Plastic material basic information

The important consideration should be end product and what your definition of "REGRIND" is. Reprocessing your own internal scrap (if kept clean and uncontaminated with anything else) is a significantly different question basis than using unknown or unclassified "regrind" from outside sources.As to the end applications – many custom processors adopt a simple program internally like the 80:20 approach above simply because it generally insures inventory 'velocity' versus turning cash into useless warehouse ballast by using start-up scrap, sprues etc back into the product as the run progresses.There is no written down /prescribed guidelines for use of Regrind or process waste back into to Processing machines (Injection molding/Extrusion/Blow etc). For non-engineering products & commodity products in India, there are processors who use only Recycled/Regrind material for cost effectiveness. Generally, most of processes 80:20 virgin to regrind is preferred, but it's not a guideline. All depends upon type of product, property requirement & application of products etc.

It's a small plastic injected piece that will be submitted to short period of time (2 seconds) of high temperature (95-105ºC approx.) in every cycle; this high temperature is produced by a filament where electric current passes through (like a house light bulb but hotter) for no more than 2 seconds in the process cycle. A complete process cycle last for about 45 seconds where the piece has time to cool off again. This plastic piece has to work for about 45-50 complete process cycles.PP or Nylon will work well (PE is very hard to flame retard and has a much lower softening point). I would however suggest that you look at a flame retarded nylon 6 or 66 that is specifically designed for this type of exposure. You want to look at the Glow Wire Flammability Index (IEC 60695-2-12) of the grade. You want to make sure that the materials rating (maximum temperature) is higher (maybe 50-100°C higher than your conditions, temperature, exposure time, part thickness, I say this because it is very difficult to estimate the radiated heat and resultant temperature). These grades are made by Sabic-IP (under the Starflam tradename), Lati, RTP, BASF and others.
