Title

Application of recycled industrial polyolefins in pail design using FEM

Author(s)

Abstract

This paper presents the application of recycled industrial HDPE and PP and their blends with virgin resins in pail design using finite element analysis. Results predict that these blends can be used in pails for the packaging of non food grade materials such as paints, oil and grease.
