RECYCLED PLASTICS | MATERIALS
electric value of 130°C from 0.74 to 3 mm (all colours) for the recycled PA66-based, 30% glass- reinforced halogen-free Technyl 4Earth A1E 60G1 V30, classified UL 94 V0 @0.75. For E&E applications, halogen-free flame
retardant (HFFR) materials are essential for fire safety. At the same time, manufacturers want to reduce their CO2 footprint and incorporate more recycled materials. This new compound facilitates both requirements, and achieved the first short term UL yellow card certification back in 2022. A full long-term mechanical rating is expected at the end of 2023. In terms of product performance, the Technyl 4Earth HFFR provides the same level of flame retardancy with 50% recycled content as with virgin material. The Technyl 4Earth range is derived from a
process that transforms post-industrial technical PA fabric scraps into prime-quality PA. Domo’s proprietary technology ensures both consistent material quality and security of supply to meet fast-growing demand for more sustainable high- performance applications. While PA66 is based on recycled airbag scraps, PA6 consists of recycled film and yarn scraps. These sustainable grades
deliver levels of mechanical performance compara- ble to traditional PA6 and PA66, and Domo is now looking to add lighter shades to the range to meet colour requirements. The new Pulse GX50 ECO PC/ABS recycled resin
from materials producer Trinseo has been incorpo- rated by a German automotive OEM and is said to already be delivering a lower C02 footprint, 29% less energy consumption, 22% lower water consumption, and 24% less global warming potential than alternative plastics. The Pulse GX50 ECO PC/ABS, made with 30% recycled content and
