Development of processing technology for polymer waste of JSC “Beltsvetmet”

Abstract

The article describes the composition, structure, performance and technological characteristics of polymer wastes resulting from cutting of batteries on JSC “Beltsvetmet”. Such wastes can be divided into two types that are encouraged to use as a polymer matrix and a filler, respectively, during polymer composites production. It was revealed that the samples of composite materials based on wastes compared to primary raw materials have a high e nough performance (tensile strength, elongation at break, bending strength, tensile and bending module of elasticity, impact strength, density, shrinkage, water absorption). Such composites can be used for the manufacture of product s for technical purposes which do not impose stringent requirements. Offered materials can be processed by standard methods on an ordinary equipment. The mode of obtaining products from polymeric composites by injection molding method is also matched in the paper. The products that can come from the materials are proposed. Making of composite materials from polymer wastes allows to the enterprise to get an additional profit and reduce the degree of influence on environment.
