PLY REPORTER – September 2014, India.
Q. Evolution of WPC in India?
A. WPC as a product has evolved passionately within last 3 Years. WPC as a panel product is very well accepted by Indian market. Wpc is an official product segment today and there are good manufacturers in the country now. Continue reading “Evolution of WPC & current status in India”
Plastics extrusion is high-volume longitudinal product manufacturing process in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile extrusion produces items such as pipe/tubing, weather stripping, fencing, deck railing, window frames, plastic films and sheeting, thermoplastic coatings and wire insulation.

Q1: Why are you promoting wood-polymer composite (WPC) when wood is nowadays so freely imported from professionally managed and certified suppliers abroad?
A1: Wood plastic composite manufacturing doesn’t need logs or timbers, but this subject is a boon for wood wastes including sawmill dust, plywood sanding dust, bagasse dust, Rice husk, Continue reading “HARDY SMITH talks to WOODNEWS”

Q. What would be the new products at your stall?
A: We shall demonstrate wood polymer composite technology and products (both) during this exhibition. We are going to launch ‘A purchase guide for WPC’ during this exhibition. Continue reading “HARDYPLAST @INDIAWOOD Show”
Researchers at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have developed a kitchen furniture framework material from plastic polymers reinforced with natural fibre.
It is claimed that the new material, a possible alternative to chipboard, reduces raw material consumption by 25–30 per cent and the carbon footprint of production by 35–45 per cent. Continue reading “Researchers develop composite kitchen framework material”
RESINS FOR WPC
Popular polymer resins for WPC are PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), PE (Polyethylene) and PP (Polypropylene). Globally PE and PP based wood polymer composites are widely used. Indian has started with PVC based WPC board manufacturing in last years. Continue reading “Resins & Natural fibers for WPC”
WPC sheets can be used for architectural sculptures and murals. Previously we understood about the application of sheets for heritage design preservations. Moving further towards sculptures and murals architects can create unique formations from WPC boards because of its precision for CNC cutting. WPC boards carry outstanding properties for use if outdoor weather applications as shown in the picture. Continue reading “Scupltures & Murals from WPC Boards”

Wood Plastic Composites (WPCs) are defined as composite materials that contain thermoplastics and wood in various forms. Mostly, either the polymer or the fiber, or both, can come from recycled materials. Because of the limited thermal stability of wood, only plastics that can be processed at temperatures below 392 degrees Fahrenheit are used in WPCs. The average product carries about 50% wood, generally in particulate form, such as wood flour or very short fibers. Continue reading “Wood Plastic Composites to grow well through 2011”
