Description
Summary:The main purpose of this research is to determine the more specific nature of the physical and mechanical properties of a mixture of silica sand and polypropylene material (rPP) recycling in producing composite tile. In this study, rPP is the main ingredient in the binding details of silica through a process of melting and compression using hot press method. There are five weight percent of the composition rPP in producing composite tiles of 30%, 50%, 70%, 90% and 100% and particle size of the silica sand is the fine. After determine the mechanical and physical properties each composition, the results get the composition with better combination in flexural strength, tension, hardness and fire resistant is Sample CT70 which the matrix is 70% and the filler is 30%.
