Edgetek™ REC PC
Recycled Content Polycarbonate Solutions
As consumer demand for more sustainable, eco-
conscious products grows along with regulatory
pressure, Edgetek™ REC PC formulations can help
brand owners deliver on their sustainability goals.
The Edgetek REC PC portfolio includes six PCR and
six PIR grades with glass filler levels from 10–30%.
Several of these perform on par with virgin PC
in terms of tensile elongation, tensile strength,
notched izod impact, flexural modulus and flexural
strength.

RIB DESIGN GUIDELINES
The minimum distance ribs should be spaced is
three times the nominal wall thickness (3W) .
Solvent
Solvents soften surfaces of plastic (plastic
must be soluble)—best for amorphous or
low crystalline plastics, such as ABS, acrylic,
cellulosic, PC, PS, PPO, and vinyls .
