RevalPET: Scaling up of the processing conditions (extrusion blending) of the optimized formulation

Abstract

This deliverable describes the procedure and main results of the scaling up process processing as well as the conditions of blends compounding at pre-industrial scale. The action was carried out in three phases: 1) homogenization of rPET-O flakes, 2) Preparation of blends at pilot plant scale and 3) Evaluation of the quality of the product. The latter was carried out on extruded sheets under typical PP processing conditions, in order to establish the potential characteristics that a product would present, both morphologically and mechanically.
