Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) is a new kind of material that has attracted more and more attention. Generally speaking, WPC represents a wide range of composite materials made from recycled plastic and natural fibrous fillers. This article is mainly talk about“what is the WPC floor.”
Features of WPC
1.Good processing properties Wood-plastic composite material contains plastic and fiber. Therefore, it has the same processing properties as wood. It can be sawed, nailed and planed. It can be made with woodworking tools, and the nail holding power is obviously superior to other synthetic materials. Mechanical properties are superior to wood materials. The nail holding power is generally three times that of wood and five times that of particle board.
2.For its material, what WPC floor is? and how is the features. Good strength properties Wood-plastic composites contain plastic and therefore have good elastic modulus. In addition, due to the inclusion of fibers and thorough mixing with plastics, and its durability is significantly better than ordinary wood materials. The surface hardness is high, generally 2 to 5 times that of wood.
3.Compared with wood, wood-plastic materials and products with long service life, can resist strong acid and alkali, water and corrosion, and do not propagate bacteria, and are not easy to be moth-eaten and grow fungi. Long service life, up to 50 years. What is the WPC floor? Generally speaking is the wood plastic floor.
4.WPC’s excellent adjustable properties can make plastic to be changed such as be polymerized, foamed, cured, modified , which can change the density and strength of wood-plastic materials, and also meet the special requirements of anti-aging, anti-static and flame retardant.
5.It has UV light stability, good coloration. After learning “what is WPC flooring”, let's take a look at the advantages of WPC flooring.
1. Safety and environmental protection
The main and auxiliary materials used in the WPC flooring are made of non-toxic and environmentally friendly materials. Compared with wood flooring and wood composite flooring and laminate flooring, WPC flooring is almost no formaldehyde content which called “zero formaldehyde floor”.
2. Wear Resistance and Fire Resistance
Compared with wood flooring, wood composite flooring and laminate flooring, WPC flooring has super wear resistance and fire resistance.
3. weathering and corrosion resistance
The WPC flooring has excellent mechanical properties, and its durability is much higher than that of wood and wood composite flooring and laminate flooring; it is not easily deformed and very durable. Not easily to be moth eaten , will not be corroded by various corrosive substances, They are also safe to use in harsh outdoor environments.
