WPC

Polyethylene wax in WPC

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, environmental friendliness, tactile sensations, natural appearance and aroma of wood on the one hand, on the other – strength and resistance to aggressive environmental influences.

The use of polyethylene waxes in wood-polymer compositions 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.

In addition, polyethylene waxes during the manufacture of products from wood-polymer composites by extrusion perform an important function of internal and external lubrication, 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 WPC

• Increasing the thermal stability of products;
• Surface hydrophobicity;
• Increased strength;
• The appearance of the finished product is attractive;
• Reduction of energy consumption during the extrusion process.

We recommend the brands of polyethylene wax Plastowax E 12P (50P), Plastowax E 12G (50G), Plastowax E 15P/G (200TD) for the production of products made of wood-polymer composites.
