In solvolysis, the chain length of matrix polymers is reduced toward monomers while removing the matrix from the fibers so that both the fibers and matrix chemical products can be recovered. Pyrolysis is more likely to damage the recovered fibers and reduce their properties in subsequent cleaning steps to remove the pyrolysis char, but some composites or mixed material applications require this route.  Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills.

Check with your suppliers to determine how they are addressing CPSIA requirements in their products. How can I be certain the raw materials I buy are compliant? How can I find the right polymer or additive for my needs? 

How can you make the most of color, from design through processing? To get the best results and the maximum benefits from a color strategy, you need the right colorant for the job. Starting with the benefits of colors and effects for key markets and applications, this eBook dives into the details of liquid and solid colorants—how they work, their advantages, and drawbacks, and considerations for selection and processing.

Afterward, parts need to be washed for 2 to 3 hours to remove unreacted crosslinking materials, such as zinc or sulfur.
