What is wood plastic composite (WPC) product?
Wood plastic composite (WPC) product is one kind of thermoplastic composite materials of wood and plastic. It refers to the use of thermoplastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride, adding a certain proportion of production additives, and mixing with more than 50% of waste plant fibers such as wood powder, bamboo powder, rice husk or straw powder, to foam a new composite raw material for production of profiles by different plastic processing techniques such as extrusion, molding or injection molding. WPC is also called plastic wood, ecological wood, environmentally friendly wood, and recycled wood, etc.
Because the WPC products are based on plastic resin materials and wood fibers, it determines that they have the characteristics of plastic and wood, such as UV resistance, good coloring performance, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, insect resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and insulation , It can be sawed, planed and nailed, and the material products are easy to process and not easy to deform. In addition, the WPC has good woodiness feeling surface after being sanded, embossed or brushed.
Experimental data shows that the mechanical properties of wood plastic composite products are generally better than wood, and it can be 100% recycled and reproduced. It is a brand-new green product. With the continuous popularization of wood plastic composite knowledge and the continuous improvement of technological level, the wood plastic composite (WPC) materials have been used widely in the daily life and industrial fields to replace wood, plastic and other products, such as packaging materials, building materials, furniture, logistics and other industries. The WPC products cover building exterior walls, outdoor decks, indoor floors, garden landscapes profiles, composite pipes, transportation pallets, automobile interior decoration, railway sleepers and other fields, etc.
At present, the wood plastic composite WPC can be divided into polyethylene wood plastic (PE WPC), polyvinyl chloride wood plastic (PVC WPC), polypropylene wood plastic (PP WPC) and polystyrene wood plastic (PS WPC) according to different resin raw materials. According to the different fiber materials used, it is generally divided into wood plastic products and bamboo plastic products. With the development of formulation technology, It is possible to use many other filing materials in the WPC production, for example, bagasse, coconut shell and fly ash, etc.
WPC products is an effective solution for reuse the waste wood and plastic, and improve the environmental quality.
