Summary:After a two-year development in cooperation with a major electronics OEM and plastic manufacturer, in 1998 3M introduced a fully recycling compatible label for ABS, PC and HIPS and their blends. This type of product is designed to be recycling compatible and not influence physical and mechanical properties of the recycled feedstock. Tests have been conducted on important plastic parameters like impact strength, MFI and MVI, tensile, elongation and vicat temperature.
