- Abstract
The incorporation of industrial waste in polymeric resin is being increasingly considered to produce artificial stones. This incorporation has advantages, such as the reduction of the amount of waste discarded in nature, and added value to innovative construction material. The present work aims to incorporate the glass waste generated from the industrial lamination stage into epoxy matrix for the production of a novel artificial stone, as to be used in civil construction areas, as an economic and ecological alternative. Firstly, it was specified the granulometric composition of the as-received amount of waste by using the simplex numerical modeling. For the production of specimens, vibration, vacuum and compression processing were used. The stone specimens with 70 wt.% glass waste and 30 wt.% epoxy resin matrix (AS70GW) were subjected to density evaluation, water absorption, flexural testing, abrasive wear Amsler and SEM. The AS70GW developed, presented a flexural strength of 25.4 MPa, which is considered a high strength material. The results of water absorption and apparent porosity were 0.4 and 0.8%, respectively, within the range indicated for coating materials. As such, it is considered a material of small porosity and can be used in low and medium traffic environments, with lower wear to 1.67 mm. The artificial stone AS70GW did not get any stains that could not be removed; in some cases, suitable cleaning products might be used. The results compared with the literature reveal an artificial stone with technical feasibility to be used as a coating in the area of civil construction.
