Aaron Industries announced the launch of JET- FLO™ Polypro, its new high melt flow recycled polypropylene (PP) compound. JET-FLO Polypro, which features DeltaMax™ Performance Modifier from Milliken & Company, is among the first recycled PP materials to combine two properties that are normally mutually exclusive: extremely high melt flow index (MFI of 50-70 g/10 min.) and good impact performance (Notched Izod of 1.5-2.0).
Sustainable Alternatives to Virgin PP Resin
High MFI and good impact strength make JET-FLO Polypro an excellent choice for economical, highly durable thin-wall parts, such as housewares. By adding significant value to recycled PP, Aaron Industries is helping to encourage broader use of sustainable alternatives to virgin PP resin.
扩大再生塑料的使用
“Our new JET-FLO PP is a major step forward toward expanding the use of recycled plastics,”Aaron Industries Corp. Robert M. Tocci说。“制造商不再需要牺牲冲击性能来达到高熔体流量，这对于薄壁成型和更快的吞吐量至关重要。我们与Milliken合作利用Deltamax技术取得了巨大的成功。Milliken是我们所需的知识，热情和技术资源的少数供应商之一，我们可以帮助我们开发这种新的化合物并推动回收行业的真正创新。”
亚伦工业公司（Aaron Industries）和米利肯（Milliken）在短短七个月内完成了Jet-Flo大院的开发。该产品在美国和加拿大的东部地区可用，以黑色和灰色提供作为颗粒。亚伦工业公司（Aaron Industries）在其展位上展示了喷气材料样品和零件。
扩展可回收PP的性能和加工性
尽管许多制造商都希望将可回收的PP纳入其应用程序以提高可持续性并降低成本，但他们可能在采用所需特性的材料方面面临挑战。欧洲杯足球竞彩当成型薄壁零件需要良好的冲击力性时，尤其如此。回收商面临的一个关键问题是来自包装等一次性应用程序的回收内容很大一部分。这些材料流可能缺乏典型的再生PP应用（如耐用商品）所需的更加稳定的物理特性。回收商还必须与原料的可变性抗衡。
从历史上看，亚伦行业使用过氧化物增加了其再生PP的MFI。但是，过氧化物降低了冲击强度。寻求更好的解决方案，该公司与Milliken合作利用其Deltamax性能修饰符，这可以在保持影响力强度的同时将MFI提高多达五倍。与维珍树脂相比，Deltamax技术使回收的PP能够提供相等或更好的性能和加工性。
Supporting Sustainability
Through performance enhancements to recycled PP, the new JET-FLO Polypro makes several contributions to the plastics industry’s sustainability efforts. First, it allows manufacturers to replace or supplement virgin PP with recycled content that has similar melt flow and impact strength. Substituting recycled PP reduces the energy use, emissions and raw material consumption associated with producing new PP. Greater use of recycled PP also diverts waste plastic from landfills and extends the short lifespan of single-use applications through reuse in durable goods such as totes and storage containers. A higher MFI enables manufacturing at lower temperatures, which uses less energy and results in higher throughput due to shorter cycle times.
除了其环境效益外，Jet-Flo Polypro还为新的应用机会打开了大门，包括具有更复杂设计和更薄的墙几何形状的新零件，例如DVD箱，帽子和封闭等。从处理的角度来看，循环时间有助于避免可能导致经线的压力。
合作伙伴关系以提高回收PP树脂的价值，性能和可取性
“Our partnership with the Aaron Industries team is helping to elevate the value, performance and desirability of recycled PP resins,”said Emily Blair, business development manager, Milliken.“Advanced additives like our DeltaMax technology can play an increasingly important role in solving the enormous challenge of plastic waste. Enhancing PP with DeltaMax can drive greater demand for recycled resins, extending plastics’ useful life and strengthening the circular economy.”
Blair is presenting a technical talk on the development of DeltaMax Performance Modifiers titled,“增强回收聚丙烯树脂的特性，以发现新的应用和市场机会”at the Compounding World Conference. She will speak on May 8 at 11:00 a.m. EST.
