Effect of concentration on some physical properties was examined. Analysis showed that their physicochemical properties such as density, viscosity, refractive index, of the binder formed rises gradually up to 20% concentration above which were sharper rise in values. Gel time fell with concentration whereas turbidity rose and peaks at 20%, before steady decline. Moisture uptake was next to zero. On the whole 20% concentration appears to be optimal concentration. The findings indicate that, depending on need, at different concentration, a cheap binder can be made out of these waste plastic materials.
