CONFECTION OF ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS FROM EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE (PES) AND CASHEW NUTS (LCC)

Abstract

The present project consisted in promoting the recycling of styrofoam (polystyrene)through its solvent solubilization using natural and technical LCC as stabilizer in order toobserve possible changes in the properties of the samples. It was possible to producematerials such as volumetric containers, sports articles such as rackets and spices ingeneral. It has been found that the LCC technique better stabilizes the resin moldingprocess, making it more manageable during drying, allowing a greater variety of usefulproducts
