Abstract
Three petroleum-derived secondary bitumens were used as a medium for thermo lysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(vinyl chloride), polyethylene a nd a typical waste plastics mixture (mainly polyolefins). The conversion ca rried out at 300-350 degrees C resulted in the formation of homogeneous bri ttle resin-like masses (ring-and-ball softening point above 120 degrees C) intended for practical use.
