With the continuous upgrading of wood-plastic flooring and wall panels, the co-extrusion wall panel process has become very mature and has continuously entered people's field of vision, becoming widely known by the public.
What is a co-extrusion wall panel
Co-extrusion wall panel is a technology where a co-extruded layer is added to the surface of the flooring and wall panel, providing better waterproof, moisture-proof, stain-resistant, easy-to-clean, and mold-resistant properties. Its unique coating technology makes the surface of the flooring and wall panel delicate and soft to the touch, with low thermal conductivity and anti-static properties. Additionally, the surface of the co-extruded layer features 3D embossed textures, enhancing the slip resistance and aesthetics of the flooring and wall panel.
Advantages of co-extrusion wall panels
Excellent waterproof performance
The surface of the co-extrusion wall panel is covered with a layer of polymer co-extrusion, which has excellent waterproof performance outdoors, effectively preventing moisture from invading and damaging the core layer of the flooring. Furthermore, water droplets on the co-extruded wood-plastic flooring and wall panel will form bead-like shapes on the surface without spreading or penetrating into the core layer of the flooring and wall panel.
Scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, antibacterial, and mold-proof
The unique coating technology of co-extrusion wall panels makes the surface delicate. Daily trash, grease, and beverage stains will not penetrate the flooring and can be easily wiped clean with a clean cloth, providing scratch resistance and stain resistance. Additionally, co-extrusion wall panels effectively prevent mold invasion caused by rotting flowers and leaves around the floor, offering antibacterial and mold-proof properties.
High self-cleaning properties and easy to clean
Co-extrusion wall panels generally do not require painting or maintenance but do need simple cleaning. The cleaning method involves rinsing the surface with clean water (following the grain direction during rinsing for better results). For more stubborn stains, a mixture of detergent and water can be used for cleaning.
Production process of co-extrusion wall panels
Careful preparation of raw materials
The first step in the production of co-extrusion wall panels is the preparation of raw materials, which includes high-quality wood powder and polyethylene. The wood powder needs to be finely crushed and screened to achieve the ideal particle size distribution. Simultaneously, polyethylene must undergo melting treatment to better blend with the wood powder.
Mixing and extrusion molding
Next, the molten polyethylene and wood powder are mixed under specific conditions. Through heating and efficient stirring, ensure the two are fully blended to form a uniformly textured mix. This mix is then fed into an extruder, where it is molded into the predetermined shape and size under the influence of a mold.
Cooling and curing
The co-extrusion wall panel formed by extrusion immediately enters the cooling stage. Using advanced cooling systems, the wall panel gradually cools and solidifies, a crucial step for ensuring the final quality and shape stability of the product.
Precision cutting into finished products
The final step is the precision cutting of the cured wall panel. Using high-precision cutting equipment, the wall panel is cut into standard or non-standard sizes according to market demand, resulting in the final co-extrusion wall panel product.
Throughout the entire production process, the maintenance and upkeep of equipment are equally important. Regular checks and maintenance not only extend the service life of the equipment but also ensure the continuous and stable operation of the production line, thereby guaranteeing the stable output of product quality.
In summary, the production process of co-extrusion wall panels is a meticulous and precise process. From raw material selection and processing to mixing extrusion, cooling and curing, and finally cutting into shape, every step is carefully designed and optimized to provide consumers with high-performance, high-quality, environmentally friendly decorative materials.
