Abstract
A method of contacting petroleum-derived plastic materials with a lipid composition comprising fatty acid moieties, and an optional filler, to produce an agglomerate or a composite of the agglomerate, as well as an apparatus for carrying out the method and extruding the agglomerate or composite with a specific form or shape.
Claims21
A method, comprising contacting a plurality of petroleum-derived materials with a lipid composition comprising fatty acid moieties to produce an agglomerate, wherein from about 9 wt % to about 40 wt % of the fatty acid moieties are saturated, and wherein at least about 0.5 wt % of the fatty acid moieties are monounsaturated.
A method, comprising:
- (a) contacting a plurality of petroleum-derived materials that comprise plastic in the form of a seal, wire or cable jacket, floor covering, filter, vehicle part, or any combination thereof with a lipid composition comprising fatty acid moieties, wherein from about 9 wt % to about 40 wt % of the fatty acid moieties are saturated, and wherein at least about 0.5 wt % of the fatty acid moieties are monounsaturated, wherein at least 5 wt % of the petroleum-derived materials are not melted;
- and
- (b) combining the mixture resulting from step (a) with a composition comprising plastic packaging to produce an agglomerate.
