ECOGEHR® WPC-30PP is a composite of 70% wood fibres and 30% polypropylene (PP) as a polymer matrix Wood-polymer-composites (WPC) - these materials are composites of standard polymers and wood fibres. The excellent binding of the wood fibres to the polymer gives the materials extremely high mechanical strength. The materials are weather-resistant and can optionally be given anti-bacterial, fungicidal and UV-resistant properties. WPCs display the highest tensile strengths among the ECOGEHR® materials. This also results in their having the most areas of use. They are also used wherever there is a need for a material similar to wood, but where wood is unsuitable due to its susceptibility to the weather.
Example:
Terrace decking, no splintering
Rope ladder rungs, non-slip surface
Crossbow bolts, high strength
Playground equipment
Writing implements
Park benches
