These new TPEs contain 25 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content from PVB reclaimed from broken automotive windshields and laminated architectural glass. Their performance properties also fit automotive applications that could benefit from vibration damping, such as door mats, door damping and glove boxes. These material developments create an opportunity to help divert mountains of valuable resources from the waste stream and upcycle them into new products.

This process starts with tows of continuous fiber which are pulled from creels through a proprietary impregnation die where the fiber becomes melt impregnated with thermoplastic polymer.  Depending on the type of fiber being pultruded, tows have from 2,000 to 50,000 individual filaments of fiber with diameters ranging from 7 to 14 microns.  Pellet length can be varied from 6 mm (0.25 inch) to 48 mm (2.0 inches) depending on thermoplastic composite forming process requirements.
