Halogenated polymer scrap reconstitution: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Standard polyolefins pose significant fire hazards in large-scale hollow parts, which is mitigated through the precise integration of flame retardant chemistries during the rotational molding cycle. This control lever ensures regulatory compliance and safety without compromising the structural integrity of the molded article.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Halogenated polymer scrap reconstitution?

Thermal degradation during processing

(22)evidences

High processing temperatures required for molding often cause polymer breakdown or loss of structural integrity. Preventing this degradation ensures the final article retains mechanical properties and flame retardancy.

Inadequate mechanical property retention

(8)evidences

Inadequate bonding between polybutylene terephthalate and metal substrates leads to structural delamination. Robust interfacial integrity prevents mechanical separation in hybrid components.
