Plastics Waste Processor (PWP) Anti-Stick Coatings
Plastics Waste Processors melt plastics and other materials in order to compress them into smaller structures that may be more easily stored aboard vessels with limited space. Plastics and other materials become tacky during the melting process and can adhere to the PWP during compression, making the sanitary disk more difficult to remove from the machine. McLube® has developed several water-based anti-stick coatings (also called parting compounds) which will facilitate disk removal from the chamber and improve the overall efficiency of onboard waste management. Our products have also been used to prevent fouling of blenders during food waste processing.
Plastics Waste Processors (PWPs) compress and melt ship-generated plastic waste into sanitary disks suitable for long-term storage aboard naval vessels and larger, commercial ships. PWPs are used for clean plastic waste, food-containing waste, and other ship waste that cannot be processed in the normal solid waste stream. PWPs are used by the United States Navy, other national navies, and large commercial shipping fleets to achieve compliance with the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78). McLube has worked with the United States Navy to develop anti-stick/ parting compounds specifically for plastic waste processors aboard vessels.
