WPC Co-extruded Cladding (Co Extrusion Cladding): Empowering Modern Architecture, an Innovative Decorative Material Combining Quality and Environmental Protection

With the continuous iteration and upgrading of architectural decorative materials, materials that combine functionality and environmental protection have gradually become the market mainstream. As an innovative product in the field of wood-plastic composite materials, WPC Co-extruded Cladding (Co Extrusion Cladding) deeply integrates the natural texture of wood fibers with the excellent performance of polymer materials through advanced co-extrusion technology, breaking the balance problem between durability, environmental protection and decoration of traditional decorative materials. It can not only adapt to multiple scenarios such as outdoor landscapes, building exteriors, and interior decoration, but also meet personalized design needs while reducing later maintenance costs. It has become an important force in promoting the green transformation and quality upgrading of the construction industry, and is being favored by more and more designers, developers and owners.

Major Advantages of the Product

✅ Super Weather Resistance and Anti-aging Ability:

Co Extrusion Cladding adopts a structure of a special formula polymer outer layer and a wood fiber inner layer, which can effectively resist the impact of extreme environments such as ultraviolet radiation, alternating high and low temperatures, and strong winds and heavy rains. Verified by accelerated aging tests, the attenuation rate of the product's appearance color and structural strength is less than 5% within 5-8 years of outdoor use, which is far better than traditional wood (annual attenuation rate can reach 15%-20%) and ordinary plastic plates. No frequent replacement is required, which greatly extends the service life of architectural decoration.

✅ Comprehensive Waterproof, Moisture-proof and Corrosion Resistance:

Different from the problems that traditional wood is easy to be damp and moldy and metal materials are easy to rust, the polymer outer layer of it can form a dense waterproof barrier, with a moisture permeability rate of less than 0.1%. Even in humid or corrosive environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, underground garages, and around outdoor swimming pools, there will be no expansion, deformation, decay and other problems. At the same time, it can resist the erosion of common acid and alkali substances, and the scope of applicable scenarios is greatly expanded.

✅ Green Environmental Protection and Resource Recycling:

The product is mainly made of recycled plastics (such as PP, PE) and waste wood fibers (such as furniture scraps, forestry waste). Producing 1 ton of it can reduce 300kg of plastic waste and 500kg of wood resource consumption, realizing the resource recycling of "turning waste into treasure". Moreover, there is no emission of harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene in the production process, and the product can be 100% recycled and reprocessed, which fully complies with the national "dual carbon" goals and green building material standards, and helps construction projects obtain green building certifications.

✅ High Cost-effectiveness and Low Maintenance Cost:

Although the initial purchase cost of Co Extrusion Cladding is slightly higher than that of traditional wood, it has a significant cost-effectiveness advantage in terms of comprehensive service life and maintenance cost. Traditional wood requires 1-2 times of maintenance such as painting and waxing every year, and the one-time maintenance cost is about 15% of the material cost; while it only needs to be wiped with clean water for daily cleaning, and the annual maintenance cost is less than 1% of the material cost. Long-term use can save more than 60% of the comprehensive cost.

✅ Excellent Processing and Installation Flexibility:

It can be cut, drilled and spliced by conventional tools such as electric saws and drilling machines. The processing difficulty is equivalent to that of traditional wood, and it can easily realize complex shape designs such as arcs and special shapes. At the same time, the product is light in weight (density is about 1.1g/cm³, which is only 80% of wood and 30% of stone). No heavy equipment is needed during installation, and it can be fixed by clamping, screws and other methods. The construction efficiency is 30%-50% higher than that of traditional materials, reducing the construction cycle and labor cost.

✅ Safety, Non-toxicity and Fire Retardancy:

It has passed the national building material fire performance test, and the flame retardant grade can reach level B1 (flame-retardant material). When exposed to fire, it only carbonizes slowly without producing molten drips, which can effectively delay the spread of fire. In addition, the product does not contain harmful substances such as heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOC), and meets the standards of scenarios with high material safety requirements such as children's activity places, hospitals and schools, and is harmless to human health during use.

Application of 8 Colors

Co Extrusion Cladding provides 8 mainstream colors, which can be flexibly matched according to the design style and functional needs of different scenarios, and can achieve rich decorative effects without additional painting. Among them, classic wood color and calm dark brown are suitable for indoor and outdoor decoration of pastoral style and new Chinese style, such as the exterior wall of rural villas and the wall of Chinese-style tea houses; light gray and carbon black fit the modern minimalist and industrial style design, and are often used for the exterior wall of office buildings and the indoor floor of loft apartments; off-white and light pink are suitable for creating a fresh and warm atmosphere, and can be used for the decoration of kindergarten walls and women's theme stores; sky blue and grass green can create a dynamic and natural scene, which is suitable for outdoor children's playgrounds, park landscape trails, exterior walls of theme homestays, etc., meeting the visual and style needs of different scenarios.
