Recycling Service

Product Details:

Shimi Research Center Private Limited is the only company in the world till date to provide Acrylic Fibre Waste Recycling Technology/Expertise. We provide all the necessary technical know-how on processing acrylic fibre waste to grey Polyacrylonitrile, PAN polymer so that it can be used as the raw material for acrylic fibre manufacturing, without any changes in the physical and chemical properties. The process is carried out in an environment friendly manner.

The acrylic fibre wastes are generated in different stages of fibre production line in the form of

• Acrylic soft waste.
• Acrylic tangled tow waste.
• Acrylic off grade soft and hard waste, etc.

These wastes find their market in Asian countries, where they are subjected to manual separation and production of yarn either in the actual form or blending with other fibre. The acrylic fibre wastes also find application in manufacturing of acrylic base adhesives and paints.

The global demands for synthetic fibre and higher cost of acrylic fibres in compare to polyester fibre require measures to minimize the waste and reduce the production cost.

In our patented technology, the acrylic fibre wastes in any form are converted to PAN polymer which could be easily mixed with the virgin pulverized PAN and introduced in manufacturing process, minimizing the waste generation and reducing the production cost.

Shimi Research Center Private Limited is the only company in the world till date to provide Acrylic Textile Waste Recycling Technology/Expertise. We provide all the necessary technical know-how on ways to remove the colour and recycle the acrylic textile/fibre waste to Polyacrylonitrile, PAN which can be used as the raw material in the Acrylic Fibre manufacturing process. This is process provides a low cost raw material and ensures a competitive edge in the synthetic fibre market.

Why Textile Recycling!
Textile recycling is for both, environmental and economic benefits. It avoids many polluting and energy intensive processes that are used to make textiles from fresh materials. The requirement of landfill space is reduced. Textile waste lead to many problems in landfill. Synthetic fibres don't decompose.
Pressure on fresh resources is extensively reduced. Leads to higher profitability as we use lower cost raw material. As fibres get locally available, they don't have to be transported from abroad thus reducing transportation cost and increasing profit.

Majority of textile waste comes from household sources. Average lifetime of any clothing is deemed to be for about 3 years, after which, they are thrown away as old clothes. Sometimes even 'not so worn garments' are also discarded as they become unfashionable, or undesirable. The conventional approach to reuse the acrylic textile waste is manual separation and production of yarn either in the actual form or blending with other fibres.

Our patented technology uses innovative method to remove colour and impurities from the acrylic textile/fibre waste converting them to PAN polymer, a basic raw material for production of grey acrylic fibre. The process uses an environmental friendly approach to minimize the pollution load and maximize the reagents and acrylic polymer recovery. Textile recovery facilities sort out the overly worn or stained clothing into various categories. Some textiles become wiping cloths and polishing cloths. Cotton can be used for making rags or form a component for new high-quality paper. Knitted or woven woollens etc. are "pulled" into the state of fibre for reuse by the textile industry in low-grade applications, such as for car insulation or seat stuffing. Other kinds of fabric are reprocessed into fibres for upholstery, insulation, and even building material

Product Details:

Acrylic, technically known as Polymethyl methylacrylate, offers a number of outstanding characteristics including optical clarity, transparency, impact and UV stability. The acrylic can be casted, moulded or extruded very easily and provide an attractive replacement for glass. Typical applications include automotive brake lights, medical syringes, sign boards, bathroom fittings, and many more. Acrylic scrap, surplus material, cut-offs, skeletons, damaged inventory are abundantly available for recycling and production of Regenerated Monomer, Regenerated Methylmethacrylate, RMMA, which can be used as raw material for production of acrylic products. Shimi is offering a clean technology for recycling different types of acrylic scraps with high yield and low pollution load. The effective cracking technique followed by novel purification method ensures the minimization of monomer loss and high monomer purity.

Benefits of using recycled acrylic are :

• Light weight material
• High Transperancy
• Good Light Diffuability
• Many kinds of thickness choices

PROCESS:

• The acrylic monomer, MMA can be regenerated from the scrap with the purity of 98% and above using control cracking process and vacuum distillation column. The unique process ensures the reproducible results and purity with low pollution discharge.
