Using Waste Nylon as the Main Ingredient

This study intends to solve problems associated with most conventional paver stones. Thus, the use of nylon in the production of paver stones is an attempt towards adequate management of nylon wastes and consequently a pertinent panacea to the problems identified above. Furthermore, In a bid to produce high-quality paver stone for construction, nylon paver was identified as most concrete block paving constructed usually performed satisfactorily although, it has some areas of concern which include occasional failure due to excessive surface wear, high moisture absorption, easy breakage, pose a health risk and variability in the strength of stone. This study therefore uses waste nylons collected from gutters, dumpsites, and public places as the main ingredient in the production of paver stone without cement.
