ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WPC


WPC is an environmentally friendly wood! Currently widely used, strongly supported by the state, is getting porpular in worldwide Not only can be used as flooring, furniture, interior doors, etc., and some outdoor decorative building materials are also often used, then the application of such a wide range of wood-plastic material which in the end what are some advantages and disadvantages?

The advantages of WPC are:

1, nailing, drilling, planing, sticky, smooth and delicate surfaces without sanding and painting, its good paint adhesion, also painted according to personal preference.

2, the product timber abandoned natural defects such as cracking, warping, color and so on, so no regular maintenance.

3. Product bending characteristics, suitable for a variety of particleboard bar room fitted with decorative materials.

4, the product unique technology to meet the needs of a variety of specifications, size, shape, thickness and the like.

5, the product has a fireproof, waterproof, corrosion-resistant, resistant to moisture, will not be moth-eaten, and excellent performance not long fungi, acid, non-toxic and pollution-free.
