Recycled PTFE
PTFE recycling | PTFE scrap processingReprolon is a premier global recycler of PTFE, transforming scrap into high-performance recycled materials.
Our grading system ensures every batch meets quality standards tailored to industrial reuse.
Recycled PTFE from Reprolon undergoes careful sorting and processing to ensure consistent quality across applications. These materials retain the chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low-friction properties of virgin PTFE, making them suitable for molding, extrusion, additive manufacturing, and other industrial processes.
Grade 1 Scrap includes clean items fabricated from virgin granular PTFE molding powders, unmodified by pigments or fillers. Typical examples are: cores; cracked billets and preforms; rod, tube, and sheet ends; chucking stub; out-of-tolerance and obsolete parts; heavy tape punchings and trimmings; and exceptionally clean machine turnings uncontaminated by oil.
Grade 2 Scrap includes items similar to Grade 1 Scrap; however, the products may be fabricated from partially or totally reprocessed PTFE, with some easily removable contamination allowable.
Grade 3 Scrap includes etched, degraded virgin, or reprocessed PTFE. Items with deeply embedded contaminants, such as rusty valve seats and gaskets, wire and cable jackets, oil-contaminated machine turnings and the like.
Unusable Scrap is extremely difficult to remove excessive amounts of oil and contaminants from some machine turnings and other types of scrap. Proper care of these contaminated products should be exercised during their collection and storage. Any overly contaminated scrap, particularly oily pieces, will greatly reduce its value and may downgrade the entire container as unusable. Freight charges on unusable scrap will be deducted from the value of the usable scrap.
Whether you’re looking to source clean-grade PTFE for material reuse or repurposed composites for molding and additive use, Reprolon offers reliable, grade-matched solutions. Contact us to explore which grade fits your project and receive a quote based on your scrap and recycling requirements
