With the awareness of environmental protection, wood-plastic composite panels came into being

Wood is a renewable composite material composed of cellulose, lignin and other organic materials. It is the industrial material with the best environmental coordination and plays an important role in the national economy. However, wood has the disadvantages of perishable, flammable, susceptible to insects, easy to absorb moisture and cause large size deformation, which limits the processing and application of wood to a certain extent.

Wood-plastic composite (WPC) is a new type of composite material that has flourished at home and abroad in recent years. After impregnating wood with polymerizable monomers, prepolymers or a mixture of the two, the impregnation components are made under external energy. A class of polymer (plastic) modified wood obtained by polymerization curing in wood voids. This material maintains the original texture and color of the wood, and the properties of hardness, compressive strength and wear resistance are greatly improved, eliminating many of the inherent disadvantages of wood, resulting in efficient use of wood and low quality wood. The transformation has created a new picture, mainly used in building materials, furniture, logistics and packaging industries.
