Innovation in Recycling: PolyTech R&D Pty Ltd Develops Two Advanced Recycled Plastic Materials

We are proud to announce that PolyTech R&D Pty Ltd, the dedicated research and development arm of our company, has successfully developed two new high-performance recycled plastic materials.

Engineered using 100% Australian recycled plastic, these innovative materials demonstrate exceptional durability, versatility, and environmental integrity. They are suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries:

1.Nano-enhanced recycled polyethylene composite materials (plastic bags, etc.)

Mechanical performance (tested according to ISO standards)

Performance indicators	This product	Unmodified recycled PE	Improvement
Tensile strength (MPa)	28.5-30.2	17.1	67%-76%
Bending strength (MPa)	32.0-34.5	19.8	62%-74%
Notched impact strength (kJ/m²)	8.5-9.2	4.3	98%-114%
Elongation at break (%)	150-180	250	Retain more than 60% toughness

2. Polymer composite materials synergistically modified recycled polyethylene (outdoor seats, rubbish bins, wall panels, pipes, building materials, logistics pallets, etc.)

2.1 Mechanical performance

Test Item	Test results	Standard	Improvement
tensile strength	28.5 MPa	≥25 MPa	+14%
Elongation at break	150%	≥120%	+25%
Bending strength	32.0 MPa	≥30 MPa	+6.7%

2.2 Flame retardant performance

UL94 vertical combustion: The sample is subjected to two 10-second flame combustions, and the after-flame time and whether the cotton underneath is ignited are recorded

Test Item	first burning	second burning	UL94 V-0 Standard
after-flame time（s）	3	2	≤10/≤30
Molten droplets ignite cotton	none	none	No ignition

2.3 Lightfast performance

Test Item	Test results	Standard
Light fastness grade (500h xenon lamp aging)	Level 8 (no fading for 9 years)	no fading for 5 years（ASTM D4459）
Color difference ΔE value	≤1.5（Red/Green/Yellow/Blue/Gray）	≤2.0
