China has developed metal replacement materials using waste plastic and fly ash

A kind of metal replacement material made of waste plastic and fly ash was recently successfully developed by the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and passed the results appraisal. According to the appraisal report, this achievement has "the international advanced level."
Changchun Yinghua Institute conducted in-depth research on a variety of waste plastics and fly ash with different proportioning, compatibilization, plasticization, etc., and developed metal substitute materials that resist pressure, resist bending, and resist without adding any skeletons. The impact strength and other comprehensive properties are good and can completely replace metal products. At present, urban water supply and drainage covers, wall distribution boxes and other products have been put on the market, and are well received by users.
