WPC|PVC Board Manufacturing During Covid Pandemic

covid

 

WPC/PVC board industry is largely impacted and forced to even shut down plants. The reported production can be estimated to be around 50 percent due to steep price rise of its raw materials. The entire eco-system of this emerging product category looks jeopardized with no sign of relief for next 2 to 3 months.

WPC raw materials prices rising from Rs.75 to Rs.140 in last 6 months, is actually no match for the miniscule rise that industry has passed on. The manufacturing industries have increased the prices of WPC/PVC boards by mere 20 percent where as impact is more than market can visibly handle in one go.

PVC resin prices are shooting up almost every day, making it impossible for industry to pass on the prices of finished goods on day to day basis. Manufacturers are clear that running plant today is not sustainable, especially on its full capacity. A sharp increase in finished goods prices would be challenging task and also to maintain the products share thus it is wise to either shut the plant and wait or run the plant at minimum to minimize losses. Till writing this news, A number of PVC board’s producers are temporarily shut its boards production, where as some has shifted its production to Doors and Door Frames manufacturing. This issue is having a detailed story on PVC edge tape segment that is also impacted with the crisis on same note

It is noted that WPC/PVC board industry is at nascent stage in India, but it has been the fastest growing sector, which accounts almost 2000 crores business (Pre-Pandemic) annually with number of good brands in market. It is calculated that India has approximately 125 manufacturing establishments & more than 200 brands.

  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
