Plaster added with plastic cable waste as a new traditional sustainable material

The objective of this work is to analyze the possibilities of reusing plastic waste of cables added in a plaster matrix. Firstly, the experimental process has allowed the physicochemical characterization of the raw material, plaster and plastic waste, consisting in elemental analysis, XRD and the...

description The objective of this work is to analyze the possibilities of reusing plastic waste of cables added in a plaster matrix. Firstly, the experimental process has allowed the physicochemical characterization of the raw material, plaster and plastic waste, consisting in elemental analysis, XRD and thermogravimetric analysis; Secondly, the performance of physicomechanical tests of the mixtures, Shore C hardness, absorption and resistance to flexion and compression. During the investigation, the water/plaster ratio of 0.8 was maintained, as well as the grain size of the plastic waste as it comes from the recycling factory (maximum 3 mm). On the contrary, the amount of added plastic waste has oscillated up to incorporate 50%, 60% and 70% over the weight of the plaster. In comparison to a reference sample, the obtained compounds are characterized by having a higher Shore C hardness, a lower absorption by capillarity and a decrease in their values of mechanical resistance. The addition of plastic waste to a plaster matrix can be considered as a possibility to obtain compounds of greater sustainability to be used in the field of sustainable construction.
