Recycled High Performance Polymers – BIEGLO’s contribution to the Circular Economy

BIEGLO presents its recycled HPP products at the FAKUMA 2021. These products include Recycled PEEK, off-grade PEEK compounds and recycled thermosetting Polyimides (as additives and raw material).

Various recycled natural and compounded PEEKs are on offer in different stages of the value-chain, most prominent is DEXNYL® R-PEEK 450G with properties such as resistance to chemicals and high temperatures. PEEK as a high performance thermoplast loses only a few of its great properties during reprocessing; this holds true for granules as well as semi-finished parts. BIEGLO ensures to recycle PEEK in a quality assured way which fosters environmental as well as economical sustainability, thus helping it not to end up in an incineration plant.
While reprocessing PEEK the residues are sorted and the PEEK-melt is filtered before granulation. Melt-filtration guarantees continuous high quality of BIEGLO’s R-PEEK 450G granules. Thus with R-PEEK 450G BIEGLO brings a top HPP-thermoplast to the market at an economical prices which are about 50% less than that of virgin granules.
Besides R-PEEK BIEGLO also offers reprocessed thermosetting polyimide powder. The reprocessed thermosetting Polyimide powder has a high heat resistance, dimensional stability, excellent mechanical and electrical properties, low heat expansion and excellent chemical resistance and finds its application as a filler e.g., for compounding with PTFE Fluorpolymer and as a raw-material for Hot-Compression-Molding. Other niche applications include use in glass industry, compounding with thermosetting plastics, compounding with thermoplastic polymers and many more. R-Polyimide powder is available in 30µm and 50µm correl-sizes
Last but not least BIEGLO GmbH recommends selected lots of recycled PEI as purging-granules. This can be used between cycles of other High Performance Polymers as thermoplastic PI or PEEK.
