WPC wallboard originated in the late 1990s and is a new type of environmentally friendly building material made by blending wood powder and polyethylene and other plastics.
The origin of WPC wallboard
WPC wallboard originated from the “Wood plastic composite (WPC)” invented in the United States. It is a new composite material made of wood powder, plastic and chemical additives. Because WPC has the dual characteristics of wood texture and plastic texture, and the material is more environmentally friendly and durable than pure wood, it has been widely used in the fields of construction and interior decoration.
The earliest WPC wall panels were promoted in the US building materials industry. At that time, the US government imposed increasingly stringent environmental standards and restrictions on wood production companies, and a more environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative was urgently needed. With the development and maturity of WPC technology, WPC wall panels have gradually entered the Chinese market and have been widely used.
The development of WPC wallboard
The development of WPC wall panels in China can be traced back to the beginning of the 21st century. Due to its advantages of environmental protection, easy processing and durability, WPC wall panels have been widely used in the fields of construction and interior decoration. Especially in the process of urbanization and modernization, WPC wall panels have been used more and are used for decoration of building walls, roofs, floors, flower boxes, etc.
With the continuous expansion of the market, China’s WPC wallboard manufacturers are also emerging. Years of development have highlighted the hundreds of millions of potential demand for WPC wall panels in the field of construction and decoration.
Advantages of WPC wall panels
Compared with ordinary wood and traditional building materials, WPC wall panels have the following advantages:
Environmental protection advantages: WPC wall panels use waste plastics and wood products as raw materials, which can greatly reduce pollution to the natural environment. Moreover, the production process of WPC wallboard does not require the use of harmful chemicals, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional building materials.
Durability advantage: WPC wall panels have high durability and will not rot and be affected by ultraviolet rays as easily as natural wood. Because its material contains polyethylene plastic components, WPC wall panels also have integrated and strong weather resistance.
Easy installation: Since WPC wall panels are light in weight and easy to cut, they are more convenient to install than traditional wooden wall panels. Because WPC wall panels can be installed by sawing, drilling, and nailing, these tasks can be done on site, and the installation speed and efficiency are relatively high.
Energy saving and environmental protection: WPC wallboard has dense wood texture, which has the characteristics of heat insulation, fire prevention, sound insulation, etc., and can achieve high energy saving effect. The development of new materials to achieve low carbon, energy saving and environmental protection can achieve the best situation.
Beautiful appearance: WPC wallboard has good texture and charm, and beautiful appearance. In terms of product design, WPC wall panels also have a lot of room for optimization, and more beautiful, personalized and diversified styles can be designed, so that customers have more choices.
Therefore, WPC wall panels are widely used in high-end residences, villas, hotels and other interior decoration and architectural environmental protection fields, and become recyclable green products.
