Wood Plastic Composite Products

Project Description

Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber or wood flour and polymers(thermoplastics). These composites  belong to a great  family of  composites  named as natural fiber/ polymer composites. 

The main base polymers(thermoplastics)that applied in this type of composites are polyethylene(PE), polypropylene(PP),polyvinyl chloride(PVC), and etc.

 Alvar Plast Sepahan received to the knowledge and technology  of manufacturing of the WPCs by research and engineering in 2003 in ISTT(Isfahan Science and Technology Town) and then begun to manufacture machinery and technical elements for production WPCs Granules and  WPCs Extruded Profiles.

Wood-Plastic Composite Adventages

  • Replacement for tropical wood through domestic low value wood(while maintaining wood like appearance)

  • Lower resin content than pure plastics,so lower fossil CO2  impact

  • Little waste from processing

  • Can be swam, cut and screwed like wood materials

  • Better stiffness than plastics

  • Better weather resistance and dimensional stability than solid wood

  • Lifetime longer solid wood

  • Recycling possible within the process

  • Reduced maintenence

Application

  • Urban furniture, like benches, pergolas, bus stations, flowerboxes, pavilions and etc.

  • Wall panels and  Decks for buildings and ports

  • Window and door profiles

  • WPCs roof tiles

Wood-plastic composites are produced in three sizes
