EXPECTED OUTCOME

The results to be obtained during the conduct of this study are expected to align with the

general and specific objectives.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE EXPECTED OUTCOME

To develop a method of recycling waste PET This study will be able to produce an

bottles to be used for the production of enhanced PET thermoplastic resin from

protective and insulating thermal surface recycled plastic PET bottles via physical and

coatings for metallic pipes with high chemical recycling with the help of the

efficiency. fabricated and customized laboratory-scale

extruder machine, which will be applied as a

protective coating for metallic substrates such

as steel pipes, and evaluate it corrosion

protective and thermal insulation properties.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES EXPECTED OUTCOMES

1. To design and fabricate a At the end of this conduct, the researchers

laboratory-scale extruder device to be will be able design, fabricate, and customize

used in this study an extruder machine on a laboratory scale

with lower expenses.

2. To determine the impact of silica on The addition of fumed silica in the main

the efficiency of the protective coating component of the final product will alter and

enhance its properties in terms of rigidity,

glossiness, moisture barrier, and other

properties.

3. To determine the thermal resistance This study is expected to obtain a result

and corrosion protective properties of wherein the enhanced rPET coating applied in

the coating the metallic substrate will have an excellent

rating in terms of thermal insulation

(quantitative analysis) and corrosion

protective property (qualitative analysis).

4. To determine the correlation between The final product obtained at the conduct of

the finished thermo-resin product and this study is expected to obtain a more

the commercially available satisfactory rating compared to the

commercially available coating in terms of

thermal insulation and corrosion protective

property.
