Chemical Recycling: Sometimes referred to as advanced or molecular recycling in the plastics world, chemical recycling of composites involves breaking down the composite’s matrix resin into molecular components by pyrolysis or solvolysis, allowing for the recovery of its fiber reinforcement. Composites can be ground into small particles for use as engineered fillers or maintained at larger scales where fibers remain of reasonable length to be reused as fiber reinforcement in their next life.   To make composites more circular, explore a variety of fibers and a range of resins.

Composition Novoloid, or phenolic fiber, is a thermoset organic fiber produced from a phenolic novolac resin. Very compatible with thermoset & thermoplastic resins Fiber-Line Fiber Selection Guide

Traditionally, Carbon fiber tows were used in thermoset composite applications but are being incorporated into thermoplastics more and more. Composition The majority of production carbon fibers are made from the precursor polyacrylonitrile (PAN). We believe that our ongoing commitment to protect the environment, to remain at the forefront of fiber and coating technology, and to ‘treat others as we want to be treated’ will continue to drive the success of our customers, shareholders, and employees.
