World is trapped and no one clears the reason. No one takes responsibility and there are cross blames being observed on daily news broadcasts. Entire world is struggling for the situation to get to the normal. Markets are suffering in all the sectors, globally. We are majorly concerned here for the construction and infrastructure sector that is the core consumer of building and allied materials. Several simultaneous issues are coming on to the layer for this sector. Managing construction labour is becoming the most sensitive chapter of this Pandemic. For Industries those are labour intensive also suffering with the similar issue.

If we observe from the perspective of wood and allied sector, it is clearly visible that the managing labour and raw material is painful now. This industry needs reasonable number of labour for the overall operations. Starting from the Tree log cutting from forest, passes through handling operations and finally upto material handling – it needs efficient labour force. Moving ahead with the situation, all nations are trying to mobilize the economy by partly opening manufacturing sectors. VW, Germany has started operations, similarly Maruti Suzuki, India has started as well.

Indian Government is trying to mobilize construction sector as well with a major concern of labours moving back to their home towns. Since a month they were forcefully locked in the cities they were working but now gradually state governments are trying to send them to their family at home towns. Now, this situation also is tricky when one side industry and construction is getting operational and labour is being dislocated as well. The overall net effect cannot be positive especially for the labour intensive sectors like wood. Construction needs wood in its basic minimum applications for Shuttering, Doors, Door frames, Windows. All these cases need labour for several manual operations in factories and in Saw mills. Government is trying to operate public sector projects also which can help economy and this will need supply of all these items.

Now, if we compare technologies for wood processing and WPC processing for the small scale factories, WPC has the upper hand. Unlike Wood and allied processing, WPC needs too less labour for overall operations. A few important points that lead WPC over wood are:

Less manufacturing labour

Manufacturing, processing and overall handling for a WPC facility needs less labour. One WPC making line can run with a team of 8 persons, including skilled and unskilled labour.

Raw material availability

Basic raw materials are available within the country from resin manufacturers.

Faster production – Faster deliveries

In compare to wood and allied products, WPC can be produced faster, delivered faster. E.g. 125 Door leafs/Day can be produced out of one standard capacity line of 250 kg/hr, if operated efficiently. Similarly 125 Door frames/Day can be produced out of a standard capacity line running at 100 Kg/hr.

Ready to fix products – no post processing required

WPC products as we know, can be fixed in it’s raw form only because of it’s following characteristics:

1. Pigmented products possible (e.g. WPC Door frames, Decking)
2. Textured products possible (e.g. WPC Decking)
3. Layered products possible (e.g. 3 Layer WPC boards/Doors)
4. Moulded products possible (e.g. Moulded Doors)
5. Custom shaped products possible (e.g. fix size door frames, flooring)

Above characteristics can cover interior and exterior product markets of wood, including High pressure laminates. In case modular furniture, need of backer laminate, inside laminate can be avoided easily. Because of all these WPC products can make construction and furniture projects too fast and feasible.

Opportunity for WPC manufacturers

As described above WPC can be proved as a product of ease for the infrastructure industry in post epidemic markets. It seems to have an equal opportunity for increasing demand of local manufactured products, when there is a sensitivity going on with imported goods in the current situation. Globally, nations are trying their best to survive local economies, they are forced to encourage local manufacturing and local produces. This case also can come as a positive thrust for WPC producers in the country.

This ‘can be’ scenario doesn’t look much impossible and we should pray to bring the global situation to get to the normal with cumulative efforts of countries with positive mind-sets, like India.

PVC is a popular material with different combinations including wood. It forms a composite with celluka foam structure. Carrying a basic density of 1400 kg/cum PVC is the most suitable material for rigid foam profiles including wood. One of such popular profile is Solid WPC PVC Door frame profile.

DENSITY can be defined as a range and not just as a fix figure, technically. It can be well understood while reading this article.

Density of a foamed PVC material has many influences during the entire process of extrusion. The melt that develops inside the extruder barrel because the temperature and friction of screw carries a melt temperature. This melt temperature varies at different zones of extruder. Now this melt is carrying foaming agents and foam modifiers those are actually creating a cell structure. The melt passes from the screw barrel zone carries a certain temperature, then passes through the Die head at a different temperature and then moves out to a calibrator at a different temperature.

