Plastic Lumber Technology by Cristian Esparza Material Science Dr. Larry Peel September 24, 2008

Manufacturing Process Making High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Product – Material preparation – Grinding into chips – Screw extruder – Melting and Mixing – Molding (finished product)

Application: Railroad Ties More durable than wood More cost effective in long term 15 million wood ties replaced yearly Textured for greater friction Comparable in weight to wooden ties.

Application: Plastic Bridge Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri (1998) First plastic bridge to support vehicle traffic 13,000 lb of recycled plastic Span of 25 ft Supports load of 100 lb/ft2 Cost of $31,000 Replaced wooden bridge

Physical Characteristics Less stiffness and less strength than wood under winter and summer conditions Becomes brittle at low temperatures Becomes soft at high temperatures Less axial strength than natural lumber under compression, flexure, and tension Holds conventional wood fasteners well Comparable weight to wood Density is between 0.64 and 0.68 g/cc
