I. Introduction of WPC wall panels

WPC wood-plastic wall panel is a new ideal choice of environmentally friendly building materials. WPC wallboard is made of recycled plastic, wood powder, foaming agent and other additives mixed with bamboo fiber. After high temperature and high pressure, it can be used for pallets, packaging boards, door and window frames, decorative boards, etc.

WPC wallboard is a completely renewable material with advantages such as high density, high stability and insulation. The density of wood-plastic composites exceeds 1100kg/m3, which is much higher than most hardwoods. High density can ensure high stability without problems such as protrusions, mildew, bending, and cracking. Using wood-plastic wall panels can make the appearance of buildings look brand new. It has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, long-term outdoor use and no fading.

WPC siding is a renewable energy source, easy to clean and low maintenance. The product conforms to the concept of sustainable development, reusable and simple maintenance, it is a very environmentally friendly building material, and the lightweight material can make your construction work easier. George Panel’s WPC wood-plastic wall panels are easy to transport and install, sawed, planed and drilled, and can be presented in a variety of elegant designs and patterns.

Our WPC wood plastic wall panels can be used in commercial projects or residential use, ideal for decorating or renovating building walls. As an alternative to traditional planks.

II. The production process of WPC wall panel

WPC (wood plastic composite) wall panels are composite materials made by mixing wood powder, plastic and other additives, the following is the general manufacturing process of WPC wall panels:

1. Raw material preparation

First, wood powder, plastic and other additives need to be prepared as the main raw materials. Wood powder can come from by-products of wood processing or recycled wood. Plastics usually use polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), etc. Additives may include stabilizers, antioxidants, preservatives, etc.

2. Material mixing

The wood flour, plastic and additives are fed into a mixer or extruder for mixing. In this step, by adjusting the proportion of additives and mixing time, ensure that the wood powder, plastic and additives are fully mixed and even.

3. Extrusion molding

The mixed WPC material is extruded into a wallboard of a specific shape through an extruder. The extruder heats the material to a temperature where it becomes malleable, then squeezes it through a die to create the shape of the wallboard.

4. Cooling and solidification

The extruded WPC wallboard goes through a cooling process to make it solidify and stabilize. During the extrusion process, the shape of the wall panels remains stable.

5. Cutting and shaping

The extruded WPC wall panels are cut to the required length, shaped and trimmed in order to get the final wall panel product.

6. Surface treatment

As required, WPC wall panels can be finished with surface treatments such as printing, embossing or painting to provide different textures and patterns.

7. Packaging and Shipping

Finally, the finished WPC wall panels are packed and ready to be shipped to the market or customers.

It is important to note that the production process of WPC siding may vary depending on the manufacturer and the type of product. Some manufacturers may add other special processes or techniques to enhance the performance and appearance of the siding. Generally speaking, the manufacturing process of WPC wallboard is a relatively complicated process, but through reasonable raw material ratio and production process, high-quality WPC wallboard products can be obtained.

III. What are the advantages and disadvantages of WPC wall panels?

WPC stands for Wood Plastic Composite and is a material made from a combination of wood fibers and plastic. WPC siding is made by mixing wood fibers with thermoplastic resins and additives to produce a composite material, which is then extruded into panels. The resulting WPC wall panels are strong, durable, moisture and corrosion resistant, making them ideal for use in high humidity environments such as bathrooms and kitchens.

One of the main advantages of WPC wall panels is that they are environmentally friendly as they are made from recycled materials. Additionally, WPC wall panels are available in a wide range of colours, textures and patterns, offering designers great flexibility in creating unique, stylish interiors.

Advantages of WPC wall panels

1. Beautiful appearance

WPC has the beautiful appearance and excellent texture of wood, but its size is much more stable than that of wood, so it will not produce cracks, deformation and other phenomena. Made from a unique combination of wood and plastic, our WPC wall panels are corrosion resistant. With the real wood feel, the product has a long-lasting wood grain effect and color.

2. Excellent physical performance

Wood-plastic panels not only have a certain hardness, but also have the advantages of anti-skid, wear-resistant, non-cracking, waterproof, anti-corrosion, insulation, thermal insulation and other advantages. The WPC wood-plastic wall panels developed by us have the characteristics of moth resistance and corrosion resistance.

3. High density

Our WPC wood-plastic wall panels are made of high-density polyethylene and solid wood fibers, which have good stability and strength compared to wood. It won’t crack and warp and is suitable for outdoor use.

4. Lightweight and convenient
