Plastinum to produce Thermoplastic Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. announced the commercialization of its first compounds made from recycled mixed post-consumer plastics, Infinymer Sml 31.1 and Infinymer Ssl 31.1. Plastinum has been developing its Blendymer technology — currently the only environmentally-friendly mechanical process to treat mixed-plastic waste in an economically viable way. “It was thought to be impossible, processing incompatible polymers into a usable compound. We believe that the Blendymer technology proves the opposite,” said Jacques Mot, CEO of Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. The Sml 31.1 is formed by a polystyrenic base and the Ssl 31.1 by a polyolefinic base. Both Blendymer compounds have the advantage that their composition and structure mean they can be used in a variety of ways - not only as new electrical and electronic components, but also in products ranging from piping to furniture, from lighting to sports equipment, from luggage to gardening tools. |
