    Chemical Polymer Separation (PLA, ABS, HIPS, and PETG)

    I'll be working with the solution for about forty five minutes, but probably only once a week. Surfactants sound like a good idea, are there any that would be the best to try? I don't have access to as large of a stock as I would like, so it would have to be special ordered. I don't anticipate...

    Chemical Polymer Separation (PLA, ABS, HIPS, and PETG)

    Good day all! I've got a granular mixture of PLA, ABS, HIPS, and PETG with a particle size of about a quarter inch, and I'm trying to isolate each polymer from the mix. PLA and PETG have densities of about 1.27g/ml, and ABS and HIPS have densities of around 1.06g/ml. I think a weighted solution...
