Appl. No.:

11/943848

Inventors:

James P. Przybylinski - St. Helena CA, US
Douglas Mancosh - Warwick RI, US
David E. Murdock - Dublin OH, US

International Classification:

E04B 1/16
C08J 11/04

US Classification:

264 31, 521 40

Abstract:

An extruded composite utilized as a building material includes a base polymer, unseparated processed recycled carpet waste, and a filler material, which may be a wood filler or other natural fiber. The recycled carpet waste may be used to decrease the amount of both base polymer and wood filler to achieve an equivalent product at lower cost. The extruded composite may also utilize chemical foaming agents to reduce density. Both foamed and non-foamed composites may be capstocked.

International Classification:

B32B 5/02
B32B 27/00
B32B 38/10

US Classification:

4283004, 156344

Abstract:

An extruded composite utilized as a building material includes a base polymer, unseparated processed recycled carpet waste, and a filler material, which may be a wood filler or other natural fiber. Carpet waste may be separated into components that may be utilized in a variety of plastics applications, including extruded composites utilized as building materials. Separation may include shaving face fiber from bound fiber secured in a backing fiber and/or may include separating fiber pile and backing fibers from carpet adhesive to remove inorganic materials such as calcium carbonate.

Abstract:

An extruded composite adapted for use as a building material includes a core having a base polymer and a natural fiber in a substantially homogeneous mixture and an ionomer capstock. To improve adherence of the ionomer to a base polymer, the ionomer can be mixed with a similar or substantially similar base polymer prior to coextrusion with the core. Additionally, various additives may be mixed with the capstock material to improve visual aesthetics of the product and performance of the building material, especially over time.

US Classification:

521 68, 524 12, 524430, 524425, 524427, 524 13, 524 14

Abstract:

A composite building material includes carpet waste having carpet fibers and adhesive, and an inorganic filler that includes fly ash. The composite building material may be produced by providing the carpet waste, mixing the carpet waste with the inorganic filler to produce a homogeneous blend, and forming the homogeneous blend into the composite building material. The composite building material may optionally include a base polymer, slack wax, and/or calcium carbonate.

Abstract:

An extruded composite adapted for use as a building material includes a core having a base polymer and a filler material in a substantially homogeneous mixture and a polymeric capstock modified with an elastomer and/or a plastomer. To improve adherence of the polymeric capstock to the base polymer, the capstock can include a capstock polymer that is similar or substantially similar the base polymer. Additionally, various additives may be mixed with the capstock material to improve visual aesthetics of the product and performance of the building material, especially over time.
