Abstract
The properties of polyurethane containing precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) were studied. The PCC were produced from acetylene gas waste, and its usage as filler material for polymer were explored in this study. Present findings suggested the addition of 5 per hundred gram of PU(phr) significantly increases the shore A hardness to 39.2, in addition to improve the degradation mperature and specific gravity with decrease in water and oil absorptions capacity. The addition of 5 phr PCC to polyurethane improves the material structure and the morphology as calcium carbonate were dispersed when observed using microscopes. This research extends our knowledge of the addition of PCC to strengthen the mechanical and thermal properties of polyurethanes.
