The European PVC recycling organization actively promote PVC recycling

    In many people's memories, PVC is synonymous with plastic, and PVC recycling problem widely criticized. Vinyl2010 organizations in Europe, is working to change this phenomenon. The European PVC industry attaches great importance to the recovery, the European Union set up a European organization plastic industry and trade organization named "Vinyl2010" promotion PVC recycling.

    In a recent Identiplast meeting, the organization published a report on the case of PVC recycled last year: in 2008 a total of 19,4950 tons of PVC were recycled, this number increased by 30% compared to 2007. PVC waste is being recycled by Recovinyl company. In 2008, it recovered from a PVC pipe in PVC rose 20 percent to 22,000 tons. However, nearly doubled the number of recycled PVC profiles, nearly 80,000 tons. At the same time, an increase of 50 per cent other products to replace lead stabilizers number of PVC, scheduled to reach the target achieved ahead of schedule in 2010.

    Vinyl2010 manager Jean-PierreDeGrève said: "Our objectives have been achieved on the reduction of lead stabilizers utilization of our commitment, which is a microcosm of our work."

    Between 2000 and 2008, 52% in Europe to reduce the amount of lead stabilizers, the number of over 66,000 tons. During the same period, the use of calcium-based stabilizers increase of 50,000 tons.

    Vinyl2010 next goal is to phase out the use of lead stabilizers in 2015, including 27 EU member states into account. Europe not only in reducing the use of lead stabilizers, the end of July, the United States announced that it would TeknorApex raw material suppliers to stop selling wires and cables with lead stabilizers. Industry executives TeknorApex of MikePatel said: "simply relying on the introduction of new alternative stabilizer does not solve the problem of lead stabilizers biggest challenge is to develop a way to be able to work together with other ingredients for a stable system of PVC wire and cable. "

    In addition to management, the European companies also in order to reduce the use of lead stabilizers make their own contribution. Baerlocher companies such as Italy's, has developed a series of "almost environmentally friendly" PVC stabilizer. Calendered PVC plastisol and covering applications. In addition, the company has also developed a new generation of solid calcium zinc production can be used for hard-rolled products and PVC blown film products.

    Increase value-added products

    Arkema (Arkema) developed a series of acrylic impact modifiers for PVC window profiles products. Durastrength360 is the first product in the series, Durastrength360 decrease in PVC formulations up to 15% of the amount of acrylic impact modifiers, door and window profile manufacturers can improve production efficiency and thus provide a better economy. In addition to high flexibility in vitro Durastrength360 extrusion equipment also helps to reduce the frequency of cleaning and maintenance, increase production speed profiles.

    According to Arkema it said the new technology platform has achieved great success in Eastern Europe.

    Belgian chemicals and plastics processing subsidiary of Tessenderlo Group, a US subsidiary Chelsea Building Products (ChelseaBuildingProducts) has developed a powerful new PVC doors and windows. Its proprietary "PVC composite" by squeezing can replace metal reinforcement.

    The company claims that the product can be provided with a metal reinforcement of the same advantages, steel and aluminum, and no restrictions and limitations. Allegedly filled with minerals, this technology is currently patent pending.

    ChelseaBuildingProducts for the new building in the United States

    Celanese (Chelsea) claims that the composite PVC reinforcing material thermal properties is 730 times that of aluminum, is 191 times that of steel. The material can be completely filled, the air convection can be reduced. --- Condensation reaction can cause frost aluminum and steel rust appears limited to the composite reinforcing material impact.

    Meanwhile, the structural characteristics of the product is similar to aluminum, PVC mold standard is the standard five times. The company spokesman said that the composite material can be modified to strengthen the PVC is provided strength and rigidity, and can achieve void-free fill. Noise enjoy the quiet life

    Polypipe is Europe's largest supplier of pipe system solutions, they take advantage of the terrain and acoustics developed DB12 pipeline system to help UK residents enjoy a quiet life. The system has been used to build soil pipes and waste discharge channel applications, it is possible to prevent the spread of noise.

    Polypipe MarkRadcliffe R & D Center, said: "We use this system in many ways, and achieved good results this system a great market space, such as hotels, apartments and schools, where the requirements are for sound effects. high, we have this three-layer structure in compliance with noise standards and comply with fire safety standards is currently expanding the scope of application of the three-tier insulation piping systems.

    PVC molecular orientation technology

    Molecor companies to increase the molecular orientation of PVC pipe technology.

    Molecor company demonstrated the technology at NPE recently held in the US, called on the production system has done a lot of improvements.

    The company said: on the one hand to improve the flexibility of PVC pipe so that the extruder to produce PVC-O type tubing, other improvements include the system can be kept completely dry, with a conventional extruder match and improve energy efficiency.

    Use of molecular orientation of technological development PVC-O pipes with high pressure carrying capacity, small pressure loss, while the wall thickness is significantly reduced, thereby reduce the weight, help to reduce transportation and installation costs. This device can be incorporated into any pipe production line for PVC-O pipe production. The use of molecular orientation technology gives excellent performance plastic pipe, such as excellent impact resistance, high resistance to cracking performance, high stiffness and fatigue resistance, excellent response to external load and high flex resistance.

    Data cited in a magazine, the South African engineer MikeOsry PVC-O are calculated using the 50-year period in compressive strength than PVC without molecular orientation technology or a PVC-M (with chlorinated polyethylene and acrylic resin-modified) 80% better material, four times better than the PE100.

    About PVC-O: biaxially oriented polyvinyl chloride (PVC-O) pipes are added through a special manufacturing process orientation 22212 pipe, this process is the extrusion process for the production of PVC-U pipes axial tension and radial stretching of PVC pipe so that long-chain molecules in biaxial ordered structure, high strength, high toughness, high impact, anti-fatigue of the new PVC pipe, performance is far better than ordinary PVC-U pipes.
