How to get good wood plastic composites or composite decking

Wood plastic composite decking(WPC decking), is a kind of popular decking specially applied in outdoor in recent years, since WPC is a kind of new material, and the cost is lower than the anti-corrosive wood decking, the properties of maintenance-free, water-resistant,acid and corrosion resistant, insects resistant and easy to install, enable the increasing usage of WPC decking. However, the price in market is varying and also varying in quality, the service life of different quality will be vary from a few months to 10 years, resulting in customers do not know how to choose. Here Daisy will tell you how to choose the good one by most intuitive and easiest way.

The competition in WPC industry is getting fiercely. In order to conclude the deal, many factories take low-cost marketing methods. In the production cost and labor costs substantially equilibrium conditions, lower raw material costs has become their only way. And the main raw material is wood powder and PE plastic:

Wood powder: Granularity is a key determinant to determine the price, finer the wood powder, the better quality. But the greater mesh wood powder, the higher price ( that is finer wood powder, need longer grinding time, slower to sieve the powder of course dear price ).

PE plastics : Ragular and responsible manufacturers generally use good quality and stable PE plastic particles; the price of PE plastic particles is stable in recent years, so it’s do little impact on decking cost. Some manufacturers pursuit the cheap price bindly to import foreign plastic garbage to reduce costs. But imported recycled plastic components uniform, which will cause the decline of physical properties of WPC decking, bring up water absorption, and poor weather resistance, which tends to lead to breakage, twist and other issues, will directly affect the product service life span. Though the raw material is invisible, Daisy here will teach you how to judge the quality by observation the products appearance.

Observe the groove side of WPC decking :

Good quality WPC decking groove side is smooth, with shiny gloss, a clear oily feeling, no any cracks ( see picture1) .

Poor quality one groove side is rough, with dark gloss, no oily feeling, some will emerge cracks due to the poor elongation of PE plastic( see the upper one in picture1 ) .

Picture1

Observe the obverse side:

Good quality WPC decking obverse side is smooth, with shiny gloss, the wood powder is fine and even ( See picture2 right one) .

Poor quality WPC decking obverse side is rough, with dark gloss, wood powder particles are rough and unevenly ( See picture 2 left one ) .

Picture2

Observe the section :

Good quality WPC decking’s section texture is tight, with shiny gloss, the wood powder is fine and even ( See picture3 ).

Poor quality WPC decking’s section texture is loose, with dim luster, wood powder particles are rough and unevenly and the wood fiber is apparent( See picture3) .

Tips:

• You get what you pay for!
• Please cherish the supplier who will not pursuit the low-cost blindly, because they are insisting the quality !
• There are many cases of buying poor quality WPC decking, crack and twist within 6months after the installation, so do not bargain go too far. After all, it is concerning personnel safety ! ! !

Advantages of WPC composite material compared with real wood material

Although WPC material is a little expensive than real wood , but with manufacturers to find more efficient processing methods, its relatively cost is gradually decrease. The use of recycled plastics material in the composite products can further reduce costs. Even in the face of the current cost structure, many consumers are still willing to accept the high price, because of the advantages of these composites.

Because of the natural attribute of real wood flooring, it will easily deform and mildew under the influence of water.  And it’s hard to maintain after it get rot or deform.  So there are two ways to avoid this situation, one is to replace the ruined flooring with high cost, another one is to buy WPC flooring because WPC flooring have many properties that no need to worried about that:

1. Eco-friendly: Material is 100% recycled( Wood powder and high polymer resign). There is no need to make antiseptic treatment, no harm to human and environment;
2. No need routine maintenance, long service life than real wood, it does not absorb moisture, waterproof, anti-corrosion, pest control, no cracking, no deformation, it’s not insensitive to cold and thermal environment;
3. Polyolefin-based WPC material have great mechanical properties, can widely used as bearing structure material;
4. Polyolefin-based 95% raw material of WPC material is 100% recyclable, so the cost can be lower, while the products also can be 100% recycled ;

So, to choose WPC flooring is a wise choice that no need to concern about mildew and deformation etc. And the maintenance is very easy:just dry the floor with the cleaner.

Explanation of WPC indoor flooring

Indoor decoration is very important section of our home improvements, various kinds of indoor flooring is flooded in the market, but most of them are need glue or made up of plywood which contain the terrible health killer—the formaldehyde. To elude the risk, we should choose the flooring carefully, to take not only health into consideration, but also take environmental into consideration. So, that’s why we recommend LeadWPC indoor flooring to you, because LeadWPC do make it, and take it seriously for our customers, follow Daisy to see, why to choose LeadWPC indoor flooring:

About our WPC indoor flooring, there are four layers, from top to bottom are:

1. Invisiblewear and UV resistant layer on the top,
2. Printed layer.
3. PVC substrate(Middle layer, Bottom layer)
4. WPC layer( Poplar wood powder,high molecule plastic,addictives)

Why we are better?

