Wood Plastic Composite Boards are new types of environmentally friendly materials composed of wood powder, wood fibers, or other plant fibers combined with plastic and other polymer materials through a special process. Wood Plastic Composite Boards are materials that combine the beautiful appearance of natural wood with the durability and processability of plastic. Their main features include being environmentally friendly, durable, easy to process, and low maintenance. They are widely used in outdoor flooring, wall panels, fences, garden landscapes, and more.
The Raw Materials of Wood Plastic Composite Boards
Wood Fiber
Wood Plastic Composite Boards derive their wood fibers from waste wood, sawdust, rice husks, palm shells, and other plant fibers. These materials become one of the main raw materials after being crushed and dried.
Plastic Matrix
The primary plastics used include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Sometimes biodegradable plastics are also used to enhance the environmental performance of the product.
Additives
Depending on the application, Wood Plastic Composite Boards production may include additives such as antioxidants, UV inhibitors, lubricants, colorants, and flame retardants to improve its performance and appearance.
The Characteristics of Wood Plastic Composite Boards
Environmental Friendliness
Wood Plastic Composite Boards mainly use raw materials from waste wood or plant fibers, reducing the consumption of forest resources through recycling and reuse. The plastic materials used can also be recycled, meeting environmental requirements.
Durability
Wood Plastic Composite Boards possess excellent weather resistance and anti-aging properties, capable of withstanding UV rays, winds, rain, and moisture for a long time without rotting, deforming, or cracking, making them particularly suitable for outdoor use.
Waterproof and Corrosion Resistance
Wood Plastic Composite Boards feature strong waterproof and corrosion-resistant capabilities due to their plastic matrix, making them moisture-resistant and termite-proof, which allow for long-term use in humid environments.
Low Maintenance
Wood Plastic Composite Board has a smooth and flat surface, making it resistant to dust and dirt accumulation. It does not require frequent oiling or painting, reducing maintenance costs.
High Plasticity
Wood Plastic Composite Boards can be molded into different shapes through various processes to meet diverse design needs. It can also be sawed, drilled, and nailed, ensuring convenient construction.
The Advantages of Wood Plastic Composite Boards
Imitation Wood Effect
Wood Plastic Composite Boards can achieve textures and colors similar to natural wood through fine surface processing, retaining the natural beauty of wood while possessing the high performance of modern materials.
Variety of Colors
Besides imitation wood grain, Wood Plastic Composite Boards can be produced in various colors by adding different color masterbatches to meet different design and aesthetic requirements.
Safety
Wood Plastic Composite Board does not contain harmful chemicals during production and does not release formaldehyde or other harmful gases during use, complying with the environmental and health standards of modern building materials.
Fire Resistance
Some Wood Plastic Composite Board products undergo special flame retardant treatments that enhance their fire resistance, making them less likely to ignite when exposed to an open flame, thus ensuring high safety.
