WPC (wood-plastic composite) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) each have unique advantages in the field of decoration. Here is a detailed comparison of the decorative advantages of the two:
Application areas:
WPC: Does not contain formaldehyde and other harmful substances, green and environmentally friendly. It is not only used in interior decoration, but also can be widely used in humid environments such as basements, kitchens, and bathrooms due to its excellent waterproof and moisture-proof properties. This gives WPC a significant advantage when decorating these areas.
PVC: It is lightweight and thermally insulating, which allows it to save material costs and improve thermal insulation performance in the field of decoration. The surface is smooth, the color is bright, and it has rich color and texture options, which can meet the needs of different decoration styles. It has been widely used in interior wall, ceiling and other decorations of living rooms.
Raw materials and manufacturing:
WPC: It is mainly mixed with wood powder, PVC plastic powder and other additives, and is made through high temperature, extrusion, molding and other processes. Its unique formula technology and interface strengthening treatment make wood and plastic truly integrated.
PVC: Using polyvinyl chloride resin as the main raw material, adding an appropriate amount of anti-aging agents, modifiers, etc., it is made through mixing, calendering, vacuum blister and other processes.
Physical and chemical properties:
WPC: It has the appearance of solid wood and is stronger than solid wood. It is also anti-corrosive, waterproof, insect-proof, flame-retardant, non-deforming, and non-cracking. In addition, it has no formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene and other decorative pollution problems, making it truly green and environmentally friendly.
PVC: It has the characteristics of light weight, heat insulation, heat preservation, moisture-proof, flame retardant, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. It has good stability, good dielectric properties, durability and anti-aging. Its surface is smooth, bright in color and highly decorative.
Installation and construction:
WPC: Simple installation, convenient construction, no need to use glue, and relatively convenient maintenance. In addition, its lightweight nature allows space and load-bearing savings in construction.
PVC: Installation and construction are also very fast, but when the ground conditions are good, special environmentally friendly adhesives need to be used for bonding, which requires higher construction foundation requirements.
To sum up, WPC and PVC each have their own unique advantages in the field of decoration. WPC excels in decoration fields such as decking due to its environmental protection, waterproofing, and wear resistance, while PVC is widely used in decoration fields such as walls and ceilings due to its lightweight, beautiful, and durable characteristics. When choosing decorative materials, you can choose appropriate materials according to specific needs and scenarios.
