Wood-plastic composites: Weathering quality issues

Tipo de material: TextoTextoSeries ; Plastics Technology, 51(9), p.62-69, 2005Trabajos contenidos:
  • Schut, J.H
Tema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: The efforts being made to counter the effects that the complex interactions between ingredients in wood composites have on their weatherability, color loss, and resistance to moisture, mold, and aging are discussed. Composite decks with high wood loadings can shrink, expand, stain, warp, split, and fade much like natural wood. In the US ASTM has developed the first quality standards in the world for wood-composite decking, including ASTMD 7031, a compendium of test methods. Furthermore, Pallmann Maschinenfabrik is working with Schilling-Knobel GmbH in Germany on a dual-belt wood-composite process, which pelletizes wood flour or fiber and virgin or recycled HDPE.
