A detailed explanation of the characteristics of biomass plastic that combines wood powder and plastic!
Are you aware that attention is being drawn to new materials that improve environmental issues? Recently, a completely new plastic material has been developed by combining wood-based materials and plastics, which compensates for the shortcomings of each. 【What is the compatibility of wood powder and plastic?】 When wood powder and plastic are combined, their compatibility can be considered favorable. One of the advantages is that it allows for the use of materials that would otherwise be discarded, thus harmonizing with the environment. The composite material made by combining wood powder and plastic is called Wood Plastic Composite (WPC). WPC is mainly used in automotive interiors, construction materials, and home appliances, and it can be recycled by crushing and melting it back into pellets at the time of disposal. 【Benefits of WPC】 The benefits of biomass plastic using wood powder, which is different from conventional marine plastics, include the following: ■ It is more resistant to dirt compared to wood, has a smooth surface, and experiences less degradation from mold and corrosion...
