Recycling Content TPE

TPEs with Recycling Content are the response to the increasing market demand for more environmentally friendly materials with a proportion of postindustrial and/or post-consumer recycled materials (PIR, PCR). They have been developed to support customers in achieving their own sustainability targets.

RECYCLING CONTENT TPE FOR AUTOMOTIVE

• Recycled raw materials content > 70%
• Reduced PCF compared to virgin compound
• Hardness range from 25 to 95 ShA
• Adhesion to PP
• Soft touch surface
• Controlled level of emission and odor, suitable for automotive interior
• Dry haptics
• In-process recycling possible
• Recycling-specific raw material influences are possible

Recycling Content TPE with Adhesion to PA

• Recycling contents up to 60% based on a combination of PIR and PCR materials
• Hardness range from 40–80 ShA
• Wide range of coloring possiblities
• Adhesion to Polyamides like PA6, PA 6.6
• Very good flowability
• REACH, RoHS conformity
• PAH-free
• Reliable quality and availability

Recycling Content TPE with adhesion to ABS/PC

• Recycling contents up to 54% based on a combination of PIR and PCR materials
• Hardness range from 40–70 ShA
• Wide range of coloring possiblities
• Adhesion to polar Thermoplastics e.g. ABS, PC, PC/ABS
• Very good flowability
• REACH, RoHS conformity
• Meets requirements of EN71-3
• PAH-free
• Reliable quality and availability

Universal PCR TPE 2nd Generation

• Recycling content up to 79% based on PCR raw materials
• Hardness range from 30-90 ShA
• Wide range of coloring possiblities
• Adhesion to unpolar Thermoplastics e.g. PP
• Very good flowability
• REACH, RoHS conformity
• Meets requierement of EN71-3
• PAH-free
• Reliable quality and availability

Circularity

• Focus on sourcing PCR, PIR or bio-based raw materials
• Supporting customers with
  • more sustainable TPE material recommendations
  • optimization of the TPE processes
  • possible reprocessing of end parts and re-integration in TPE granules

Processability by Injection Molding

• On standard equipment
• Processing comparable to virgin TPE
• Individual differences e.g. in flowability possible; please refer to the processing guideline of the material
• In-process recycling is possible
