Advantages of WPC

The main features of WPC can be summarized as: durable, long life, has a similar appearance of wood, high hardness than plastic; has excellent physical properties, better stability than the timber size, will not crack, warp, no wood knots twill, adding a coloring agent, coating or composite surface can be made colorful variety of products; with thermoplastic processing, easy molding, plastics processing equipment typically used after the transformation can be done with little or molding, machining equipment the new investment less easy application; a similar secondary wood processing, cutting, bonding, with nails or bolts to connect fixed, painted, product specifications require the user to adjust according to the shape, flexibility; afraid of insects borers, anti-aging, corrosion resistance, low water absorption, moisture will not deform; can be reused and recycled, environmentally friendly; low maintenance costs. WPC is a drawback: the toughness is lower than the parent plastics processing equipment, downstream equipment, molds are required to be adjusted accordingly and transformation. With the strengthening of environmental awareness, requiring protection of forest resources, reducing the use of new wood increased demand, low-cost recycling of waste wood and plastic industry and become an issue of common concern to the scientific community. In this case, the WPC came into being, it also increased the wood-plastic composites (WPC) research and development efforts, and has made substantial progress, and its applications are also accelerating the development trend .
