Porosity, and Mechanical Properties of GeoDeck before the Problem had Emerged

Density, Porosity and Mechanical Properties of Geodeck before the Problem had Emerged 

Porosity of composite materials is important because oxygen in the air diffuses through pores within the board that effectively increases the surface area of contact between oxygen and the plastic. That is why pure plastic (containing almost no 

For GeoDeck material, the highest density that can be achieved (by maximum compaction of the material, such as by compressive molding) is 1.24 g/cml Theoretical calculations, taking into account specific gravity of plastic, the fillers and the additives also give the density value of 1.24 g/cm for the shaped GeoDeck composite. 

02 g/cm. In September of 2002 it was found that some boards (made in August of 

Overall, average densities of GeoDeck boards in June-December 2002 are listed in Table 15.34.
