Composite
materials made up of thermoplastic resins and having wood as reinforcement
materials are globally known as wood-plastic composites. If we neglect
additives which are added to modify its properties (added in very small
quantity) the major constituent are wood and resin. Wood based composites are
produced by mixing wood particles or fibers in melted resin and then shaping it
into appropriate shape by means of heat and pressure.

TOC :-
As
mentioned earlier, additive such as lubricants for easy processability, blowing
agent to create foam structure, colorants, coupling agent to form good bond
between wood and resin and UV stabilizers to extend service life are also added
in some quantity.
On
the basis of form of reinforcement they can be segmented as wood flour based
and wood fiber based composites. Another major constituent is resin; widely
used resins are polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE - HDPE, LDPE), polyvinyl
chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid
(PLA).

Its
major growing application is in building products followed by automotive
infrastructure, industrial and other consumer products. Products may be
injection molded or extruded in continuous profiles. North America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific are expected to show growing demand for wood-plastic composites,
followed by RoW.
