Wpc Meaning

Wood-plastic composites (WPCs), also known under the tradename Plastic-Wood® of Covema, are composite materials made of wood fiber / wood flour and thermoplastic (s) such as PE, PP, PVC, or PLA . In addition to wood fiber and plastic, WPCs can also contain other ligno-cellulosic and/or inorganic filler materials.

What is WPC Flooring? WPC is a class of Engineered Multilayer Flooring and is a subcategory of Vinyl Flooring. WPC refers to "wood plastic composite" but oddly enough, there are very few WPC floors that contain any wood.

WPC is a proven process that has been utilized for many years in the racing and automotive industry. WPC is not a coating, it is a treatment that enhances the surface to reduce friction and strengthen engine parts. WPC achieves this process by firing ultra fine particles towards the surface of a product at very high speeds.

In addition to wood fiber and plastic, WPCs can also contain other ligno-cellulosic and/or inorganic filler materials. WPCs are a subset of a larger category of materials called natural fiber plastic composites (NFPCs), which may contain no cellulose -based fiber fillers such as pulp fibers, peanut hulls, coffee husk, bamboo, straw, digestate, etc.
