Abstract
Laminates made of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and sands were irradiated by ultraviolet light (UV) under normal atmospheric conditions. Three different types of sand (mine, beach and river) were utilized at various concentrations levels. The effect of the sands upon flexural mechanical properties of the laminates with varying irradiation times was analyzed. It is shown that degradation induces a decrese in mechanical properties of PVC laminates but this may be prevented by adding mine sand at specific volume concentration.
