How to choose the Right Lubricant additives for WPC?
What is the WPC?
Wood–plastic composite (WPC) are composite materials made of wood fibers and thermoplastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
In addition to wood fibers and plastics. WPC may also contain other wood cellulose. Or other inorganic filler materials. WPC is a subset of a larger class of materials called natural fiber plastic composites (NFPC). Cellulose fiber fillers such as pulp fibers, peanut shells, coffee shells, bamboo, straw, etc. are not allowed.
It is formed in planks or beams shape which may be utilized in many applications such as outdoor deck floors, railings, park benches, car door linens, car seat backs, fences, door and window frames, timber plate structures, and indoor furniture. Furthermore, they have shown promising applications as thermal and sound insulation panels.
What's function of lubricants additives in WPC?
Certain chemical additives are also required in composite structures. They provide integration of polymer and wood flour (powder) and promote optimized processing conditions.
For example, WPCs require proper lubrication to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The right lubricant additives can help protect WPCs from wear and tear, reduce friction, and improve their overall performance.
How to choose the Right Lubricant additives for WPC?
When selecting lubricant additives for WPCs, it is important to consider the type of application and the environment in which the WPCs will be used. For example, if the WPCs will be exposed to high temperatures or moisture, then a lubricant with a higher viscosity index may be necessary. Additionally, if the WPCs will be used in an application that requires frequent lubrication, then a lubricant with a longer service life may be needed.
WPCs can use standard lubricants for polyolefins and PVC, such as Glycerin monostearate GMS99, Ethylene bis-stearamide (EBS), Stearic acid, zinc stearate, paraffin waxes, and oxidized PE etc.
We always advice a combination lubricant: Glycerin monostearate GMS99 + Stearic acid + Paraffin Waxes for WPC.
