Manufacturing rigid board by packaging waste containing aluminum and polyethylene

This study presents feasibility of using recycled low density polyethylene (LDPE) and aluminum of Tetra Pak to manufacture composite rigid board using a hot press. Compounds of LDPE / Al were significantly affected by the effect of compaction pressure during processing, especially in tensile strengt...

Description
Summary:This study presents feasibility of using recycled low density polyethylene (LDPE) and aluminum of Tetra Pak to manufacture composite rigid board using a hot press. Compounds of LDPE / Al were significantly affected by the effect of compaction pressure during processing, especially in tensile strength and water absorption. Composite presents low water absorption, and acceptable tensile strength
