What Are The Characteristics Of Wood Plastic Composite Materials?

The basis of wood-plastic composite materials is high-density polyethylene and wood fiber, which determines that it has certain characteristics of plastic and wood.
1) Good processing performance
Wood-plastic composite materials contain plastic and fiber. Therefore, they have similar processing properties to wood. They can be sawed, nailed, and planed using woodworking tools, and their nail-holding strength is significantly better than other synthetic materials. Mechanical properties are better than wood materials. The nail-holding force is generally 3 times that of wood and 5 times that of particleboard.
2) Good strength performance
Wood-plastic composites contain plastic and therefore have a better elastic modulus. In addition, because it contains fibers and is fully mixed with plastic, it has physical and mechanical properties such as compression resistance and bending resistance that are equivalent to those of hardwood, and its durability is significantly better than ordinary wooden materials. The surface hardness is high, generally 2-5 times that of wood.
3) Water-resistant and corrosion-resistant, with long service life
Compared with wood, wood-plastic materials and their products are resistant to strong acid and alkali, water, and corrosion. They do not breed bacteria, are not easily eaten by insects, and do not grow fungi. Long service life, up to more than 50 years.
4) Excellent adjustable performance
Through additives, plastics can be polymerized, foamed, cured, modified, etc., thereby changing the density, strength and other characteristics of wood-plastic materials, and can also meet special requirements such as anti-aging, anti-static, and flame retardant.
5) It has UV light stability and good colorability.
6) Its biggest advantage is that it turns waste into treasure and can be 100% recycled and reproduced. It can be decomposed and will not cause "white pollution". It is a truly green and environmentally friendly product.
7) Raw materials come from a wide range of sources
The plastic raw materials for producing wood-plastic composite materials are mainly high-density polyethylene or polypropylene. The wood fiber can be wood powder, rice bran or wood fiber. A small amount of additives and other processing aids are also required.
8) Can be made into any shape and size as needed.
