Wood plastic composite (WPC) is a new kind of material, which attracts more and more attention. In the most general sense, the acronym WPC represents a wide range of composite materials made from pure or recycled plastics and natural fiber fillers. So let's take a look at exactly what a WPC flooring is.
What are the features of WPC flooring?
1. Good workability wood-plastic composites contain plastics and fibers, therefore, they have similar workability as wood, which can be sawn, nailed, planed, and finished with woodworking tools, and the grip nail force is superior to other synthetic materials. Mechanical properties are superior to wood materials. Grip nail force is generally 3 times the wood, particleboard is 5 times.
2. For its materials, then what is WPC flooring, and what can be reflected. Good strength properties of wood-plastic composites containing plastic, and therefore has a good elastic modulus. In addition, due to containing fiber and fully mixed with plastic, its durability is significantly superior to ordinary wood materials. Surface hardness is high, generally 2 ~ 5 times of wood.
3. It is water-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Compared with wood, it can resist strong acid and alkali, water-resistant and corrosion-resistant. It does not breed bacteria and is not easy to be eaten by insects and fungi. Long service life, up to more than 50 years.
4. Excellent adjustable performance through additives, plastics can be polymerized, foamed, cured, modified and other changes, thus changing the density, strength, and other properties of wood-plastic materials, can also achieve anti-aging, anti-static, flame retardant, and other special requirements.
5. It has UV light stability and good coloration.
