Extrusion is the primary industrial manufacturing process for producing Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) profiles, including decking boards, fencing, and wall panels. In this continuous process, a blended mixture of fine wood flour/fibers, thermoplastic polymers (commonly PE or PVC), and stabilizing additives (like lubricants, colorants, and UV inhibitors) is fed into an extruder. The material is heated until the plastic melts, forming a viscous composite that is then forced through a die of a specific cross-sectional shape. As it exits the die, it is cooled and calibrated to precise dimensions before being cut to length. Extrusion allows for the creation of complex, hollow, or solid profiles with consistent density and the integration of surface textures (like wood grain embossing) directly into the product. This process is crucial for achieving the desired mechanical strength, weather resistance, and aesthetic quality of WPC materials. For instance, the production of a hollow WPC decking board with a realistic brushed wood texture and anti-slip ridges is only feasible through precise extrusion technology. New Create Plywood Company Limited's manufacturing expertise, while centered on pressing and laminating wood-based panels, encompasses a broad understanding of composite material production and shaping. Our work with special-shaped boards indicates proficiency in creating non-standard profiles. For businesses or projects interested in the technical aspects of composite extrusion or seeking partners for custom-profile composite materials, we recommend initiating a discussion.
