Recycled rigid PVC compound is a versatile product, used as a raw material for processing various manufactured products
The strength of this product lies in the possibility of combining the technical performance of PVC compounds with the increasing attention to sustainability.
With its know-how, its R&D department ready to analyze new requests and its laboratory that checks products’ technical features, Laborplast provides specific formulations based on the customer’s needs.
The resulting compound is suitable for pipes and profiles extrusion and injection moulding processes. Compound filtration varies on the intended use: from a minimum of 80 microns for compounds intended to produce extruded items with low thickness or moulded parts, to a maximum of 500 microns for the extrusion of items with a high thickness.
Each production batch is tested in our in- house laboratory before being shipped to the customer.
Compound
UPVC-EPR
FOR PROFILE EXTRUSION
UPVC-EPR compound is intended for the extrusion of profiles with thicknesses between 0.8 mm and 15 mm and designed to obtain a high-quality product, comparable to profiles extruded using a virgin compound, at a competitive price and with less environmental impact.
UPVC-EPR formulations are predominantly made from milled post-industrial profiles, window profiles, calendered and thermoformed products. Calcium carbonate is added in variable percentages to optimise the product’s mechanical properties. During the process, additives such as paraffin waxes, Ca/Zn stabilisers and shock-absorbing agents are used to improve the product’s processability and technical performance.
This compound’s main applications are technical profiles, spiral pipes, electrical conduits, sheet piling, and building profiles.
Compound
UPVC-EPI
FOR PIPE
EXTRUSION
UPVC-EPI compound is intended for pipe extrusion and designed to achieve a high-quality product at a competitive price. UPVC-EPI formulations are predominantly made from mills deriving from pipes, mandrels and thick post-industrial and post-consumer profiles. Calcium carbonate is added in variable percentages to optimise the product’s mechanical properties.
During the process, additives such as paraffin waxes, Ca/Zn stabilisers and shock-absorbing agents are used to improve processability and technical features. By varying the filtration and gelling degree, different categories of compound are obtained to produce 1 to 20 mm-thick items. There are formulations to produce items of greater thickness (e.g., solid and perforated bars).
This compound’s main applications are cores/mandrels for winding, pipes for construction and plant engineering, and profiles for high thickness construction.
Compound
UPVC-INJ
FOR INJECTION
MOULDING
UPVC-INJ compound is used to produce injection-moulded items and designed to obtain a product with excellent aesthetic features without impacting ease of processing or mechanical performance.
UPVC-INJ formulations are predominantly made from milled post-industrial window profiles, calendered, thermoformed and injection-moulded items.
During the process, additives such as paraffin waxes, Ca/Zn stabilisers and shock-absorbing agents are used to improve the product’s processability and technical performance.
This compound’s main applications are technical items and construction fittings.
