Abstract:

In this paper, the selected properties of lightweight composites based on the different kinds of binder and recycled waste plastics aggregate were studied. Plastic waste e.g. foamed polystyrene, polypropylene, polyurethane foam or ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) as an aggregate in these composites was used. Cement CEM II B/S 32.5 R and an organic-based adhesive with the business name Conipur 360 were used as a binder. The cement composites consisted of constant water to cement ratio 0.50 and dose of cement 175 kg/m3. Mixtures of adhesive composites were prepared with constant dose of adhesive 100 kg/m3. The kind of recycled waste aggregate was only changed. The physical properties, such as bulk density, compressive strength and thermo-technical properties were verified. The application of organic-based adhesive resulted in a significant decreasing values of the bulk density (100 kg/m3 - 230 kg/m3) and the thermal conductivity coefficient (0.0511 W/m.K - 0.0686 W/m.K) of lightweight composites. The negative impact of this type of binder resulted to a decreasing value of the compressive strength (0.15 MPa - 0.32 MPa). Use of cement binder caused to an increasing of bulk density (290 kg/m3 - 375 kg/m3) and worsening of the thermal conductivity coefficient of these composites (0.0660 W/m.K - 0.0799 W/m.K). The compressive strength values of cement composites ranged from 0.24 MPa to 0.50 MPa.
