for new products - particularly, a better impact strength, higher stiffness, and higher melt index grades for injection molding application. Entropex and Advanced Material Engineering Research (AMER) team at Lambton College are collaborating through this project to develop compounding formulations that will modify and enhance the final physical and mechanical properties of post-consumed materials. The outcome of this project will help Entropex to develop new products for its clients for various applications. This will increase Entropex's competitiveness in the market, increase its revenue and enhance company's growth. The developed process needs to be scaled up for large-scale production. This will provide excellent opportunity to create jobs for design, construction and operation. In addition, added value to post-consumer waste will lower the burden on our landfill site by processing much of those plastics from the recycled pathway. The project will also provide opportunity for training High Quality Personnel.
