What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Wood-plastic Composite Materials?

The main advantages of wood-plastic composite materials are as follows:

　　A. Socioeconomic and sustainable development, especially suitable for my country's national policy of "protecting forests";

　　B. Durable, long life, similar to wood appearance, higher hardness than plastic;

　　C. Has excellent physical properties, better dimensional stability than wood, will not produce cracks, warpage, no wood knots, twill, adding colorants, coating or composite surface layer can be made into a variety of colorful products;

　　D. It has the processability of thermoplastics and is easy to mold. It can be processed by general plastic processing equipment or after a little modification. New investment in processing equipment is low, which is convenient for promotion and application;

　　E. There is secondary processing like wood, which can be cut, bonded, fixed with nails or bolts;

　　F. Facilitates upholstery and decoration, can be painted and beautified, product specifications and shapes can be adjusted according to user requirements, flexibility is large;

　　G, not afraid of worms, aging resistance, corrosion resistance, low water absorption, no moisture absorption and deformation; h, can be reused and recycled, biodegradable, and protect the environment;

　　I. Conducive to environmental protection, waste wood chips, crop fibers and waste plastics can be used as materials;

　　J. Rich in resources, low cost, and low cost of use.

The current shortcomings and deficiencies of wood-plastic composite materials are:

The toughness is lower than the parent plastic, and the processing equipment and downstream devices need to be adjusted and modified accordingly.