All it’s passes impacts the foaming of the material. Now apart from the internal temperatures and speed, external temperature and moisture are also playing the very crucial role on the density formation/cell formation of the material. Formulation of the material remains to be the pre-defined content with all precisely calculated and weighed additives and chemicals. This formulation is being designed to manufacture a specific density range of a solid foamed product. Final material coming out of the Die head and calibration passes through the cooling water for settling the cell structure for perfect physical form. At the end frames are getting stacked for storage and here the final settle down happens under atmospheric temperature. At this stage also several internal movements inside the material happens and gets hold, finally.

During this entire journey of the material the Density profile of the PVC Foam keeps changing at several stages:

• Keeps changing with the melt movement
• Keeps changing with the extrusion screw speed
• Keeps changing because of the motion of the material,
• Keeps changing because of cylinder zone temperatures
• keeps changing because of adapter, flange and die temperatures
• keeps changing because of settling of the outer layer first and semi cured ‘core layer’ yet,
• keeps changing because of water temperature now,
• keeps changing because of atmospheric temperature again,
• keeps changing because of moisture of the atmosphere,
• keeps changing during the final curing and settling down at store.

All in all, the production of foamed PVC itself is a complex mixture of thermal stabilizers, lubricants, processing aids, pigments, fillers added with blowing agents to foam a cellular structure. The ‘type of PVC and the ingredients used’ control the thermal stability, gelation behaviour, powder flow characteristics, melt viscosity and melt strength during the production process. Hence all components of the formulation and process influence the subsequent foam Density

Now logically and technically if this process is understood by technocrats, Density of the entire material cannot be fixed with one fix figure of 750 kg/cum. It cannot be stopped/hold/fixed on this figure of so called 750…and thus moves upto 850 as well and can be 700 as well. As a part of the best manufacturing practice can be defined with 5% +/- density variation is really the best.

Founded in 1997 with the aim of designing and producing ambulances and special vehicles, Orion s.r.l. is constantly engaged in the search for innovative, functional solutions, aimed at improving the standards of safety and quality of its vehicles. To date, Orion has developed and marketed in Italy and abroad about 2,000 special vehicles including ambulances, medical cars, police cars, fire-fighting vehicles, off-road vehicles and Quads. Supplied more than 3000 square metres, the Orion factory serves about 200 vehicles a year. Orion is ISO 9001 certified and has authorization from the Ministry of Transport for the mass production of special vehicles.

Aurera group is branch of the Orion Company that has been producing ambulances for 20 years and has been producing the only Self – Sanitating ambulances in the world for 8 years. The Aurea Group srl deals with proposing the same technology as the Ambulances to be applied to materials such as WPC, PVC, Resin Floors, Fiberglass, Polycarbonate, Polyethylene, and Polyester.

The Pure-Health system consists of coverings and floorings made of PVC, resin and fiberglass. A molecule, Titanium Dioxide, has been inserted into these materials and, thanks to the action of a light, it is able to eliminate over 99% of the viruses, bacteria and mould present in the environment in which it is used. A molecule, nanostructured titanium dioxide, has been inserted into Pure-health PVc, resin and fibreglass. This causes the material to become a photocatalytic surface. This process is patented (patent no. PVc PcT/iT2012/000219 – brevetto resina e vetroresina PcT/iB2011/0579).

They can vaccinate the materials (incorporate the bactericide) in the materials that are activated like a Tree with Chlorophyll Photosynthesis and eliminates Voc, Virus, bacteria on the surface and helps to eliminate pollution. In the case of the WPC, which is already a Green material, when we vaccinate it becomes Green in an active way because it works with Sunlight.

More than 20 years have passed serving to the Indian PVC & WPC Industry, RAJVI has remained unbeatable in its product quality supplies. A family driven company initiated into PVC business before almost 2 decades. They forayed to this grand ocean of products, with a no genuine experience in the subject. RAJVI entered with their first footsteps with PVC profile trading and fabricating of PVC Doors, frames and other allied profiles from rigid PVC. Their hands on experience and most important to say is their ‘confidence in manufacturing’ forced them to foray into WPC boards manufacturing. They simultaneously ventured into PVC Hollow profile manufacturing and WPC Solid sheet manufacturing. They brought co-extruded WPC boards very first time for the Indian domestic markets, where no had thought even.

