the present invented process is a new and useful way of recycling commingled polymer scrap film , and may be used for further recycling applications . using high - sheer mastication , this process is able to accomplish what thermoprocessing techniques could not and breaks down crosslinked and immiscible material . by adding a lower molecular weight polymer to the original scrap material under the right parameters , the material will intermingle with the new polymer which will inhibit it from reforming crosslinked molecular bonds . furthermore , the addition of a lower molecular weight polymer allows for the resultant polymer to become thermoprocessable when processing temperatures are too high for the original material to melt . the invented process describes how to take polymer material previously sent to landfill and turn it into an easily reproccessable moldable polymer .
