An anti-aging plastic scraper is formulated and manufactured to resist the degrading effects of long-term environmental exposure, ensuring its mechanical properties and structural integrity remain intact for decades. The primary aging factors in a wastewater treatment environment are ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight (for open tanks), oxidation, and continuous exposure to moisture and chemicals. Standard plastics can become brittle and fade when exposed to these elements. Anti-aging scrapers are produced using base polymers that are inherently stable or are compounded with specific additives. These include UV stabilizers, which absorb or screen out UV radiation to prevent chain scission within the polymer, and antioxidants, which inhibit oxidative degradation. This careful material engineering prevents the common issues of embrittlement, cracking, loss of impact strength, and discoloration over time. As a result, the scraper maintains its toughness, flexibility, and wear resistance throughout its exceptionally long service life, even in open-air clarifiers. This reliability is crucial for infrastructure that is expected to operate for 20+ years with minimal intervention. Our commitment to quality includes the use of these anti-aging formulations in our plastics, guaranteeing that our scrapers will perform as intended year after year, regardless of exposure to the elements. This provides a permanent solution and maximizes the return on investment. For information on the specific anti-aging technologies we use, please do not hesitate to contact us.