Firstly,For the compound of bottom layer,some of suppliers use calcium plastic to reduce the cost,calcium plastic is is very easy to brittle fracture when heavy furniture put on it. Other supplier do not make the bottom layer(Please see attached photo below),of course this kind of flooring is very cheap,but it very easy to warp and twist,its life span is not as long as WPC’s.

Our WPC layer is made up of wood power(To increases tenacity,not easy to crack and twist),polyolefin resins and addictives.Its merits are as below:

• Absence of crack, twist, warping and deformation.
• 100% free of formaldehyde and heavy metal elements.
• Mildew, termite and mold resistant.
• Feel naturally like real wood and more durable
• Better barefoot sense.

Secondly, For the density of bottom WPC layer, our density for WPC indoor flooring is 0.85g/cm3(can be up to 0.9g/cm3), some of suppliers just make the density to 0.5-0.6g/cm3, you know, lower density lower cost,but poor quality. And higher density, better moisture-proof performance.

The introduction of ecological integrated WPC house

This time LeadWPC will promoting a new product, yes, you can learn it from the title, that is ecological integrated WPC house. So Daisy will make a introduction for you.

1.What is integrated WPC house?

Integrated Housing ( also known as mobile homes or reusable assembling house) was born in the late 50s of last century. The main concept of integrated WPC house is: WPC house a building model assembled by prefabricated walls, roof, etc. in the factory, processing in accordance with the requirements of the design, with the light steel structure for the framework of the house, which can be quickly assembled into a complete set of house.

Integrated Ecological WPC houses integrated the advantages of the movable house like assembling fast, the labor and time-saving and strong adaptability etc.. And also integrated WPC merits of fireproof, corrosion resistant, waterproof, light in weight, high intensity, zero pollution, more comfortable, weather resistant etc. , which is a significant portion of the reform of integrated house.

2.The investment prospects of WPC Eco villa in resorts

Therefore, it will be a bright and prospects market relying on the resources in the scenic spots to develop ecological WPC integrated houses. And it’s worthy to invest by this high feasibility and high investment returns business, after all, a new type of investment.

The development history of wood plastic composites material

Wood plastic composites, arisen from 1990s North American, but greatly developed in China. It’s has a long way over the past two decades, you must be interested in how WPC material developed. Today, Daisy from LeadWPC will make some introduction of the development history of WPC material.

In early 20th century, the first attempt to combine wood powder with phenolic resin blend experiments was Dr. Leo H Bend, This was the first WPC material come out, and widely applied to practical life as building material. When the content of wood powder increases, the performance of wood-plastic composite material turned out to be poor, it’s mainly because of the compatibility between the wood fibers and plastic were bad. Therefore, the main objective on the followed-up study on the improvement of compatibility of wood fiber and plastic. In 1960s, Mayer for the first time using a coupling agent in the processing of wood-plastic composites molding . Since 1980 , To find suitable coupling agent for WPC composite material gradually become a hot topic.

Today, The main focus on research to wood-plastic composite material forming process attached  to improve the strength and toughness of the composite material, pretreatment to wood flour, improve the heat resistance of WPC material and enhance the recycling of waste plastics etc..

LeadWPC VS. EARLY-GENERATION COMPOSITE.

Throughout the development of Wood-plastic composite material, WPC products witnessed the gradual maturity technology of WPC material:

The first generation: Crude wood fiber, the first generation of WPC material due to technical immaturity, the fiber used very rough, the appearance looks rough.

The second generation: Fine wood fibers, based on the first generation, the processing technology is more mature, the second generation has improved in its appearance.

Third Generation: Based on the second generation of the WPC material, people aim to enhance the physical and chemical properties of the composite material, the life span of the comp[osite  material is greatly improved than before.

The fourth generation: The latest generation of full co-extrusion coated decking, its surface is coated with sarin resin, or ABS engineering plastics completely coated the third-generation common core layer, so that the service life of co-extrusion decking can reach up to 25 years.

Whereas LeadWPC is the fourth generation, the following pictures can show you what difference between LeadWPC and cheap product on the market:

The first generation of outdoor decking:

• Degradation, powderization

• Mildewed

• Crack and color fading
