1. PVC wood-plastic products can be made of new materials or old materials (while PE products with new materials are too expensive to enter the market), modification is easier, and the quantity of supplements depends on the quality of production;
2. PVC can be made into wood-plastic products with low foaming, so the cost is lower. It is considered that the suitable co-extrusion form (double-material multi-material co-extrusion or steel-plastic co-extrusion) can be used, and the strength and wood grain feel are good.
3. PVC can be used to process various surface decorations or coatings covering UV paint, the product looks good and the color fastness is good.
4. The waterproof and anticorrosive properties of PVC wood-plastic products are also excellent.
Differences between PE Wood Plastics and PVC Wood Plastics
(1) Different manufacturing methods: PE wood-plastic products are mainly prepared by Cold-push method; PVC wood-plastic products can be prepared by vacuum forming, Cold-push method and three-roll restraint.
(2) Different raw materials: PE wood plastic materials are mainly secondary and tertiary PE recycled materials with wood flour, calcium powder and a small amount of modifier. The main materials for making PVC wood plastic are PVC resin powder, recycled PVC material, wood powder, stone powder and some modifiers, etc.
(3) Different properties: PE wood-plastic products are heavy, high hardness, brittleness and creep. PVC wood-plastic products are light in weight, poor in hardness, good in toughness and creep, less than PE wood-plastic products.
4. Different uses: PE wood-plastic products are mainly used for outdoor garden construction, such as guardrails, floors, trays, garbage cans, flower ponds and so on. PVC wood-plastic products are mainly interior decorations, such as doors, floors, kick lines, door covers and so on.
There is also a better category of wood-plastic materials - ABS wood-plastic, ABS wood-plastic products are easy to process, good strength, can also do wood grain effect, good looking and not easy to damage.
