Abstract

The abrasion of materials based on blends of ABS plastic with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as well as terraced boards based on wood-polymer composites (DPC) has been studied. The measurements were carried out on a drum-type machine, and on a Taber's abrasimeter. For blends of ABS plastic with PVC at abrasion path length 600 m wear is 0.85%. For terracotta boards based on WPC, the wear during the test (loss of mass) was 0.0042 g. The abrasion of the sample was 9.29×10-5 g/cm2. Thus, the obtained blends should be recommended for application for floor coverings, since they possess negligible abrasion.

Highlights

  • The purpose of the paper is to consider the important operational characteristics of terraced boards made of wood-polymer composites (WPC) – wear resistance

  • In work [7] the course of calculation is shown and the received resource of work of a floor covering from WPC

  • The abrasion test of the Taber's abrasimeter was carried out in order to evaluate the abrasion resistance of coatings made from materials prepared from mixtures of secondary ABS plastic with polyvinyl chloride

Summary

Introduction

The purpose of the paper is to consider the important operational characteristics of terraced boards made of wood-polymer composites (WPC) – wear resistance (abrasive resistance). The concept of wear resistance, the dependence of this indicator on a number of factors and methods for determining this characteristic should be considered in more detail. The abradability of A(m) is estimated by the loss of the initial mass of the sample of the material referred to the surface area of abrasion F, and is calculated by the formula: A(m)= (m1 – m2)/F, (1)
