The best wood and plastic can offer
WPC combines the advantages of wood – a renewable raw material – with the benefits of mineral oil – a fossil raw material. It consists of wood, plastic and additives in different proportions. Products made from this new composite are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The material has already proven optimal performance in many applications because of its extraordinary properties. Depending on the forming techniques and additives used, products made from WPC are:
- visually appealing owing to their fibrous wood structure
- mouldable to your needs and in three dimensions
- dimension-stable
- sound-absorbent
- weather-resistant
- moisture-resistant
- protected from attacks by insects and fungi
- resistant to rot even in direct contact with earth
- recyclable
Beneficial properties
JELU has performed its own test series to examine the characteristics of the new biocomposite. For detailed information about the advantages of wood plastic composites, see Properties. To learn more about the properties of our WPC granulate, see WPC Granulate.
