Abstract The hydrophilic nature of wood-plastic composites (WPCs) is a disadvantage that impacts its performance in applications
for construction and building products. Therefore, developing the WPCs into composites that reduce water absorption needs
further evaluation. The current work investigates the efects of diferent water types (distilled water, and water from the
Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea), latex sludge types, and immersion time on the physical and mechanical properties
of rubberwood-latex sludge four-reinforced polypropylene composites. The composite samples were produced by a twinscrew extruder (mixing) and a compression molding machine (forming). The results revealed that the composites exposed
to diferent water conditions for a long period resulted in signifcant (α=0.05) reduction in the modulus of rupture, modulus
of elasticity, screw withdraw strength, and hardness with maximum percentage reduction values of 79.9, 117.5, 69.9, and
5.84, respectively. However, adding the latex sludge at 25 wt% resisted deterioration. The composites immersed in Andaman
Sea water exhibited the least water absorption and deterioration for all the mechanical properties with a minimum hardness
loss (3.74%). The composites immersed in distilled water showed the maximum deterioration for all mechanical properties,
with 117.5% loss in modulus of elasticity. Overall, adding the latex sludge four to the composites made them resistant to
mechanical properties deterioration, which is favorable for WPCs used in environments involving contact with the seawater,
especially the Andaman Sea.
