Solvay Specialty Polymers has unveiled a range of recycled grades of Solef polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resin. The new product range, called Fluorloop, is based on recycled PVDF scrap from the Solef PVDF production process as well as post-moulding scrap from Solvay customers. Fluorloop grades were developed through a partnership with Paris-based Agiplast, a leading compounder of engineering plastics and specialist in the collection and reclamation of recycled resins.
The new Fluorloop materials help Solvay’s customers to manage their Solef PVDF processing waste while also developing applications for reuse of the material. A range of Fluorloop grades are available for extrusion, injection molding, and compression molding.
Solef PVDF is a family of semi-crystalline fluoropolymers with high-performance capabilities including strong resistance to harsh thermal, chemical, and UV environments. The resins are used in corrosion protection for hydrocarbon service pipelines and flowlines that also carry significant amounts of CO2, H2S, and free water.
