It’s Amazing! Where Is Wood Plastic Composite Material Stronger Than Wood?

Wood-plastic composite material, referred to as wood-plastic, is waste plastic recovered from polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc., and sawn timber, straw, rice husk, corn stalk and other agricultural and forestry waste. Extrusion, press-formed sheet or other products, the utilization ratio of waste in raw materials can be as high as 90%, in line with the national energy conservation and environmental protection policy guidance.

Where is the advantage of WPC?

1.Good mechanical properties

Wood-plastic composites contain plastic, so it has a good modulus of elasticity. In addition, due to the inclusion of fibers and thorough mixing with plastics, it has physical and mechanical properties such as compression resistance and bending resistance comparable to hardwood, and its durability is significantly superior to ordinary wood materials. The surface hardness is high, generally 2-4 times that of wood. And the nail holding power is obviously better than other synthetic materials, generally three times that of wood and five times that of particle board. Mechanical properties are superior to wood materials.

2. Excellent adjustable performance

Through the additives, the plastics can undergo polymerization, foaming, solidification, modification, etc., so that the density and strength of the wood-plastic composite materials can be regulated according to different needs. And, through, can also achieve special requirements such as anti-aging, anti-static, and flame retardant.

3. Durable anti-deformation performance

It has excellent ultraviolet light stability and good coloring properties.

4. Antibacterial and antibacterial properties

Compared with wood, wood-plastic materials and their products are resistant to strong acid and alkali, water and corrosion, and do not breed bacteria, and are not susceptible to insects or fungi. Long service life, up to 50 years. Wood-plastic composite materials are more suitable for use in sanitary wares and kitchens, especially for the manufacture of high-end kitchen and bathroom furniture products, and have gradually become a consensus.

5. Reduce weight

The use of foaming technology and hollow structure makes it possible to reduce weight in wood-plastic products. Lightweight and high-strength furniture is more convenient in assembly, transportation and storage, and conforms to the background of the Internet development.
