A method for producing a polypropylene blend from a plastic packaging
materials containing high molecular weight polypropylene, other high
molecular weight polymers such as polyethylene, low molecular weight
polymers and other contaminants. The method includes extraction,
solid-liquid separation and liquid-liquid phase separation using various
organic solvents. The polypropylene blend has a purity of 95% and has
favorable melt flow characteristics, while retaining satisfactory
mechanical properties.
