Recycling
POLYMER RECYCLING INDUSTRIES
ARTIS have identified the polymer recycling industry as a key driver for future growth. Our aim is to stimulate the growth of your business through innovative technologies and material development. Whether it is improvement in properties for a specific application or development of materials with high recyclate content, ARTIS have the people and expertise to make a difference to your business.
Unique methods for crumb analysis have been developed to provide:
- Particle size distribution
- Particle surface structure
- Surface chemistry
- Particle surface area
We can also benchmark your competitor materials.
RECYCLED CONTENT MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT
We can evaluate the effect of a range of recycled materials either as a matrix for a composite structure or as a filler in a thermoplastic or thermoset matrix.
From a simple evaluation of mechanical properties to an extensive investigation of the fundamental interaction between recyclate and matrix, ARTIS can provide the information needed to successfully develop your business.
OPTIMISATION OF RECYCLED CONTENT
As recycled content is increased in a material the fundamental properties will change. Often there are conflicting requirements for a particular application. Using sophisticated experimental design methodologies ARTIS can optimise your formulation for a single or combination of properties.
There is no wiser business advice than knowing what your competition is doing. With our range of advanced chromatography, spectrometry, thermal and imaging techniques we can evaluate and give you a complete breakdown of your competitors materials. ARTIS can then engineer a formulation and mix material on a laboratory scale to give you an equivalent to match the performance.
