WPC Boards Properties

WPC BOARDS PROPERTIES

The PVC or wood plastic composite is a new type of composite material that includes wood dust (sawdust) and plastic. A variety of plastics, including HDPE, PVC, PE and others, can be used for the formulation and manufacture of WPC panels. Because recycled wood and recycled plastic can be used to make WPC panels, these are one of the best green products available today. These unique physical and mechanical properties are also very beneficial for end users and WPC sheet manufacturers. Here is a brief description of these aspects

.

Physical properties

Due to their inherent structure and composition (including wood and plastic), WPC panels, floors and roofs, among other products, can retain much less moisture and water. Therefore, due to the low water absorption, WPC panels do not swell easily, even when placed in marine environments. Therefore, they are suitable for interior design projects of bathrooms, kitchens and toilets. The substance can withstand impacts and is flexible and durable.

WPC mechanical properties

Some of the important aspects of the mechanical properties of WPC cards and other products are detailed below.

Shear resistance: approx. 27 MPa

Flexural strength: approx. 40 MPa

Therefore, it can be said that WPC panels have more resistance in many different areas compared to wood. WPC also has good termite resistance and the use of coupling agents during it windows and doors manufacture also allows better bonding with adhesives. Since the material does not absorb water, no cracks form. Today, WPC panels are used on pool decks due to their water absorption capacity, which does not float even in marine environments.

Low modulus of elasticity.

WPC panels have a very low elastic modulus, which can be as low as a tenth of the wood. Therefore, WPC products can take many different forms and offer immense flexibility in their design. This is due to the high plastic content and the inherent build rate of the WPC.

WPC panels have commendable shear strength and moment of inertia as well as a low modulus of elasticity. Therefore, they can be a preferred structural component. As a material, WPC also has non-structural advantages and can be used for floors, terraces and ceilings. The WPC card is a durable solution that can be used indoors and outdoors.
