The main characteristics of wood sculpture


The foundation of wood-plastic composite materials is high-density polyethylene and wood fibers, which determine that they have certain characteristics of plastic and wood.

1) Good processing performance

Wood-plastic composite materials contain plastic and fibers, therefore, they have processing properties similar to wood. They can be sawn, nailed, and planed, and can be completed using woodworking tools. Moreover, their nail grip is significantly better than other synthetic materials. Mechanical properties are superior to wooden materials. The nail holding force is generally 3 times that of wood and 5 times that of particle board.

2) Good strength performance

Wood-plastic composite materials contain plastic, thus having good elastic modulus. In addition, due to the inclusion of fibers and thorough mixing with plastic, it has physical and mechanical properties such as compression resistance and bending resistance comparable to hardwood, and its usability is significantly better than ordinary wood materials. The surface hardness is high, usually 2-5 times that of wood.

3) It has water and corrosion resistance properties and a long service life

Compared with wood, wood plastic materials and their products are resistant to strong acids and alkalis, water, corrosion, and do not breed bacteria, making them less susceptible to insect infestation. Long service life, up to over 50 years.

4) Excellent adjustable performance

Through additives, plastic can undergo changes such as polymerization, foaming, curing, and modification, thereby changing the density, strength, and other characteristics of wood plastic materials. It can also meet special requirements such as aging prevention, electrostatic discharge, and flame retardancy.

5) Has UV light stability and good coloring properties.

6) Its advantage is to turn waste into treasure, which can be decomposed without causing "white pollution", making it a true green product.

7) Wide source of raw materials

The main plastic raw materials for producing wood-plastic composite materials are high-density polyethylene or polypropylene. Wood fibers can be wood powder, rice bran, or wood fibers, and a small amount of additives and other processing aids are also required.

8) It can be made into any shape and size as needed.
