UPVC-EPR compound is intended for the extrusion of profiles with thicknesses between 0.8 mm and 15 mm and designed to obtain a high-quality product, comparable to profiles extruded using a virgin compound, at a competitive price and with less environmental impact. UPVC-EPR formulations are predominantly made from milled post-industrial profiles, window profiles, calendered and thermoformed products. Calcium carbonate is added in variable percentages to optimise the product’s mechanical properties. During the process, additives such as paraffin waxes, Ca/Zn stabilisers and shock-absorbing agents are used to improve the product’s processability and technical performance. This compound’s main applications are technical profiles, spiral pipes, electrical conduits, sheet piling, and building profiles. |
