Plastic granules are the essential raw material for the production of plastic products. These small solid pellets, which can be made from thermoplastic, thermosetting, or technical plastics, are used in numerous industrial processes such as extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding. Their quality and consistency directly influence production efficiency and the characteristics of the final product.
Production and Characteristics of Granules
Granule production starts with the polymerization of the base material, which is then melted, shaped into strips, and cut into small pieces. The quality of the granules depends on their consistency, size, and purity. Strict control of these characteristics is crucial to ensure smooth flow and trouble-free processing.
Types of Granules
There are two main types of granules used in the plastic industry:
-
Virgin Granules:
- Made from new plastic, derived from non-recycled polymers.
- They offer superior quality and consistent performance.
- Ideal for applications requiring high resistance and reliable performance.
-
Recycled Granules:
- Made from previously used plastic, which is processed and transformed into new granules.
- They may have some variations in properties, such as lower resistance.
- They are an eco-friendly choice and are increasingly used thanks to advances in recycling technology.
