Extrusion International 3-2022

31 Extrusion International 3/2022  Together, Borealis and the Reclay Group, international experts in environmental and material recovery manage- ment, announce the beginning of a new, jointly-founded entity, Recelerate GmbH. The new organisation’s mission is to redesign the critical steps of the plastics sorting and recycling system for LWP to speed up circularity, born from a need to meet the rising market demand for high-quality recyclates for use in high-end plastic applications. Recelerate will play a critical connector role in the plastic value chain, connecting downstream and upstream exper- tise to rethink how LWP waste is managed, sorted, pro- cessed, and recycled. The new entity will be powered by Reclay Group’s strength in the area of extended producer responsibility schemes (EPR) and Borealis’ focus on growth of a more circular plastic model, powered in part by its pro- prietary recycling technology Borcycle™. This combination will enable a macro view approach to identify opportunities to add value and invest where it matters, to ensure more and more plastic waste from LWP is able to stay within the value chain. For Reclay, Recelerate will help grow the reach, scale and im- pact of EPR; for Borealis, it will open up supply of post-con - sumer plastic waste to be recycled with its Borcycle recycling technology; for customers and consumers, it means greater access to high quality recycled materials. Recelerate will con- nect critical partners in the plastic value chain; closing the gap, and accelerating the growth and scaling of circular plastics.

DURAST™ PPS can be used to mold porous structures through sinter for- mation. It is a linear PPS with strong toughness and heat resistance, along with strong chemical and radiation resistance. Since it has few ionic impu- rities, DURAST™ PPS also withstands rigorous electrical requirements. DURAST™ LCP offers superior vibra- tional absorption with high heat resis- tance and high elasticity in dielectric constant modifers. It also exhibits low water absorption and electrical prop- erties that are stable at high frequen- cies. DURAST™ LCP is available in both formless and spherical powders.

These include in particu- lar the latest fne mesh straining so - lutions, which are increasingly being used in the rubber and tire industry due to the growing demand for high quality and sustainability. In addition to the challenge posed by newmateri- al requirements, the focus is on consis- tently reducing scrap rates in order to cut costs and save valuable resources. Accordingly, UTH has focused on op- timizing the manufacturing of rubber and silicone products. With throughputs up to 10000 kg/h, UTH’s roll-ex ® gear extruder systems have set the benchmark worldwide for fne mesh straining of rubber com - pounds. Using either the compact two- roll feeder (TRF) or a conical twin screw feeder (DSE), the modular design of the roll-ex ® system enables the inte- gration of the strainer in each specifc line design. Because of the flexible and compact design a seamless integration into existing lines is also possible. At UTH's booth, visitors will learn all about the outstanding solution for the economical processing of rework mate- rial: the TRP Reworker. This modular sys- tem offers various options, especially for tire production, and thus helps to save energy as well as raw material and re- duces process-relatedwaste. Inaddition, the product portfolio of UTHGmbH also includes innovations such as the continu- ous polymer dosing systemandproducts for silicone compounding.
