Wood-Plastic Composite Deck Boards Thermoplastics

COMPOSITION OF WOOD-PLASTIC COMPOSITE DECK BOARDS THERMOPLASTICS 

Wood-plastic composite (WPC) deck boards are extruded or molded products of a specified shape and, by definition, represent plastic filled with cellulose fiber and other ingredients. In this context wood is a proxy for fibrous materials of plant origin. These materials will be considered in the next chapter. This chapter deals with a plastic component of composite deck boards, with an understanding that the plastic is thermoplastic.
