RESCOFIL® 1476
RESCOFIL® 1476
The Quarzwerke Division HPF The Mineral Engineers offers special additives for odor optimization. The mineral-based odor absorbers of the RESCOFIL® product range were blended into a post-consumer polypropylene recyclate at a level of 5% by weight in a twin-screw extruder. The resulting product was subjected to olfactometric testing according to the VDA 270 standard. The results show that the addition of the newly developed RESCOFIL® fillers reduces the odor intensity of the recyclate significantly below the threshold value of 3 and is thus no longer perceived as a nuisance.
Product Features
- Reduce odor intensity of the recyclates.
SDGs POINT
- RESCOFIL® 1476 can reduce the bad odor from recycled plastics especially post consumer recycled one. This helps utilization of recycled plastics.
Technology Details
High-performance fillers were compounded with 5% by weight into a post-consumer recycled poly-propylene (PP). The results show that the addition of RESCOFIL® 1476 significantly reduces the odor considerably below the thresh-old value of non-disturbing level.
