STUDY OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS BASED ON RECYCLED POLYMERIC RAW MATERIALS
The possibility of using waste plastics to produce wood-filled polymer composites (WPC) was considered. Recycled polymers (LDPE, high density polyethylene and polypropylene) can be used as a binder in composites with softwood pulp fractions 2 mm and 3 mm as a filler was found. It is necessary to have the ratio of the filler and the binder as 1:1 was evaluated. Some mixes which consist of waste products after manufacturing of two or three polymers and certain copolymers are also possible to use as a binder of WPC was determined. The best results will be if using the waste products of PE, PP, PET in a weight ratio of 1: 1: 1 were calculated. The WPC production will help to find ways of rational using as for polymer waste products as for wood waste products. WPC will be able to use for the manufacture of formwork, furniture, packaging, racks, fences, folding designs.
