wood plastics composites (WPC),
Post 1 of 2
The material is wood plastics composites (WPC),a new material recently applied by many companies all over the world progressively and widely, which consists of a mixture of wood fibers from recovered saw dust and waste plastics that include high-density polyethylene, PVC, and others. The material is formed into both solid and hollow profiles.
The WPC is typically more rigid than 100 percent recycled plastic lumber because the wood fibers act as reinforcement. In addition, the plastic encapsulates and binds the wood together to resist moisture penetration and degradation from fungal rot.
Wood-plastic composites is already widespread in outdoor use for decking, cladding, park benches, patio etc. There is also a growing market for indoor uses such as door frames, trim and furniture.

Replying to [Phoenixdo4u]: What do you think of the new material? And do you think it has a large market all over the world? Let's talk about it.
