What if we could save all the plastic material from landing into landfills? “Recyclon” is one such method. Developed from recycled nylon, Recyclon makes use of pre-consumer and postindustrial nylon waste. While the makeup of the blend is not 100% recycled, the innovation has been widely celebrated by those who have been wanting a recycled nylon option since recycled polyester became available years ago. With potential applications ranging from automotive components that satisfy mandates for use of recycled material to consumer and industrial items where cost reduction is a key consideration, Recyclon is much more than a recycled material.
The Recyclon product range provides new options for balancing cost and value, and as a custom compounder, the makers, Teknor Apex is well positioned to help each customer strike the balance that precisely meets their needs. One of the main sources of raw material for producing Recyclon compounds is post-consumer carpet based on ‘nylon 6’ or ‘6/6 polymers’.
