PROPERTIES OF THE WATERPROOFING MATERIAL MADE FROM RECYCLED POLYSTYRENE

Tóm tắt

This paper studies the use of recycled polystyrene, an industrial and domestic waste, to produce the waterproofing material. The components of this material consist of recycled polystyrene, cement, sand, rice hush ash, and sodium silicate, which are popular materials in Vietnam. The properties of waterproofing material are investigated including surface drying time, completed drying time, adhesion, heat resistance and water permeability. Test results indicate that this material satisfies all requirements of waterproofing material stipulated by Vietnam standard.
