The invention discloses a method for recycling a waste TPO
skin material, and relates to the technical field of
material recycling. The method comprises the following steps of sorting, clearing and removing impurities from scrapped workpieces containing TPO
skin materials, crushing the scrapped workpieces into material blocks, pouring the material blocks into a stirrer, adding a swelling agent
aqueous solution, heating, stirring, degumming, and separating to obtain TPO material blocks; and cleaning and
drying the TPO material blocks, putting the TPO material blocks into a high-speed mixer, adding an extracting agent, stirring, feeding into a double-screw extruder through a forced feeding
machine, extruding, defoaming, granulating, cooling,
drying and dicing. The method solves the problem of resource waste caused by landfill treatment of the scrapped workpieces containing the waste TPO
skin materials in the prior art, and recovered TPO particles can be used as a
toughening agent of modified PP or soft products with low
flexural modulus requirements, such as automobile wheel covers and fenders.
