- Flexural strength: determined according to indications of the UNE-EN 12859 standard [40]. It consists of determining the maximum breaking load that plasterboards subjected to a three-point pure bending test are able to withstand. Plates with dimensions of 40 × 30 × 1.5 cm3 are placed 35 ± 1 cm apart on the rollers of the PÁCAM model MPX-22 press, after which a load is applied in the centre of the span until the piece breaks. A total of three specimens were tested for each type of gypsum material studied. It should be noted that the plates were sanded on their surface to obtain a constant average thickness of 1.5 cm for all composites.
- Surface hardness: determined with the aid of a Shore C durometer according to UNE 102042:2023 [41] recommendations. This property reflects the material’s resistance to scratching on its surface. For this purpose, a total of ten measurements were taken per plate, with each measurement spaced at least two centimetres apart and between the measurement and the edges of the plate.
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM): This test was carried out to determine the microstructural behaviour of the analysed composites. For this purpose, a Jeol JSM-820 microscope (Jeol, Croissy-sur-Seine, France) operating at 20 kV, equipped with Oxford EDX analysis, was used. The fragments analysed were extracted from the interior of the samples without modifying their surface texture. Using a Cressington 108 metalliser (Cressington, Watford, UK), the test samples were coated with a thin layer of gold foil to ensure good conductivity to the electron beam generated by the equipment.
- Bulk density: physical property determined according to UNE 102042:2023 [41], using 24 × 24 × 2 cm3 plates and a 0.01 g precision balance. A total of three samples of each gypsum type included in this study were tested.
- Thermal conductivity: obtained using a mini Hot-Box (DEC-FCTUC, Coimbra, Portugal), equipped with thermocouples connected to a computer to record the data [32]. The test was carried out using 24 × 24 × 2 cm3 gypsum plates, placed on one side of the Hot-Box in such a way that the heat flow migrated from the inside to the outside; the thermal conductivity was measured 24 h once the steady state was reached, and, finally, the Fourier equation was applied (1):
- Water vapour permeability: determined according to the recommendations of the UNE-EN ISO 12572 standard [42]. For this purpose, circular samples with a diameter of 10 cm and a thickness of 1.0 ± 0.1 cm were used. These samples were placed covering a recipient containing a saline solution inside and sealed with silicone. As mentioned above, the recipient contained a saturated solution of potassium nitrate (KNO3) in water. Thus, for a period of eight weeks, the samples were weighed weekly in order to relate the mass variation to the water passing through the gypsum compound under study in the form of vapour. Thus, the water vapour permeability was determined by the expression (2):

4. Conclusions
- No excessive decrease in surface hardness is observed when incorporating LDPE waste in gypsum composites. The maximum reduction is 8.5% for G0.7-15% composite.
- The maximum flexural ultimate load is progressively reduced as the original plaster material is replaced by recycled LDPE. This is due to the weakening of the original composite matrix as it is replaced by the waste. For the samples without Kraft paper, the strength was reduced by up to 32%. However, with the adhesion of Kraft paper, the strength of the G0.7-15% composite resisted up to a maximum load of 0.57 kN, which is three times higher than the minimum value set by the standard at 0.18 kN.
- SEM analysis evidenced a perfect integration and distribution of the LDPE residue in the gypsum matrix.
- The replacement of the original gypsum material by LDPE residue allows for a reduction in the final density of the composites in hardened state.
- The thermal conductivity of the reference material (G0.7) was reduced by 21% for the sample with the highest recycled plastic content.
- Water vapour permeability was reduced because of the incorporation of LDPE waste in the gypsum matrix. This decrease was up to 37.5% for the G0.7-15% composite compared to the G0.7 sample of traditional mortar.
- The simulations performed with THERM tool show the goodness of gypsum composites with LDPE waste incorporation to increase the thermal resistance in LSF wall facades.
