Density of WPC Board - Understanding & Facts

Density of WPC Board

 

There are numerous debates happening over Density of WPC Board and it needs to be comprehend with the accurate meaning. Density can be counted as per the mass per unit volume, in general. Now the focus is ‘Density of WPC material should be decided and used based on its type of application. WPC board being used in furniture making with 0.55 or 0.60 density are quite adequate. PVC/ WPC boards are used in furniture producing with ‘Screw & Solvent’ method, where solvent bonds PVC materials. Screws also can be used with PVC/WPC board, which will be weld with solvent (Cyanoacrylate) material and creates hard grip between screw and WPC board.

As time passes and screw gets loosen rarely, in this circumstance you can take a tiny piece of PVC/ WPC material, weld it with Cyanoacrylate material and screw it again at the same place. Furthermore, maintenance of WPC material like this is very easy process.

In the above discussion, the most important aspect is ‘Density’, where people are getting confused. Now with ‘Screw & Solvent’ method, you can make panel furniture, but with apply of ‘Solvent Welding’  you can make panel furniture without a screw. This is a very important practice for the carpentry market. You all have seen a plumber fixing one PVC pipe to another PVC pipe - just with that solvent cement. Yes, the same method applicable here with PVC/ WPC board. Don’t forget those pipes are hanging for many years from the terrace to the ground floor of an apartment. It means the worry of density stays only with the panel furniture made with screw fixing.

if you want to make a small/ medium sized shoe rack then 0.45 density board with solvent welding method is perfectly fine, screws not required - so no worry of density here. Wardrobe drawers, small storage units, bathroom vanity, small seating, many furniture objects can be manufactured with 0.45 density & solvent welding, as they don’t require any structural strength in its use.

Yes, in case of large size furniture e.g. Wardrobe, File rack, Kitchen cabinets requires structural strength and here WPC material of 0.55-0.60 density should be applied with screw & solvent method. Similarly, WPC door frame is also best suitable beyond 0.80 density. Higher the density means more core strength, means more compression & tensile strength(screw holding capacity), means higher price also!

At the end, it is quite evident that the density of WPC material should be chosen based on the application & method of use. Customers, carpenters both should be informed/tutored with this, so that 100% termite & waterproof WPC material can be used more cleverly.

WPC Doors

Image
  WPC Doors can be installed in various places. They are extremely versatile and are a perfect fit for almost every home. However, let us first understand what exactly are  WPC Doors  and what are they made up of.   They comprise 70% of virgin polymer, 15% of wood powder and 15% additive-chemicals. WPCs are produced by mixing ground wood particles along with the heated thermoplastic resin. The most common method of production is the process of extruding the material into the desired shapes. Since less trees are cut to produce them, they are environment friendly.                                   10 WPC BOARD (8in* 4in size) = 1 TREE   BEST PLACES WHERE YOU CAN INSTALL WPC DOORS:   WPC Doors are convenient to fit in various places. Carpenters can apply the same tools that are used to produce wooden doors, nothing extra is required. As a matter of fact, installing WPC Doors is a lot easier than installing any other doors, less wastage is involved during WPC Door producti

How to enhance performance of WPC Board

Image
Generally speaking, the durability of WPC Board made by WPC manufacturers is better than that of common WPC. What measures can be taken to improve the performance of wood plastics? On the one hand, in order to improve the surface of polymer and wood powder, it is necessary to add some additives, which can improve the interface affinity between wood powder and resin. On the other hand, the surface treatment agent can be added to improve the fluidity of melt and solve the problem of difficult extrusion processing. In addition, in fact, the plastic matrix also needs to add various additives to improve its processing performance and the use performance of its products. In fact, the wood plastic composite floor is very easy to install, convenient for construction, and can save a lot of time, but after the installation, attention should be paid to its maintenance. You can use hot water, soap and a hard brush to treat the residues on the wood plastic floor. You can also use bleach to clean th

WPC (Wood Polymer Composites) vs Plywood Comparison: Which is best for you?

Image
WPC (Wood Polymer Composites) vs Plywood Comparison:  WPC, Plywood both used for interior, exterior of houses, office/commercial buildings. Both are prominent building materials in terms of durability, strength and workability and are available in different grades to cater to any requirement, budget, and application areas. What is WPC board? WPC Board means wood polymer composite board, WPC is a hybrid material that is manufactured from blend of natural wood fiber, sawdust, plastic fibers and chemical additives. What is Plywood? Plywood is made of sliced wood layers (veneers)  placed on top of each other then glued together using Formaldehyde or Phenol formaldehyde. Later pressed with high pressure at high temperature to form plywood. Moisture resistant and Termite resistant qualities: Plywood wood surface is very hard hence delivers superior water-resistant qualities. They are made from tropical hardwood veneers and bonded using water-resistant adhesive. Plywood is further
