What are the Characteristics of WPC Material?

As a WPC Material Manufacturer, share with you.

WPC is a new type of composite material that has flourished at home and abroad in recent years. It refers to the use of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride to replace the usual resin adhesives, and more than 50% of waste plant fibers such as wood flour, rice husk, and straw. It is mixed into new wood materials, and then subjected to plastic processing techniques such as extrusion, molding, injection molding, etc., to produce plates or profiles. Mainly used in building materials, furniture, logistics packaging and other industries. A board that is formed by hot extrusion after mixing plastic and wood powder in a certain proportion is called an extruded wood-plastic composite board.

Main feature

The basis of wood-plastic composite material is high-density polyethylene and wood fiber, which determines that it has certain characteristics of plastic and wood.

1) Good processing performance

Wood-plastic composites contain plastics and fibers, so they have similar processing properties to wood. They can be sawed, nailed, and planed, and can be completed with woodworking tools. The nail-holding power is significantly better than other synthetic materials. The mechanical properties are better than wood materials. The nail holding force is generally 3 times that of wood and 5 times that of particleboard.

2) Good strength performance

The wood-plastic composite material contains plastic, so it has a good elastic modulus. In addition, because it contains fiber and is fully mixed with plastic, it has physical and mechanical properties such as compression resistance and bending resistance equivalent to hardwood, and its durability is significantly better than ordinary wood materials. The surface hardness is high, generally 2 to 5 times that of wood.

3) It has water resistance, corrosion resistance and long service life

Compared with wood, wood-plastic materials and their products are resistant to strong acids and alkalis, water and corrosion, and do not multiply bacteria, are not easy to be eaten by insects, and do not grow fungi. The service life is long, up to more than 50 years.

4) Excellent adjustable performance

Through additives, plastics can undergo polymerization, foaming, curing, modification and other changes, thereby changing the density and strength of wood-plastic materials, and can also meet special requirements such as anti-aging, anti-static, and flame retardant.

5) It has ultraviolet light stability and good colorability

6) Its greatest advantage is to turn waste into treasure, and it can be 100% recycled and reproduced. It can be decomposed and will not cause "white pollution". It is a truly green product.

7) Wide sources of raw materials

The plastic raw materials for the production of wood-plastic composites are mainly high-density polyethylene or polypropylene. The wood fiber can be wood flour, rice bran or wood fiber. In addition, a small amount of additives and other processing aids are required.

8) It can be made into any shape and size according to needs
