MKV to toll recycled PPS for Toray


German high performance plastics recycler MKV Kunststoffgranulate is to produce a recycled glass fibre reinforced polyphe- nylene sulphide (PPS) resin for distribution by Toray Resins Europe (TREU) under a tolling arrangement. The compounds —which will be marketed as Ecouse Torelina — will be produced from post-industrial injection moulding waste and will offer a 50% recycled content. The grades are said to retain at least 90% of the mechani- cal strength of the original injection moulding materials.


According to plastics testing and research institution SKZ, the new grades can deliver a carbon footprint around 45% lower than that of original PPS.


Glass fibre-reinforced PPS


offers very good flame resistance, long-term durability and chemical resistance and is suitable for a wide range of performance applications, including parts for electric vehicles and other automobiles, electrical and electronic equipment, and water-related parts. �www.toray.com �www.mkv-kunststoff.com
