Wood Plastic WPC

Plastic Wood (WPC - Wood Plastic Composite) is a synthetic material, made up of wood flour and plastic. In addition to resins and wood pulp, WPC may also contain a number of cellulose-based or inorganic fillers. Therefore, WPC can also be called natural fiber plastic composite material or natural fiber reinforced plastic.

WPC has many applications in the market, especially as a raw material. Wood plastic is the most widely used in the outdoor works like field outdoor flooring, in addition, the application can do railings, outdoor fences, decorative wood, screens, park benches, door and window frames, … or can do interior and exterior wooden furniture. Manufacturers claim wood plastic more environmentally friendly, and Less maintenance costs other treated solid woods. In addition to cracking and cracking, these treated solid woods are also subject to termites and rapid rotting due to the humid environment outside.

Wood Plastic is still a very new material compared to the long history of natural wood in the application of building materials, but it can replace wood in most cases not bearing (non-structural).

Wood plastic is formed from wood, (such as sawdust, pulp fiber, peanut shell, bamboo, rice husk, ..) and plastic (HDPE, PVC, PP, ABS, PS, can be used). Wood plastic powder is evenly planted, uniform, then extruded or pressed into the required shapes. Additives such as colorants, coupling agents, stabilizers, enhancers, emulsifiers, etc. will help the final product. suitable for many application directions.

A major advantage of Plastic Wood over wood is the ability of the material to be shaped into virtually any required spatial shape. It Easy to bend, and fixed to form large curves. Due to the combination in the manufacturing process, wood plastic has the same properties as wood: can be machined with traditional carpentry tools. At the same time, Wood Plastic has the same properties as plastic: the ability moisture-proof, and anti-rot, although not as strong as regular wood, and may deform slightly in extremely hot weather.

The main advantage of plastic wood products is that building outdoor structures to replace natural wood, no paint needed because the product can be produced in a wide range of colors, but mainly gray and ocher tones. Another advantage is that it is environmentally friendly, take advantage of non-reusable wood resources in the production of wooden products, when natural wood resources are increasingly scarce.
