Maxxam™ REC Recycled Polyolefin Formulations
Maxxam™ REC Recycled Polyolefins are formulated
with 25–100% recycled resin from post-industrial
recycled (PIR) and post-consumer recycled (PCR)
sources.
Maxxam REC Polyolefins
can be fully customized to meet specific application
needs.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Formulated with 25–100% recycled resin
from PIR & PCR sources
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Achieves equivalent performance to
standard polyolefin formulations
• Can be recycled at end of life
• Provides good stiffness, durability,
impact resistance and UV stability
• Enables customized performance
characteristics depending on
application need
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Maxxam REC Polyolefins are suitable for use across
many industries and applications where traditional
polyolefin materials are used, including:
• Transportation - HVAC systems, engine guards,
battery housings, flame retardant applications
• Industrial - Structural parts, furniture
• Consumer - Household appliances,
personal care items, packaging, office supplies,
food contact applications
• Electrical and Electronic – Housings, buttons,
junction boxes
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with 25–100% recycled resin
from PIR and/or PCR sources
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint
• Can be recycled at end of life

Follow up by purging machine with general purpose PP • Residence time should not exceed 5 minutes for Maxxam FR products • General ventilation is suggested Shut Down • Purge the equipment with a general purpose PP • All tooling and equipment must be free of any residual Maxxam FR upon shut down • Continue generating parts made from the natural PP until clear • Wipe down tool steel with mold cleaner • When using a hot runner system, care must be taken to remove residual product from the manifold MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Cold Slug Wells • Place cold slug wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first emerging from the nozzle • Place cold slug wells at every 90° bend in the runner system • Well depths approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the runner provide best results Draft Angle • Draft angle should be 1/2°–1° per side.
