In the market, WPC is generally divided into conventional wpc and co-extrusion wpc. Wallong WPC products are also divided into these two classifications.
Conventional WPC is the first generation of WPC products to be launched. Without ultra shield around, the body is single extruded with wood plastic composite material. Compare with natural wood, it has better performance of waterproof, moisture proof, durable, anti-corrosion, longer lifespan, low maintenance. And the most important thing, it is recyclable material that match the requirements of sustainable social development.
With the mature development of WPC co-extrusion technology, co-extrusion WPC has been introduced on the market. It is produced by the most advanced extrusion molding technology currently in the industry, 360 degree covering with a polymer shield evenly and firmly. Co-extruded wood plastic not only retains the advantages of conventional WPC in anti-mold, insect-proof and other physical properties, but also has stronger wear resistance, scratch resistance, stain resistance and weather resistance, which is more durable and beautiful with taken as real wood grain surface.
In America, more than 90% of outdoor decking projects are using co-extrusion wpc decking, which also fast grows in some developed countries in Europe. At present, in some areas such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America and parts of Europe, conventional WPC is gradually replacing natural wood and has occupied a certain market share.
In 2017, Wallong Technology has researched and developed a new polymer shield material based on the co-extrusion WPC-- Sandblasted Wood WPC and ACME(rubber) Wood WPC. These exclusive innovative products had made Wallong one of the leading manufacturers in producing technology in Chinese WPC industry.
Three Series of Wallong Co-extrusion WPC
Three series of Wallong co-extrusion WPC has three different polymer shield materials covered around the core. Let's see what is the difference among them.
Different polymer shield materials not only give you different sense of touch and appearance, but also bring you different product performance.
| Performance | Conventional Decking | Superior Wood Decking | Sandblasted Wood | ACME Wood |
Appearance | Without capped Texture is closed to timber, grooved, embossed or flat surface. | Capped 3D wood grain | Capped Sandy texture | Capped Hard core but flexible texture |
| Cap thickness | No | 0.5mm | 0.5mm | 0.5-1mm |
Anti-scratch | Easy to scratch | Scratches but not obvious | Almost no scratches | Almost no scratches |
Stain resistance | Not that good, dark stains are difficult to clean after penetration | Easy to clean | Easy to clean | Easy to clean |
UV-resistance(Fading) | Yes | Best | Best | Best |
Fire resistance | No | En13501 Class B | En13501 Class B | No |
