Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are engineered by combining wood fiber/wood flour with thermoplastics such as PE, PP, PVC, or PLA. These composites offer high bending and shear strength, low moisture absorption, UV resistance, and superior durability, making them ideal for windows, railings, fencing, exterior decking, flooring, landscape materials, and interior molding.

WPC production leverages both virgin and recycled thermoplastics, with polyethylene being the most commonly used polymer. Additives like UV stabilizers, coupling agents, foaming agents, and lubricants enhance performance and longevity.
