Introduction: Recycled PVC and regrind can play a real role in window profile extrusion, but source consistency, particle size, and stabilizer balance decide whether the line runs smoothly. The idea sounds simple: collect the offcuts and rejects from a window profile line, grind them down, blend them with virgin compound, and extrude again. A window profile is a tight-tolerance product, though, and wall thickness, surface finish, and weld strength all trace back to what goes into the extruder. Regrind carries a different history from virgin resin. It has already been heated, sheared, and cooled once, and it arrives in batches whose particle size, bulk density, and remaining stabilizer may not match the compound it is blended into. this guide walks through what actually changes when recycled PVC or regrind joins a window profile formulation, and why source control, sizing, stabilizer balance, and appearance checks matter more than a simple substitution ratio. Why Regrind Is Not Just a...
