DEVELOPMENT OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL FROM TIRE SCRAPES AND LATEX FOR APPLICATION IN THERMAL INSULATION

Given the unquestionable need of environmental preservation of discarded industrial residues, the scrape of tires, have been seen as a salutary alternative for addictive in concrete, asphalt production and of other composites materials. In this work, grew a composite the base of scrape of tire as reinforcement and latex as matrix, to be used as insulating thermal in "cold" systems (0o C). Analyzed the acting of the material was what plays the thermal conservation when submitted the flow of heat. Verified the temperature profiles in the internal surfaces and it expresses of the composite as well as the temperature gradient in the same. As consequence, in function of the answers of the system, conclusions were reached.
