SELECTION GUIDE reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomers Post-industrial and post-consumer recycled TPEs To help brands reach their sustainability goals, reSound™ REC post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post- consumer recycled (PCR) TPE formulations utilize 9–83% recycled content. reSound REC TPEs can be overmolded onto polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and PC/ABS blends, and are suitable for injection molding.
Formulated for the consumer and transportation markets, reSound recycled content TPE grades can be used in applications such as personal care products, lawn and garden tools, outdoor goods, office supplies, footwear, houseware durables, consumer electronics, and automotive interior and under-the-hood components. reSound™ REC VX2800-0001 I 65A Natural reSound™ REC VX2800-0001 I 65A Black reSound™ REC VX2800-0002 I 65A Black reSound™ REC VX0100-0001 AR I 80A Black Recycled Content PIR PIR PIR PIR Recycled Content, % 25% 25% 40% 30% Recycled Source Carpet Backing, Nonwovens, Films, Super Sacks Carpet Backing, Nonwovens, Films, Super Sacks Proprietary Blend Proprietary Blend Hardness, Shore A 65 65 65 80 Color Natural Black Black Black Specific Gravity 0.88 0.89 0.88 1.05 Tensile Strength, PSI 784 788 1023 1400 Elongation at Break, % 687 662 673 700 Compression Set @ Room Temperature 29 27 30 – OM Substrate PP PP PP PC, ABS, PC/ABS Processing IM or OM IM or OM IM or OM IM or OM Agency Rating – – – – NORTH AMERICA GRADES reSound™ REC VX2800-9003 C 47A Natural reSound™ REC VX2800-9004 C 54A Natural reSound™ REC VX2800-0001 C 65A Black Recycled Content PCR PCR PCR Recycled Content, % 25% 25% 25% Recycled Source Transportation Transportation Ocean-bound Plastic Hardness, Shore A 47 54 65 Color Natural Natural Black Specific Gravity 0.94 0.95 0.89 Tensile Strength, PSI 250 311 900 Elongation at Break, % 585 581 670 Compression Set @ Room Temperature – – 25 OM Substrate PP PP PP Processing IM or OM IM or OM IM or OM Agency Rating – – – Automotive Testing* – – – NORTH AMERICA GRADES *Additional testing can be performed to confirm specific customer requirements.
