The production of our WPC typically uses a fine wood waste (cellulose based fiber fillers such as Bamboo, hardwood, softwood, plywood, peanut hulls, straw, etc.) mixed with various plastics (PP, PE, PVC). The powder is extruded to a doughlike consistency and then extruded to the desired shape. Additives such as colorants, coupling agents, stabilizers, blowing agents, reinforcing agents, foaming agents, lubricants help tailor the end product to the target area of application. With up to 70 percent cellulose content, wood-plastic composites behave like wood using conventional woodworking tools. At the same time, they are extremely moisture-resistant. There is little or no water present, thus increasing resistance to rot. Wood-plastic composites are already widespread in outdoor use for flooring, decking, fencing, park benches, etc.
Life time of WPC outdoor flooring: over 30 years. |
