COMPOSITE MATERIAL BASED ON WASTE RUBBER-PROOFED FABRICS

The article considers a method for processing interstitial waste of rubber-proofed fabrics into a composite material by crushing waste and fastening the resulting crumbs with polymer binders. Formulations have been worked out, samples have been obtained, and tests of physical and mechanical properties have been carried out. It is shown that the change in the size of the crumb, its proportions with the binder affects the characteristics of the samples. The coefficient of variation in thickness ranged from 4 to 20 %, the loss of 0.1 mm of thickness during abrasion ranged from 1,6 to 4,8 thousand cycles, the coefficient of tangential resistance during friction with a metal bar is from 0.51 to 0.60. The obtained materials can be used for the production of anti-slip coatings and other products.
