Wood- polymer composites
olyethylene wax in Wood- polymer composites
Wood-polymer composite is a modern material in construction, which includes wood flour, polymers and modifiers. WPC products combine the advantages of wood and polymer, namely - on the one hand environmental friendliness, tactile sensations, natural appearance and aroma of wood, on the other – strength and resistance to aggressive environmental influences.
The use of polyethylene wax in wood-polymer composites is due to the improvement of the quality and mechanical characteristics of the final product. The changes relate to the most significant properties. First of all, it is worth noting the thermal stability, hydrophobicity of the surface, strength, plasticity, attractive appearance due to the appearance of a glossy effect.
Moreover, polyethylene waxes during the manufacture of products from wood-polymer composites by extrusion perform an important function of internal and external lubricating substance, which has a positive effect on energy consumption during the extrusion process, and also reduces the number of problematic issues related to the machining of melts of WPC polymers.
The main advantages of using polyethylene wax in wood-polymer composites:
- Increasing the thermal stability of products;
- Surface hydrophobicity;
- Increased strength;
- Attractive appearance of the finished product;
- Reduction of energy consumption in the extrusion process.
The types of polyethylene wax, such as Plastowax 50P, Plastowax 50G, Plastowax 200TD, are recommended for the production of products made of wood-polymer composites. We send free samples.
