EFFECTS OF INCORPORATING RECYCLED HDPE TO VIRGIN HDPE AND LDPE TO PRODUCE TUBULAR FILM

摘要

This work presents the effects of incorporating post-consumer and post-industrial recycled HDPE to their virgin counterparts and to LDPE in different contents to produce tubular film for packaging. Tensile, surface and optical properties for each blend were measured A reduction in the HDPEs blends physical properties and an increment in those of the LDPE/recycled HDPE blends were obtained as the recycled HDPE component was increased.
