Recycling of RIM Scrap by Compression Molding 910581
This new process for recycling of RIM process scrap consists of granulating scrap parts, pre-heating, then compression molding. Painted or unpainted parts, either reinforced or non-reinforced, can be recycled by this process. The degree of recovery of mechanical properties, relative to the original RIM part, depends on the key processing parameters, which include compression time, temperature, pressure and granulate size.
