Effect of the Technological Additives on the Properties of Recycled Polyolefins

Abstract:

Recycling of polymers is an important environmental task. However, during the recycling of polymers many technological problems arise because usually not only one polymer, but also mixtures of polymers are recycled. To improve technological properties, such as increasing fluidity, improving processability and quality, reducing the melt pressure in the spinneret head, addressing surface defects caused by viscosity anomaly and excessive shear stresses, preventing the formation of deposits and residue on the forming tool, increasing productivity, reducing the amount gelic, etc., use processing and technological additives. In the research, the effect of technological additives manufactured by Weihai CY Dendrimer Technology Co., Ltd (China) on the technological and thermal properties of recycled polyolefins was studied. It was shown that the technological additives improved the technological properties of recycled polymers: the mixing energy decreased when receiving compositions, the melt flow index values increased, the thermal properties did not deteriorate. The results show the possibility of using of the technological additives in production to increase the productivity of processing equipment and reducing its energy consumption.
