PC Regrind (Polycarbonate Regrind) 

Polycarbonate (PC) regrind is a recycled plastic material obtained from post-consumer or post-industrial polycarbonate products. These materials are collected, cleaned, and ground into small granules or flakes, which can be reused in various manufacturing processes. PC regrind offers a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to virgin polycarbonate, retaining many of the valuable properties of the original material.

Key Properties:

1. High Impact Resistance: PC regrind retains excellent impact resistance, making it suitable for applications that require durability and toughness.

2. Optical Clarity: Although slightly reduced compared to virgin PC, regrind still offers good transparency and optical clarity, useful for applications where clear materials are needed.

3. Thermal Stability: The regrind maintains good thermal stability, allowing it to withstand high temperatures without significant degradation.

4. Chemical Resistance: PC regrind exhibits resistance to many chemicals, ensuring the longevity and durability of the end products.

5. Processability: The material can be easily processed using standard techniques such as injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding.

6. Environmental Benefits: Using PC regrind reduces plastic waste, conserves resources, and supports sustainability by promoting the circular economy.

Common Applications of Polycarbonate Regrind:

- Automotive Parts: Ideal for manufacturing various automotive components, including lenses, dashboard elements, and exterior trim parts, where impact resistance and clarity are important.

- Electronic Housings: Used in producing housings for electronic devices and appliances, benefiting from its thermal stability and durability.

- Construction Materials: Suitable for making glazing panels, light diffusers, and other construction-related products that require strength and clarity.

- Consumer Goods: Applied in producing a range of household items, including kitchenware, storage containers, and protective gear.

- Optical Media: Utilized in the manufacturing of optical discs and other media products where optical clarity is necessary.
