Abstract
A method for manufacturing a plastic web includes a step of hot extrusion of thermoplastic particles. The thermoplastic particles comprise polyolefin particles that are selected from: thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) particles; thermoplastic vulcanized polyolefin (TPV) particles; thermoplastic elastomer polyolefin (TPE) particles; and a mixture of all or some of these particles. A quantity of polyolefin particles is between 50% and 96% by weight, relative to a total weight of thermoplastic particles, the polyolefin particles being at least partially derived from recycled materials.
Claims19
A method for manufacturing a plastic web comprising:
- a step of hot extrusion of thermoplastic particles;
- the thermoplastic particles comprising polyolefin particles, the polyolefin particles being selected from:
- thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) particles;
- thermoplastic vulcanized polyolefin (TPV) particles;
- thermoplastic elastomer polyolefin (TPE) particles;
- and a mixture of all or some of these particles;
- a quantity of polyolefin particles being between 50% and 96% by weight, relative to a total weight of thermoplastic particles,
- the polyolefin particles being at least partially derived from recycled materials,
- the method being characterized in that:
- in a case where the polyolefin particles comprise thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) particles, a melt flow index (MFI) of the thermoplastic polyolefin particles is between 0.3 g and 10 g/10 min;
- in a case where the polyolefin particles comprise thermoplastic vulcanized polyolefin (TPV) particles, the melt flow index (MFI) of the thermoplastic vulcanized particles is between 10 g and 30 g/10 min;
- and
- in a case where the polyolefin particles comprise thermoplastic elastomer polyolefin (TPE) particles, a hardness of the thermoplastic elastomer polyolefin particles is between 45 and 65 Shore A.
