We have developed and patented a number of specialized technologies that provide a means for our customers to recover and recycle the plastic scrap they generate. These materials are reprocessed and rejuvenated so they may be used in their originally intended application.We provide reprocessed thermoplastic resins for injection mold and extrusion applications. Our recycled materials perform with the same characteristics, quality, consistency and predictability as the virgin resins they replace. All of this is combined with a significant cost savings compared to the cost of virgin materials.Our expertise lies in separating various contaminates from valuable reusable thermoplastic materal. Our separation services include; multi-layer separation, paint removal, optical sorting, and electro-static separation.In addition to our reprocessed resins we also compound custom virgin resin Pflex-i Thermoplastic Elastomer. This product can be produced in any duro or color required.Our ISO 9001 certification exemplifies our commitment to quality. Our facility is also equipped with a comprehensive A2LA certified laboratory that includes a wide range of specialized testing equipment. Our laboratory routinely performs testing of mechanical and physical properties of plastic materials as well as contamination analysis. We are able to provide our customer with a certification of analysis on all pellets.

We have commercialized a technology for recycling multi-layer automotive instrument panels (IPs) and door panels. The most common composition of automotive IP's is currently a multi-layer technique that utilizes a rigid substrate, foam center, and a soft skin to create a padded, soft IP. Our automated system results in three seperate, autonomous pure streams of raw material: The Substrate, The Foam, and The Skin. We are able to obtain purity levels greater than 99.98%.By reintroducing this material in a blend with virgin material, a product is created that performs in accordance with all specification requirements and at a significantly lower cost. We can further pelletize this material and supply a certified pellet.
