Presence of iron in polymers extruded with corrosive contaminants or abrasive fillers

Abstract: Off-site measurements of the dimensions of extruder screws are used to monitor their wear. This wear causes the presence of metals in the processed polymer. We detected the presence of iron in polymers processed with corrosive contaminants or abrasive fillers. To this end we processed poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, pure or contaminated with poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, and other thermoplastics reinforced with glass fibers, talc or vegetal fibers, and analyzed the metals in the processed materials by X-ray fl… Show more

“…The predicted market shares are US$ 3.29 billion dollars for talc in 2021 and US$ 2.7 billion dollars for glass fibers in 2022 [68] . These reinforcing agents produce excellent mechanical and thermal properties; however, they have a high density and are abrasive to the processing equipment [69] . Additionally, mechanical recycling of these composites is energy consuming and not cost effective for industrial purposes [70] .…”

“…6,7 Moreover, the functional industrial products manufactured with FDM are mainly utilized in biomedical, automotive, aerospace and architecture fields. 8,9 For the first time, Momber et al 1 investigated the effects of polymer hardness on abrasive wear resis-tance of organic coatings designed to protect wind-powered marine structures from corrosion with variable forces. The tests were carried out with a specially designed Taber etching machine.…”
