The use of PVC wood, which includes PVC foam and PVC/wood flour composite, as an alternative to wood and wood-like products is discussed. Compared with traditional products, the PVC wood is shown to exhibit improved termite resistance and weathering resistance, lower moisture absorption and ease of installation. It is demonstrated that PVC wood can be nailed, screwed, sawed, cut and bonded like wood by conventional tools without any special skills being required. The bending strength of PVC wood is lower, but it can still be used for...

The above data show that fly ash was not beneficial for mechanical properties of the HDPE-wood flour-based composite. However, the flowability (MFI) of the molten composite was getting higher (viscosity was lower) when fly ash was replacing wood flour. Last but not the least, it was found that fly ash stabilized the HDPE-wood flour composition against heating. The onset of thermal decomposition for the 40% wood-flour-filled HDPE started at about 280°C, while that of 40% fly ash-filled HDPE started at approximately 490°C. The triple (HDPE-wood flour-fly ash) composite was between the two in this regard, showing a thermally more stable behavior than composites with wood flour alone [23].

A natural polyol of alcoholysed castor oil with triethanolamine-based rigid polyurethane foam and wood flour composite was prepared and found to show a decrease in compression modulus and yield strength with an increase in wood flour content, although good interaction of wood flour with isotyanate was noticed. Tung oil polyol-based polyurethane with pine wood flour composite was also reported. ...
