Abstract:

Has successfully created an optimum composite of rPP/DVB/PP-AA/comBen+ZB based on the mechanical and fuel resistance properties. The starting material recycled PP (rPP), PP modified acrylic acid (AA) as coupling agent (PP-AA), crosslinker divinylbenzene (DVB), 20 phr of commercial bentonite (comBen) and 5 phr of zinc borate (ZB), was reactivelly processed in xylene. Composites analysis using XRD presented that the bentonite had been exfoliated inside of PP matrix. Test results showed that both of tensile strength (TS) and young's modulus (YM) of rPP/DVB/PP-AA/comBen+ZB composites following ASTM D638 was increased. The testing results of burning rate (BR) of composite rPP/DVB/PP-AA/comBen+ZB according to ASTM D635 decreased. The presence of bentonite as a natural fire retardant and ZB as fire retardant additive on composite rPP/DVB/PP-AA/comBen+ZB able to increase mechanical properties and also improving the flammability resistance.
