Processing guidelines

Starting parameters for your line.

Typical set-up values for this grade. Use them as a starting window and fine-tune on your machine — the batch Material Test Report gives the measured MFI and moisture for the exact lot you receive.

💧

Drying

Optional · 60–70°C, 1–2 h

HDPE is non-hygroscopic — dry only if stored humid or you see surface splay

🌡️

Melt temperature

190–230°C

Start mid-window; rPCR runs cleanest at the lower end

Barrel profile

Feed 170 · Comp 200 · Met 215 · Die 210°C

Blow moulding — flat or slightly rising

🧊

Mould / die temp

20–40°C

Higher = better gloss, longer cycle

⚙️

Screw speed

60–100 rpm

Keep shear moderate to protect MFI

📐

Shrinkage

1.5–3.0%

Same tooling as virgin HDPE

Takes masterbatch at virgin let-down ratios

Setup notes from our materials team

Blend-in ratioMost customers start at 30–50% rHDPE with virgin and move to 100% once colour and wall thickness are dialled in. The grade runs neat on standard equipment.

PurgingPurge with virgin HDPE or a commercial purge compound before and after — recycled grades carry more volatiles, so vent barrels properly.

Screen pack80/120 mesh screen recommended on extrusion lines. Contamination is controlled at source, but a screen protects your die.

OdourLow-odour grade. If odour is critical (food packaging), run a 20°C lower melt and increase venting; we can supply an odour-treated lot on request.

Values are typical starting points for standard equipment, not guarantees. Always confirm against the batch MTR and your own trial. Spec sheet (PDF) ↓ · Talk to a materials engineer

Batch-to-batch consistency

Every batch, measured. Here's the spread.

The number-one question we get on PCR is consistency. This is the melt flow result from each recent batch of this grade, plotted against the spec band. Anything outside the band is held and never shipped.
