Capabilities and Certifications

Return Polymers continues to work at the top of the field, incorporating new capabilities and certifications to our processes to bring the highest quality products to our clients.

Upgraded UL Certification

In August of 2018, Return Polymers, Inc. pursued and received an upgraded and ongoing UL Certification. Products with a Yellow Card designation meet stringent specifications by undergoing extensive material testing. This process ensures that designers, engineers, and processors can save time and money by accessing verified materials and components from reputable manufacturers.

Titanium Dioxide Certification

In response to industry need, we went to work to develop a Titanium Dioxide certification service for our customers. The level of Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) in a PVC compound is an indicator of the anticipated weatherability performance of the product in windows, siding, fence or other exterior applications. The proprietary test method for detection of TiO₂ allows Return Polymers to eliminate the need for very expensive tests such as X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). Customers are now benefiting by choosing to purchase this service and eliminate the uncertainty of recycle sources. As we developed the certification process:

• All white sources were tested in accordance with the proven method
• All samples were then validated using a double blind study and XRF
• The correlation was in excess of r² greater than 0.992
