Wood
plastic:
Wood
plastic composite (commonly abbreviated as WPC), is a
new group of material which in modern countries is
producing and spreading .
In
production of these composites wide range of polymers
are used like: Polypropylene ,Polyethylene, Polyvinyl
chlorid and Polyester with cellulose filler including
wood powder and fibre ,agricultural waste powder and
fibre and paper waste.
By
relative increasing in plastićs price in last years
,adding natural fibre and fillers for reduction of
production expense in plastic industry and in some cases
increase production amount was considred by plastic
industry.
These
material has some benefit to mineral fillers like ;
clay,talc,lime and artificial fibres like:glass and
carbon .including:
- Low
price
-Low density
-Filling
capability
- Accessibility in all over the world
-
Biodegradability
-Low thermal expansion
coefficient
-
Renewability
-Lack of
rubbing machinery
- Lack of
producing poison material after burning
So , with
coming fibre and cellulose fillers to plastic industry
,wood plastic composite appear which include of wood
fibre or other lingocellulose material as a filler
or reinforcement and termoplast.
WPC
Because of it́́s good specifications has different
applications and the use of it is increasing very fast.
