The basis of wood plastic composite materials is high-density polyethylene and wood fibers, which determine that they have certain characteristics of plastic and wood.
1) Good processing performance Wood plastic composite materials contain plastic and fibers, therefore, they have processing properties similar to wood, can be sawed, nailed, and planed, can be completed using woodworking tools, and have significantly better nail holding force than other synthetic materials. Mechanical properties are superior to wooden materials. The nail holding force is generally three times that of wood and five times that of particleboard.
2) Good strength performance Wood plastic composite materials contain plastic and therefore have a good elastic modulus. In addition, due to the inclusion of fibers and thorough mixing with plastic, it has physical and mechanical properties such as compressive strength and bending resistance comparable to hardwood, and its durability is significantly better than ordinary wood materials. The surface hardness is high, generally 2-5 times that of wood.
3) Has water resistance, corrosion resistance, and long service life Compared with wood, wood plastic materials and their products are resistant to strong acids and alkalis, water and corrosion, and do not breed bacteria, are less susceptible to insect infestation, and do not grow fungi. Long service life, up to 50 years or more.
4) Excellent adjustable performance Through additives, plastics can undergo polymerization, foaming, curing, modification and other changes, thus changing the density, strength and other characteristics of wood plastic materials, and also meeting the special requirements of anti-aging, anti-static, flame retardant and so on.
5) Has UV light stability and good coloring properties.
6) Its biggest advantage is turning waste into treasure, and it can be 100% recycled and reproduced. It can be decomposed and will not cause "white pollution", making it a truly green and environmentally friendly product.
7) Wide range of raw material sources The plastic raw materials for producing wood plastic composite materials are mainly high-density polyethylene or polypropylene, and the wood fibers can be wood powder, bran, or wood fibers. In addition, a small amount of additives and other processing aids are required.
8) It can be made into any shape and size as needed.
