1. What is Polyofelin?
Polyolefin is the largest class of organic thermoplastic polymers. They are non-polar, odorless, nonporous materials. As polyolefin materials are used in consumer goods, structural plastics, food packaging and industrial products, they are also called "commodity thermoplastics." The name means "oil-like," and refers to the oily or waxy texture of this class of plastic resins. This class of polymers is more commonly referred to as polyalkene, although "polyolefin" is still a common term in organic chemistry and the petrochemical industry.
2. How is it recycled?
Post consumer polyolefin plastic waste is delivered to a bale wash recycle facility where the bale is broken and placed through a magnetic tumbler to remove metal contaminants. The recycled material is then crushed and de-labeled prior to decontamination and washing. Once washed and cleaned the material is dried and separated into material types, colour and then flaked ready for conversion into RENOVAR™ pellets.
3. What is RENOVAR™?
All Global Hybrid Roofing Solutions Products are manufactured using the proprietary RENOVAR™ material formula, which uses post consumer polyolefin waste plastics, both domestic and commercial.The RENOVAR Technology produces non-hazardous, environmentally friendly, energy efficient innovative pellets. The technology comprises of mixing post consumer waste polyolefin (HDPE, LDPE, PET etc) in flake form, mixing and blending additional additives such as hardeners, fire retardants, colourants, UV stabilisers etc and converting into pellets. The pellets are extruded using our unique colour process system and inserted into appropriate compression moulds. Compressed, memory activated and conveyed for packaging.
When considering Synthetic Composite Products consideration should be taken in relation to two critical elements:
Colour Stability
Product Stability.
4. What about Colour Stability?
The RENOVAR formulated process satisfies both elements. RENOVAR contains environmentally safe, non-toxic natural earth colour pigments, which contain no man made colourants (that are organic and subject to colour fading), they are lime stable and compatible with all mediums. In-Organic pigments are permanent and unaffected by Ultra Violet. All Global Hybrid Roofing Solutions Products do not rely upon our UV Stabilser for colour protection.
5. What about Product Stability?
RENOVAR encapsulates the most advanced High Performance Anti-Oxidant UV Light Stabilser, solely to protect the product resins; the manufacturer of this product offers a 50-year warranty, guaranteeing product protection.
By utilising Compression Molding in our manufacturing, this permits and compliments the use of recycled material as well producing an enhanced structurally superior product due to the simplicity of superior memory retention.
