Abstract

Abstract A thermoplastic polymer concrete block constructed of contaminated thermoplastic resin scrap, previously considered unusable and unrecyclable, and fill material produced by mixing the thermoplastic resin scrap and fill material, heating the mixed thermoplastic resin scrap and fill materials and placing them in molds having a desired shape, wherein they cool and set into the desired product.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
A polymer structure comprising a mixture of precontaminated otherwise unusable, unrecyclable, thermoplastic, offal, scrap plastic, resins and fillers therefor having the approximate composition of 25% ABS, 25% sand, 25% low density polyethylene and 25% high density polyethylene by weight, which polymer structure results from heating the resins, mixing the fillers therein and allowing the mixture to cool in a mold form.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 61 words
A polymer structure comprising a mixture of precontaminated otherwise unusable, unrecyclable, thermoplastic, offal, scrap plastic, resins and fillers therefor having the approximate composition of 25% ABS, 25% sand, 25% low density polyethylene and 25% high density polyethylene by weight, which polymer structure results from heating the resins, mixing the fillers therein and allowing the mixture to cool in a mold form.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 53 words
A polymer structure comprising a mixture of precontaminated thermoplastic resins and fillers therefor having the approximate composition of 25% ABS, 25% sand, 25% low density polyethylene and 25% high density polyethylene by weight, resulting from heating the precontaminated resins, mixing the fillers therein, and allowing the mixture to cool in a mold form.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 53 words
A polymer structure comprising a mixture of precontaminated thermoplastic resins and fillers therefor having the approximate composition of 25% ABS, 25% sand, 25% low density polyethylene and 25% high density polyethylene by weight, resulting from heating the precontaminated resins, mixing the fillers therein, and allowing the mixture to cool in a mold form.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 47 words
A polymer structure comprising a mixture of precontaminated thermoplastic resins and fillers therefor having the approximate composition of 33% ABS, 33% sand, and 33% polyethylene by weight, resulting from heating the precontaminated resins, mixing the fillers therein, and allowing the mixture to cool in a mold form.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 47 words
A polymer structure comprising a mixture of precontaminated thermoplastic resins and fillers therefor having the approximate composition of 33% ABS, 33% sand, and 33% polyethylene by weight, resulting from heating the precontaminated resins, mixing the fillers therein, and allowing the mixture to cool in a mold form.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 55 words
A polymer structure comprising a mixture of precontaminated thermoplastic resins, which are other wise unusable, unrecyclable scrap plastics and fillers therefor having the approximate composition of 33% ABS, 33% sand, and 33% polyethylene by weight, resulting from heating the precontaminated resins, mixing the fillers therein, and allowing the mixture to cool in a mold form.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 55 words
A polymer structure comprising a mixture of precontaminated thermoplastic resins, which are other wise unusable, unrecyclable scrap plastics and fillers therefor having the approximate composition of 33% ABS, 33% sand, and 33% polyethylene by weight, resulting from heating the precontaminated resins, mixing the fillers therein, and allowing the mixture to cool in a mold form.
