Linpac Plastics

Our Products

LINPAC Packaging (Plastics Recycling Division) has an extensive range of recycled polymers. According to customer requirements these grades can be tailored so as to maximise post-consumer content and minimise cost. Our Quality Assurance procedures are rigorous and so we can exactly match our customers existing grades, time after time.

Each of these products can be supplied to specific ranges of Melt flow index (MFI), densities (S.G), impact strengths, talc content percentages and colours. They can also be produced with properties enhanced by the use of additives for example heat and UV stabilisers.

A sample of the material and a colour plaque can be provided before we begin supply. Certificates of Analysis and Conformity can be supplied with our product on request. Supply is in pellet form and can be packaged in 25kg valve sacks (paper or plastic), cardboard octaboxes (notionally 1Te capacity) or flexible IBC's or bulk bags (notionally 1Te capacity), Bulk Tanker deliveries are also available.
