HDPE monofilaments were photostabilized with hindered amine l ight s tabi l izers (HALS) and UV absorbers at varying stabilizer concentrations. The filaments were assessed for UV resistance by exposure to simulated outdoor weathering conditions in artificial weathering apparatus and testing the exposed samples at regular intervals for retained tensile properties. Films of HDPE of varying thickn...

The aim of this research is to develop environmentally friendly, lightweight composites using egg shell, as filler in some thermoplastic polymer matrices Polypropylene (PP), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) and Polystyrene (PS) polymer; determine the mechanical properties shell-residue composite, find if there any new improvement over starting morphology e...

AkzoNobel’s range of organic peroxides for the crosslinking of elastomers and thermoplastics is the world’s largest, including a number of organic peroxides for the production of PEX-a pipes and tubes. Our products are marketed under the well-known trademark of Trigonox. When producing PE pipes and tubes, frequently high density polyethylene (HDPE) is used. To further improve the product proper...

Hybridization, especially where only variant natural lignocelluloses are combined, is fast receiving encouraging attention because it offers a range of properties that may be difficult to obtain with a single kind of reinforcement. In this study, tensile, flexural, and impact properties of hybridized kenaf/PALF-reinforced HDPE composite were studied. Sheets from which tensile, flexural, and imp...

To achieve value-added utilizations of plantation timbers, eucalyptus veneer/high-density polyethylene film composites were prepared, with process-factors (PF) (hot-pressing temperature, HT; hot-pressing duration, HD; hot-pressing pressure, HP; HDPE-film content, HC) and composite-properties (CP) (water-resistant bonding-strength, BS; modulus of rupture, MOR; modulus of elasticity, MOE) investi...
