Recycled Plastics on Flooring:


One can use recycled plastics in various applications in today's world. It can be mixed with virgin,bitumen and other materials for road applications.Based on the requirements,relative humidity and condition of the road,the recycled plastic materials Polyolefins,pvc,polyolefins,engineering plastics and rubbers can be added.The thickness of the road and performance has to be met with the highways department norms.There have been quite number of roads have been tried on various materials and formulations in many places across the world.This has open the door to the recycled plastics to be filled in this market segment.


Recycled plastic materials are easy to source out for this flooring application and the demand is going to increase many fold when the government forms the regulations on recycled plastics for highways and construction applications.This will improve the quality of the existing road.There are couple of options can be tried out with fully recycled plastics for sport flooring application and with bitumen,the recycled plastics,fibers formulation also works out very well.With recycled rubbers and plastics,there will be a good result expected.These materials formulated when keep in mind of three things ie shocking absorption,slip resistant,long life of the road.


I have seen adding rock fibers with existing bitumen mixture,can increase the life term of the road to a few more years.In a way, we can add glass fibers waste on these applications too.PET bottle scrap,packaging recycled plastic materials do find its role in such applications.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:PLA BOTTLE

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
