Additional Information
Dynaflex™ G2755-1000-00 can be recycled as a filler or impact modifier for polyolefins, or can be recycled by grinding and reintroduction to the molding process. Similar to PP or PE recycling process, if separated appropriately, it can be recycled many times.

Municipality waste stream recycle code is "7" which is designated for "Other".

Injection Notes
Color concentrates with polypropylene (PP), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), or low density polyethylene (PE) carriers are most suitable for coloring Dynaflex™ G2755-1000-00. Improved color dispersion can be achieved by using higher melt flow concentrates (with a melt flow of 25 - 40 g/10 min). Typical loadings for color concentrates are 1% to 5% by weight. Liquid color can be used, but mineral oil based carriers may have a significant effect on the final hardness value. Concentrates based on PVC should not be used. A high color match consistency can be obtained by using precolored compounds available from GLS. The final determination of color concentrate suitability should be determined by customer trials.

Purge thoroughly before and after use of this product with a low flow (0.5 - 2.5 MFR) polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP).

Regrind levels up to 20% can be used with Dynaflex™ G2755-1000-00 with minimal property loss, provided that the regrind is free of contamination. To minimize losses during molding, the melt tempetature should remain as low as possible. The final determination of regrind effectiveness should be determined by the customer.

Dynaflex™ G2755-1000-00 has excellent melt stability. Maximum residence times may vary, depending on the size of the barrel. Generally, the barrel should be emptied if it is idle for periods of 8 - 10 minutes or longer.
