What Is Wood Plastic Composite Used For

Wood-plastic composite materials have both the easy formability of thermoplastics and the secondary processing properties similar to wood, such as cutting, bonding, and coating, and are resistant to insects, aging, low water absorption, and reusable. And other advantages, it should be widely used in various fields.

1. Packaging industry: The most widely used product of wood-plastic composite materials in the world is pallets. The annual consumption of pallets in North America is as high as more than 200 million, and the annual consumption of pallets in Japan is about 6 million. Among them, wood-plastic pallets have accounted for nearly half of the market. The Pallet Professional Committee of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing predicts that in recent years, the average use of wooden pallets in my country will exceed 80 million per year, and wood-plastic pallets will also occupy a certain market share.

2. Railway sleepers: At present, wood-plastic composite railway sleepers do not consume much due to the high cost, but they are very promising. How to further reduce costs has become the key to whether the application can be promoted.

3. Construction industry: Wood-plastic composite materials are mainly used in the construction industry for corridor panels, windows and door panels, concrete cement templates, etc. Among them, corridor panels are the fastest growing. Although this kind of corridor board is more expensive than pressure-treated wood, it does not require much maintenance, is not easy to crack, and has good environmental compatibility.

Building doors and windows are another important application area. WPC profiles are superior to traditional building materials in terms of heat insulation, anti-corrosion, and decoration. PVC is the most commonly used thermoplastic raw material for the production of window components, and other plastics are also used. For example, Certain-teed extrudes the PVC core and the PVC surface filled with wood together. The surface of the product can be painted or dyed; a domestic wood-plastic door and window The wood-plastic doors and windows produced by the enterprise adopt ACR modified PVC and international advanced soft and hard composite plastic extrusion technology. The products fully reflect the advantages of wood and plastic materials.

4. Gardens and courtyards: Gardens and courtyards are mainly used to manufacture outdoor tables and chairs, courtyard handrails and decorative panels, open-air floors, waste bins, etc.

5. Car interior decoration parts: In terms of car interior decoration, the interiors of famous-brand cars such as American "Ford", German "Benz", "Audi", "BMW", Japanese "Toyota", French "Citroen", Swedish "Volvo", etc. The decorative substrates all use wood-plastic composite materials in varying degrees of plumbers. Judging from the car parts and components introduced at the recent International Automobile Expos, the use of wood-plastic composite materials to manufacture car interior trim substrates has become the development trend of such products.
