Recycled PC ABS Blends Technical Guide 2026

Recycled PC/ABS blends combine the advantages of both materials, offering excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, and dimensional stability for demanding applications.

Material Properties

• Impact Resistance: Superior to either material alone
• Heat Resistance: Maintains properties at elevated temperatures
• Dimensional Stability: Low shrinkage and warpage
• Surface Finish: Excellent appearance for consumer products

Application Areas

• Electronics: Computer housings, printer components
• Automotive: Dashboard components, interior trim
• Consumer Products: Power tool housings, vacuum cleaners
• Medical Devices: Equipment enclosures

Blend Ratios

• 70/30 PC/ABS: Maximum heat resistance
• 50/50 PC/ABS: Balanced properties
• 30/70 PC/ABS: Cost-effective option

Processing Considerations

• Drying requirements: 2-4 hours at 80-90C
• Processing temperature: 250-280C
• Mold temperature: 60-80C
• Shrinkage: 0.5-0.7%

Sustainability Benefits

Using recycled materials in blends reduces environmental impact while maintaining performance. GRS certification enables market access to sustainability-conscious buyers.
