Granule and its types

A granule is a form of polymer that has changed from a powder state to a granular form. Granules are colorful and small-sized grains that are used in the polymerization industry.
The reason for using granules is the ease of use in production; In fact, the use of polymer in powder form is troublesome because these powders are dispersed in the space and in addition to creating pollution in the workshop environment and breathing problems, a large amount of material is also wasted. It should be noted that the system of polymer forming devices are also designed in such a way that it is better to have its raw materials in the form of granules. For this reason, manufacturers prefer to use granules instead of powder. To produce polymer products from granules, it must first be melted and then shaped.

Types of granules

Based on the crystal structure of raw materials and production methods, different divisions of granules are created.

Styrenes

Styrene granule is one of the sensitive and delicate granule models that is widely used in industries and its value is high.

ABC

ABC granule polymer is a durable and strong granule that has many uses in industries and is of interest to engineers and experts.

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate granule is one of the most widely used granule models, and due to its transparent appearance and ability to transmit light, it is widely used today.
Compared to other granules, this granule is more likely to be damaged due to its sensitivity.

Polypropylene

Propylene is one of the most popular granule models, which is also called textile polypropylene, and is divided into two categories: copolymer and homopolymer.

A very important point in preparing a granule is its high quality and uniformity, so as not to reduce the quality of the product and it does not cause process and quality problems for the consumer, which is always one of the most important concerns of recycling industry activists. There are always concerns among the producers, whether the granule I buy is good in terms of quality and price. As one of the big suppliers of granules and polymer raw materials, LKC company always considers these things and all granule materials supplied by LKC company are prepared from first grade petrochemical powder and are provided to manufacturers.
