Technology for producing composite materials based on polymer waste and rubber and basalt rocks

Information is provided about composite materials, their classifications and components. The relevance of using polymer waste and rubber, as well as the volumes of their consumption worldwide and prospects are noted. The main components of the composite material, their characteristics and chemical compositions are described. The technological line for producing composite material (CM) based on polymer waste and rubber (waste from electrical, insulating and packaging materials, household waste, safe medical waste) and basalt rocks (BR) of the Kyzyl-Kiya deposit in the Kyrgyz Republic was considered. One of the installations of the technological line for obtaining finished products, developed and created according to the author's own drawings, is considered in more detail. The results of the experiment to determine the temperature of the mold under different voltages and heating times are displayed. Data on the appropriate voltage when heating mixed CM samples in order to prevent combustion are provided. The characteristics and percentage content of the constituent components in obtaining CM samples, and the indicators of the components of the pressing unit are studied. The dependence of the duration of the melting time of the CM in the mold on the content of basalt rock from a local deposit is shown. The production of finished products in the form of a composite laminate is also described.
