Addition of rubber particles of 30% to 100% by weight to cement with a grain size of approximately 40 to 60 mesh (0.4 to 0.25 mm) will produce a lightweight cement. The addition of rubber particles also creates a low permeability. The compositions are advantageous for cementing zones subjected to extreme dynamic stresses such as perforation zones and the junctions of branches in a multi-sidetrack well. Recycled, expanded polystyrene lowers the density of a hydraulic cement formulation and is an environmentally friendly solution for downcycling waste materials. [Pg.138]

Expanded polystyrene is currently used as a popular packing or insulating material in various industrial fields in the world. A large quantity of expanded polystyrene is consumed, and is disposed as a waste. Effective recycling countermeasures against the waste expanded polystyrene are strongly requested [1]. [Pg.141]

In addition to recycling, there is considerable reuse of expanded polystyrene loose fill. The Plastic Loose Fill Council operates a toll-free Peanut Hotline to provide information to consumers about where to take EPS loosefill for reuse. This information is also... [Pg.534]

One of the leaders in EPS recycling in the United States is FR International, which began PS recycling in 1990. The company recycled 10.9 million pounds of expanded polystyrene in 2000 but only 8.5 million pounds in 2002, the latest figures available. The company has five manufacturing operations in the United States, and also has several facilities in Europe. It also manufactures looseflll EPS cushioning from recycled EPS. ... [Pg.535]

Types of plastic resins suitable for recycling include ABS, expanded polystyrene (EPS), HDPE, high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), PET, PP, PS and PVC. However, one of the problems currently being addressed in the move to extend plastics recycling is the requirement for a process to extract brominated flame retardants from waste plastics in order to leave an acceptable level in the plastics destined to be recycled. This is because the ban on the use of certain brominated flame retardants in new appliances will mean that plastic recyclates containing them cannot be used by the electronics sector, other applications will have to be found.

Polystyrene (PS) is an important fraction of post-consumer plastic waste. PS and expanded polystyrene (EPS) are extensively used in packaging, hence PS recycling is important. The processing stability of EPS packaging material is shown in Fig. 12. Addition of a sterically hindered phenol, Irganox 245, to compacted EPS allows to maintain the average molecular weight of the polymer at a level sufficient for EPS-processes [16,17]. [Pg.82]

Styrenics. A large percentage of expanded polystyrene, EPS, is being recycled. Also laminated trays of EPS, with such a barrier polymer as ethylene vinyl alcohol, EVAl, are re-granulated and re-extruded with virgin PS at least 20 times. The re-extrusion generated PS VAc/EVAl blends that, after foaming, produced articles with excellent mechanical properties [23]. [Pg.344]

In addition, the recycled expanded polystyrene and TiOi were mixed via the solution method [67] the transmission electron microscopy images indicated that the nanocomposites had an average particle size of 6-12 nm. The nanocomposite samples had greater polymer stability and higher discoloration efficiency for aqueous methylene blue solutions, due to the incorporation of TiOi nanoparticles. [Pg.39]

To show the kind of effects that are observed due to degradation, the following example shows the results of a study using Method lA on recycled expanded polystyrene. This method is typically used for foam cups and packaging. [Pg.38]

Expanded polystyrene products have widely increased the market for polystyrene resin (see the section on polystyrene foams in Chapter 1 of Plastics Fabrication and Recycling). With as light a weight as 2 Ib/ft (0.032 g/cm ), the thermal conductivity of expanded polystyrene is very low, and its cushioning value is high. It is an ideal insulation and packaging material. Common applications include ice buckets, water coolers, wall panels, and general thermal insulation applications. [Pg.48]
