✦ Synopsis

Three petroleum-derived secondary bitumens were used as a medium for thermolysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(vinyl chloride), polyethylene and a typical waste plastics mixture (mainly polyolefins). The conversion carried out at 300±350 °C resulted in the formation of homogeneous brittle resin-like masses (ring-and-ball softening point above 120 °C) intended for practical use.
