Definitions
- the present invention relates to a thermoplastic material and a process for obtaining it.
- the invention relates to a thermoplastic material based on a mixture of thermoplastic and non-thermoplastic polymers, preferably from recycled materials.
- thermoplastic material based on a mixture of thermoplastic and non-thermoplastic polymers, preferably from recycled materials.
- One example for all, for the enormous produced amount produced, is that of end-of-life tyres (ELT) .
- thermosetting-polymer-based materials i.e. with polymers which have undergone a vulcanization or cross- linking process.
- Typical examples of such materials are polyurethanes and natural or synthetic rubbers, the first having been subject to a cross-linking reaction of polyols with polyisocyanates and the second to so-called vulcanization .
- Polyurethanes are used for a wide range of applications. In foamed form, their main uses are in the refrigeration industry, in the building (heat insulation and soundproofing) and the shipbuilding sectors, while in the compact elastic form they constitute the main material for manufacturing seals, soft components for various purposes (telephony, toys, etc.), textile fibres and soles for shoes.
- Natural or synthetic rubbers are normally used in the making of tyres, shoe soles, seals etc.
- thermosetting polymers The main problem related to the use of both of these materials is precisely their property of being thermosetting polymers. During the manufacturing step, this need is solved by performing the cross-linking process/vulcanization process inside the mould for forming the manufactured item, but instead when the manufactured item has reached the end of its life the main problem is its recycling. Cross-linked polyurethanes and tyres cannot be formed again in new manufactured items because they are not thermoplastic materials .
- Rubber de-vulcanization or polyurethane glycolysis methods exist, which make it possible to re-obtain the initial materials, but such processes are not economically advantageous.
- thermoplastic elastomers TPE
- TPE thermoplastic elastomers
