collage245Secondary polypropylene – this is saving the environment and a good profit for processing companies. Polypropylene among the many varieties of plastic is recognized as the most safe for the health of the consumer and the environment. It is from polypropylene that containers for food are manufactured, which the consumer stores in refrigerators or uses to deliver food to offices. But on the other hand, the decay time of this polymer is so great that nature can not cope on its own with such pollution.

Sources of polypropylene Polypropylene waste and polycarbonate waste do not arise from nowhere, there are as far as the sources of their appearance, which we constantly encounter in everyday life:

The first group includes the product obtained after cleaning the various units. These include ingots – outflows. Such scrap has become widely used in the production of various materials, to the basic properties of which do not make high demands.

The second group is the defective products occurring in any production. They are ground and, after appropriate processing, reused for the production of the same products. This also includes the gates formed as a result of cleaning the various units.

The third group includes polycarbonate waste and polystyrene waste, which are of household origin. Secondary polystyrene and polycarbonate become the basis for: packages from food products, from objects used in the household and at home, damaged parts of machinery.

Another group is the waste of PP, which appears in medical institutions. First of all, this includes disposable syringes, packs from droppers, bottles for various means. What exactly will be made of them after the secondary processing, depends only on the characteristics of the source material.

In modern industry, there are no items, all 100% made of primary or secondary raw materials.

Features of polypropylene

Distinctive features of ABS plastic:
High resistance to mechanical and chemical influences, especially to alkalis.
Strength.
Low level of moisture absorbing capacity.

In addition, the secondary PP is an excellent electrical insulating material. All its positive qualities have led to the fact that PP wastes are widely used in a wide variety of production areas:

medicine
Mechanical engineering
chemical industry
Food

Waste plastic ABS allows you to manufacture many parts for cars, plus body reinforcement is impossible without the use of artificial threads, the material for the manufacture of which is secondary polypropylene. The secondary polypropylene is indispensable in the manufacture of housings and individual parts and components of various devices, but the most famous way of using PP has been to manufacture food containers and, of course, disposable syringes.

Most of the items made from ABS plastic are recyclable, even without being damaged, but in any case, recycling of waste is much cheaper than creating new items.

Recycling and Recycling

Pollution of the environment with garbage of human life is one of the most acute problems of our time. Processing of polypropylene is quite simple in implementation. Polystyrene waste refers to the number of materials that are recycled to produce secondary raw materials and give products a second life. Such operations significantly reduce the cost of production and help to save pollution from the environment. Many organizations willingly and at a high price purchase waste of sintepon and waste polystyrene for their further processing. After this process, discs, bags and bags, containers and plastic cups receive a second life.

Secondary polypropylene after processing is suitable for making fiber for marine ropes, film and tape, insulating materials, packaging containers, food buckets and paints. Secondary polystyrene and polypropylene are necessary for the production of road pavement, noise insulation materials, electrical insulation and even yarns for making the basis of carpeting. The processing process is associated with sorting and thorough cleaning of the material. Then it is crushed, crushed and sintered. The result is a secondary granule of polypropylene. Now you can start producing recyclables. Pass waste foam and polycarbonate waste can be taken to many points of acceptance. Of course, in small quantities, polymers do not pass to reprocessing plants, therefore special garbage collection points have been set up, where the population and small companies (organizations) can take PP waste and synthepone waste for a decent monetary reward.

Polypropylene is indispensable in many enterprises, but the production of products from this polymer is so developed that the amount of waste is rapidly growing. Since the waste of sintepon can not decompose in nature under the influence of natural factors, its planned utilization and processing is necessary. For this purpose, enterprises are created on which secondary polypropylene is made. So from the utilized raw materials create the necessary consumer goods.

The most popular and most popular products:

Carpets intended for use in cars.
Seals required for the installation of pipe systems.
Pipes used in the creation of a ventilation system in the same cars.

But the most famous objects in the manufacture of which polypropylene is granulated is the boxes and housings, profiles and panels, decorative parts. An important secondary raw material can be considered material that has been processed after pre-treatment. In cases where the degree of contamination is too high or the polystyrene waste has a large percentage of impurities or foreign constituents, they are subjected to a special, more thorough cleaning before being recycled.
