COMPOSITION OF COCONUT FIBER MIXED POLYOLEFINS FOR REPLACMENT OF NATURAL WOOD

摘要

Composition of the coconut fiber mixed polyolefins to replace natural wood. The selection of components that includes coconut fiber mixed with thermoplastic. The invention used thermoplastic polymer family. The elements of artificial wood that showed coconut fiber was 60-70 percent that the length of the coconut fibers was in the range of 2-3 millimeters to make it look like real wood as natural as possible. And to reduce costs. Use less plastic it also increases the physical and mechanical properties, like as natural wood. The chemical additives are required. The lubrication at 3.9-5.0 percent. The reinforcement at 1.0-3.9 percent and the two types antioxidant at 0.05 percent. Forming process by melting the mixture at 170-185 degrees Celsius, depending on the mixing and forming equipment in each category. The artificial wood have shows mechanical strength and appearance like as natural wood.
