Introduction of abs sheet made from recycled material
The quality of ABS sheets made of "new materials" is guaranteed, the performance meets the predetermined standards, and the color is bright and the gloss is good; the price of "recycled materials" ABS sheets is low: 1. The color gloss is poor, the color is dark (in many cases it will be made into black), and some may have odors; 2. The weather resistance, impact resistance, and blistering performance are usually worse than those of new ABS sheets, and the products made from each batch of materials cannot be guaranteed to be the same.
After the "new materials" are recycled and processed, the "recycled materials" with different degrees of performance decline are obtained, which is mainly caused by light aging, oxidation and heat aging. Including mechanical properties, forming properties, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, the degree of decline mainly depends on the service life and environment. According to the number of recycling, "recycled materials" can also be divided into "first-time recycled materials", "second-time recycled materials", "third-time recycled materials", etc.
Difference between making abs sheet with recycled and new material
Performance Differences
The performance of new material ABS sheet is usually superior to that of abs sheet made from recycled material. Since new material has not undergone any use or processing, its physical and chemical properties can be optimised. While the return material in the recycling and reprocessing process may appear performance degradation, such as plastic return material may have degradation phenomenon, resulting in the mechanical properties of abs sheet and heat-resistant performance is reduced.
Cost Differences
The cost of abs sheet made of recycled material is lower than that of abs sheet made of new material. Since the recycled material is recycled, the cost of obtaining raw materials is lower. However, reprocessing costs for recycled materials may increase, especially for materials that require deep cleaning and refining. Therefore, cost is an important consideration when choosing between new and recycled materials.
Environmental Impact
The widespread use of recycled abs sheets helps to reduce environmental pollution and resource wastage. By recycling waste materials, the exploitation of natural resources can be reduced, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced, and it is cost-effective as a liner plate with low performance requirements. The production of new material abs sheet, on the other hand, often requires the consumption of more energy and resources, which has a greater impact on the environment.
