Polymer Blends Made from Post-Consumer Polycarbonate

At a time when sustainability and climate protection are rightly more and more important, Romira is presenting new polymer blends made from post-consumer polycarbonate (PoC-PC). These materials freature significant technical properties and are also an environmentally friendly solution.

Technical Properties Retained

Romira polymer blends are characterized by their mechanical and thermal properties, which are fully retained even when recycled polycarbonate is used. These include:

• High impact resistance: These blends offer impressive impact resistance, making them ideal for applications where robustness and durability play a decisive role.
• Thermal stability: The materials retain their shape and function even at high temperatures, making them suitable for use in demanding environments.
• UV resistance: Thanks to their UV stability, the polymer blends are also ideal for outdoor applications.

Additional Advantages

The new polymer blends offer a number of additional advantages, e. g.:

• Chemical resistance: They are resistant to many chemicals, expanding their range of applications in various industries.
• Design freedom: The blends are easy to process and offer design flexibility, allowing the manufacturing of complex and aesthetically appealing products.
• Colorability: Despite the use of recycled material, the proven Mold In Color concept can also be applied to these blends.
