We will cut the plastic with a thickness of 3 mm and length of 14 to 15 cm. The percentages (water. glass powder. plastic waste) are related to the amount of plaster of the composition concerned. The elaborate compositions are synthesized in this table:

2.3. Tensile strength of fibers The tensile tests of the plastic strapping (PET), are doing in tensile machine test as shown in figure 2.
