Improving Recycling Quality with Sophisticated Intrinsic Viscosity Analysis
In the cutthroat market of green plastic recycling, accuracy, and quality assurance are not negotiable. Intrinsic viscosity (IV) is a key factor in determining PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) molecular weight and performance, affecting its recyclability and application.
Mr. Green Africa, a top recycling firm in Kenya, saw the need for high-quality PET material for their processes. To satisfy industry requirements and produce better product output, they approached Testron’s TT-IVS200 Intrinsic Viscosity Tester—a state-of-the-art intrinsic viscosity measuring instrument that is made for precision, efficiency, and reliability.
Challenge: Maintaining Consistent PET Quality in a High-Throughput Environment
Recycling PET involves rigorous quality testing to ascertain if the material is fit for reuse in producing high-quality plastic products. Mr. Green Africa encountered some challenges:
- Variable PET quality: Intrinsic viscosity variations impacted product strength and longevity.
- Labor-intensive manual testing: Traditional testing procedures were time-consuming and labor-intensive.
- Safety issues: Chemical reagent handling posed a risk to operators.
The aforementioned challenges led Mr. Green Africa to look for a solution to automate intrinsic viscosity testing equipment processes without sacrificing precision and safety.
