Recycled materials are used more frequently in manufacturing applications around the world to move towards more sustainable practices. Recycled plastics are an important part of this emerging market.
Thermoset plastics are non-melting recycled plastics that can be used as durable aggregates and fillers to provide unique solutions in a range of applications and products. Thermosetting plastic parts are mainly used in the electrical and food and beverage industries due to their non-melting properties and durability.
Thermosetting plastic recycling is the process of mechanical grinding, screening and sorting of industrial waste, which is converted into fine-grained powders and particles, from coarse to fine. In many applications, these lightweight plastic fillers have advantages.
Recycled plastic powders and granules have many uses, for example, as fillers in the paint and paint industry, and as additives for anti-slip or anti-slip aggregates in flooring applications.
Aggregate is also used in polyurethane and epoxy resin. Numerous applications of these unique materials have been created, and groundbreaking discoveries are still being made today.
Composition Materials has been an expert in manufacturing custom fillers since 1923 and has been manufacturing recycled thermoset plastics for more than 30 years. Melamine, urea and Clear-Cut® are three grades of thermosetting fillers provided by Composition Materials. Clear-Cut® is an aggregate and lightweight filler, usually used when white or transparent materials are preferred.
