Users of recycled plastic should understand the limitations of the product; and in conjunction with their supplier, agree on the necessary specification limits that would best suit their demands.

Unlike some other companies, REPLAS recycled plastics are blended with additive to suit the requirements of the customer. Blending is done in a 3 ton batch process so there may be slight differences in colour and finished size between each batch but these are kept to a minimum.

A general specification would be as follows:

• Material Source - Post consumer and post industrial waste plastic and other additives
• Physical Properties - Sectional Integrity

Voids and Finish
Porosity to a maximum of 15% of cross section.
Maximum void length 10% of largest cross section.
Surface finish will be relatively smooth and not have any major voids or visible defects

Size
Sizes are indicative and do vary batch to batch as shrinkage is not consistent. Variance is approx 1.5%

Colour
With different batches and in some cases in the same batch run, product produced will have slight shades of colour variance.