A man behind this show was Mukesh Donda, an entrepreneur with real zeal for PVC. He was the one setting up machines by himself for all the ventures he has established till date. A hands on experience converted into high level of individual confidence of him, developed a follow teammates from family. Today young generation of RAJVI with business qualifications is desperately and sincerely taking the company forward. Hunger for new development and spending money and time behind it with extensive efforts – is the secret of this team. They have placed unique leadership products in the Indian markets those are first in the time. Today, RAJVI is making WPC boards, WPC Doors, WPC Door frames, WPC moulded doors, WPC printed Doors, WPC coated doors, PVC boards, Rigid PVC thin boards. Apart company is manufacturing PVC profiles including Door, Door frame, Window with printing in their in-house production facilities.

Knowledge is the power for RAJVI and ownership is ranked amongst the top PVC players in the country in WPC segment. Mukesh Donda has served GSPMA (Gujarat state plastic manufacturer’s association) as chair person for South Gujarat region. WPC has been a passion to this company and they are continuously supplying one of the best quality products to the Indian industry today.

It was the year 2011 when India started observing the movements for wood polymer composites. It was the time when the country was understanding the full form of WPC, especially wood sector. There were a few entrepreneurs only, those visualised the potential of WPC products in the country of 1.3 billion population. At one side the Imports of wood and allied products from abroad were pushing precious forex out of the nation and another side self-initiative for forestation was lacking all around. Amongst these entrepreneurs Mr Ankur Hora started leading the nation with today’s popular brand known as ‘ECOSTE’.  

The company started with the production line of WPC panel making as an initiator. Soon company added WPC Door frame production line, followed by 3D PVC panel manufacturing. An exclusive business player in WPC products Ecoste’s efforts for WPC industry is remarkable. WPC NEWS salute them today for their untiring efforts, time spent and expenditures made for creating the micro level awareness of the overall concept in the country. They focused carpenters, architects, builders, interiors, contractors for educating and promoting the subject as the first line. They created a big sales force for reaching to the each and every corner of the country for a wide-spread in-depth awareness of wood polymer composite products. Company used India’s leading exhibition spaces in these many years for creating a mass awareness amongst the country.

With their grand efforts we recognize them in the category of ‘India’s top ranked WPC players’. They developed extensive educative videos explaining WPC product and their applications. Their captive furniture manufacturing facility helped them supplying many turnkey projects from the alma-mater of Ecoste. Their blogs, videos, promotional campaigns, educative seminars and many other efforts have really helped the entire industry in understanding and foraying for WPC products. Today WPC has become an Industry with more than 100 odd players. Mr Ankur Hora and their brainchild Ecoste have been a real contributor to the WPC Industry till date. For more details call Ecoste on +91-9555075075 or email to contact@ecoste.in. Visit www.ecoste.in.

WPC is emerging in the world’s infrastructure market as a multi-material. Indian markets have also started using this product in a serious way. WPC is becoming an amazing and indispensable material for difficult problems like termites and damping.

Since 2011, Hardyplast has been promoting WPC products in markets across India and the world. Today, it has established itself as one of the strongest brands in terms of quality and product portfolio. Being the leading brand engaged in construction projects and government projects in the construction industry, we describe WPC frame as a product of great importance. Today, with the implementation of RERA, the importance and requirement of quality of material has increased in the construction industry and institutions are in search of good material.

Hardyplast WPC frame has become one such popular and proven product name. A complete product line is supplied from the company which covers the doorways of the main door, room door, balcony doors and bathroom toilet doors. Frameworks available in standard (400 density) and premium (1000 density) quality are available according to usage. A total range is available with 65/50, 90/50, 100/50, 100/45, 115/45, 125/45, 160/45 sizes.

The most important issue is that the amount of calcium in the frame should be authentic, which can give the right quality to the frame. Apart from this, the correct density of the product and its ability to hold the screw are also issues of importance.

WPC frameworks save a large amount of natural lump, as they are also of solid structure. Siding frames have been made of natural sling cut from trees and WPC frame is also solid structure and very solid like or more solid. Accordingly, 25 WPC frameworks can save an entire tree. In a 13-storey apartment, it takes about 400-1000 frames and according to that, about 80 standing old trees can be saved. WPC can be 100% recycled even above that and that too about 3 times! This means that once made WPC can save 3 times the tree.

With WPC frameworks, WPC doors are becoming an essential part of the construction industry today. Anti-obstruction and termite proof are its greatest scientific benefits and due to all these strong features, the demand for WPC frameworks is increasing rapidly in the construction industry.
