Abstract

There are few studies on the effects of different sources of PVC scraps generated after the end-of-life PVC products and these scraps are used to prepare PVC products of low quality. In this paper, rigid PVC scraps from different sources such as clothes, pipes, and others were investigated to incorporate into virgin PVC compounds as a part of efforts to recycle various PVC scraps effectively. It was found that the tensile strength and impact strength of the PVC compounds generally decreased with increasing the content of PVC scraps. The impact properties of scrap were in order of CC > PC > RC, tensile strength were PC > CC > RC and Vicat softening temperature shows no specific tendency. CC scraps contents of 50 phr of virgin PVC resin showed 80 %, and PC scrap with 50 phr of virgin resin showed 50% of the mechanical properties with virgin PVC.

수명이 다하거나 용도 폐기에 의해 버려지는 PVC 스크랩은 분쇄 후 저급 제품으로 재생산되는 경우가 대부분이고 발생 원인별 물성에 관한 연구가 적은 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 의복용, 파이프 및 이음관류, 프로파일, 다양한 경질 PVC 등 수명이 다하여 발생되는 폐 PVC 스크랩을 신재 수지에 투입하되 투입되는 스크랩 함량의 변화에 따른 물성을 관찰하였다. PVC 스크랩의 기계적 물성은 스크랩의 함량이 증가함에 따라 인장강도 및 충격강도가 모두 낮아지는 결과를 나타났다. 충격강도는 Cloth insert scrap (CC) > PC (Pipe scrap) > RC (Rigid scrap), 인장강도는 PC > CC > RC, Vicat 연화온도는 경향성이 없음을 나타냈으며, CC 소재는 스크랩 함량이 50 phr일 때 신재 PVC 기계적 물성의 80 %에 이르는 물성을 나타내었고, PC 소재는 스크랩 함량이 50 phr일 때 신재 PVC 인장강도의 50 % 수준임을 알 수 있었다.
