Advantages and Disadvantages of WPC Boards

 



WPC boards have gained popularity as an alternative to natural wood and plywood. The fact that WPC board manufacturing does not contribute to deforestation forms one of the primary reasons behind its increasing use. The full form of WPC boards is Wood Plastic Composite board.


Its composition is 70% virgin polymer, 15% additive chemical, and 15% wood powder. These boards are widely used in the construction sector for their high strength and durability.


WPC boards are associated with many advantages. Let’s get into details:


Advantages of WPC Boards

1. Termite resistance: WPC boards make good material for termite-proof furniture. This is one of the main advantages WPC wood offers over natural wood. In addition, these boards make a perfect solution for outdoor applications.


2. Moisture resistance: Unlike conventional building materials, WPC woods are resistant to moisture. They make great material for kitchen and bathroom cabinets where the chances of moisture retention are high.


3. UV rays resistant: WPC boards come in multiple colors. In general, the color of the furniture kept outside fades in heat.WPC boards offer UV rays resistance, making them suitable for exterior applications.


They are widely used in making facades, landscape items, flowerpots, and garden furniture.


4. High durability: Durability is one of the essential benefits offered by WPC boards. They are not affected by rain, chemicals, humidity, and other environmental conditions. They are also easy to use. Conventional tools can be used to fix these boards wherever required.


5. Eco-friendly: WPC wood is biodegradable. It can be 100 percent recyclable with recyclable materials such as wood, agricultural, and plastic waste used in its production.


Also, there is the minimal waste generation in the manufacturing process. WPC woods are also reusable, and most of them are available with a buyback guarantee.


Disadvantages of WPC Boards

1. WPC boards may mimic natural wood but can be easily identified. Furniture made from WPC board appears like natural wood, but the finishing will not be that high-end. The premium quality natural wooden look cannot be obtained using these boards.


2. WPC boards offer very low resistance to extreme temperatures. Therefore, it affects the application and the production of WPC boards. For example, laser cutters cannot be used to cut the boards as they may burn them.


Similarly, its application in the kitchen should be well thought out as very hot utensils cannot be placed on it.


3. The initial cost is known to be higher than other alternative materials.

  What is OBA? Optical brightening agents(OBA) are used to enhance the appearance of fabric and consumer apparel. On exposure to the UV rays, they absorb the colors in the spectrum to reemit in the blue range. They are generally used along with other colorants to get the desired shades. They are widely used with plastics to suppress their inherent yellow color and emit brightness. OBAs have a high melting point allowing them to mix with the molten plastic and give any shade easily. The whitening effect exhibited by the OBAs is the reason behind its wide use across different industries and materials. Global Optical Brighteners Market: Uses of Optical Brightening Agents: Optical Brightener in Textile Industries: Optical brighteners are very commonly used in the textile industry to enhance the brightness of the fabric.

What are Optical Brightening Agents? Bleaching is a popular method to decontaminate a colorized fabric. Although it is quite effective, the method often leaves a yellowish tinge, rather than pristine white. To achieve complete whitening of fabric, other methods must be used. One such method is using Optical Brightening Agents. Also known as fluorescent brighteners, these chemical compounds when exposed to invisible ultraviolet rays, emit visible light of lower energy leading to a brighter and whiter fabric. It is important to note that improper application or inappropriate quantities can lead to unexpected results and even yellowing. The unique property has made Optical Brightening Agents a much sought-after in a variety of industries like Textiles, Plastics, Paper, and Cosmetics. Where are Optical Brightening Agents Used?
