Modern building materials should be not only aesthetic, but also practical, simple in circulation and care, but most importantly - economical. Many enterprises operate in the field of the invention of new materials, directing research mainly on combinations of various substances, and among them you can allocate such a promising novelty as wood-polymer composite (DPK).

DPK is often called Liquid tree , or topoplastic , and lovers to the knowledge of English call him polwood . From these names it is clear that it is a compound of plastic and wood in the molten state, followed by solidification of the final product. Liquid tree It is an alternative wood of expensive varieties, and, moreover, has significantly improved operation characteristics compared to any tree or plastic. In the light of modern fashion on environmental materials polymer composite - This is the necessary improvement of materials used for cladding, flooring, manufacturing panels and "boards" and many other construction and finishing materials. The widest use of the wood-polymer composite received in the field of manufacture Terraced boards (Decing).

The most popular option applications of DPK. - Terraced board or Decking

Properties and characteristics of wood-polymer composite

The DPK consists mainly of wood fibers whose role is successfully carried out by woodworking and plastics, as a binder substrate. As a result, the resulting material combines all beneficial features modern polymers and natural wood.

Wood qualities of liquid wood are manifested in:

• authentic wooden drawing, texture and color;
• similar thermal conductivity;
• characteristic aroma;
• security for ambient And for the consumer.

The polymer part of the DPK gives it such properties as:

• high moisture resistance, because of what you should forget the problem of booting boards;
• strength and wear resistance, thanks to which the DPK products are not afraid of loads, shocks and constant abrasion. Shoes, claws of animals, falling items do not leave on the surface of visible traces. In addition, even being moistened, the terrace board of the DPK does not slide, which is so important when used on the floor, as steps and, naturally, terraces, veranda, open areas and even (garden parquet);
• heat resistance and ability to withstand extreme weather conditions;
• inedistence for insects, fungi, as well as concurrent bacteria;
• ease of processing and installation (an example of the construction of a terrace of DPK);

As a result, a liquid tree is unlike all well-known building materials, at the same time:

• Reliably, durable and beautiful;
• Does not require any care, except for wiping dust. Cyclumin, lacquer treatment, paint coating and other manipulations are whims of a tree, the wood-polymer composite in them simply does not need;
• Economically. Compare DPK with natural wood at a cost simply no sense, and plastic is becoming more expensive over time due to the fact that it requires frequent repairs and replacements. That is, a wood-polymer composite, which will easily serve you a quarter of a century, will survive a few shifts of plastics and wood, because of which its cost in the total account decreases several times.

The variety of products from DPK is truly limitless

Scope of wood-polymer composite

Such undoubted advantages led to the use of DPK in the field of construction and even interior decoration Car and yachts, and because of the excellent water resistance, it is used to build structures of frequently contact with water or constantly in it located: Basins, Perseys and Persons, small bridges, some shipbuilding details and even sea piles (!).

In a private house-building, a wood-polymer composite becomes material No. 1 when installing various flooring, garages, a dance flooring, a veranda, terraces and fences. In addition to all of the liquid wood, excellent garden structures are obtained: arbor, terraces, tracks, fences, wickets - and all due to resistance to a wide range of temperatures, ultraviolet of sunlight and the influence of living organisms. And what facade cladding can be done with the help of DPK!

Easy, thermo- and moisture-resistant, easy to install and, moreover, an environmentally friendly wood-polymer composite becomes an excellent substitute for Eurovantia and. It also produces excellent window sills and countertops, furniture and doors of any type (both input and).

Most common in the world building materials from DPK - DeconAlso called a terraced board. From Decing create floor coverings in the interiors, also in rooms, where the humidity is often elevated: a bath, a sauna, a bathroom. All the positive qualities of the DPK work when using it for outdoor decoration Constructions: already mentioned balconies, terraces, operated roofs, veranda, piers, marins and decks of ships.

The terrace board is a traditionally profile product with variable configurations. Also manufacturers recommend using a hollow or solid decoing profile for different types of intended coverage load.

It is also very common with a DPK product called garden parquet. Externally, it looks like a tile coating with segments of about 30 to 30 cm. But the parquet itself is made up of a plastic substrate to which the slats of the wood-polymer composite are attached. Special substrate attachments make it easy and easy to install and collect back the flooring, which causes its use in seasonal buildings, sites or on private suburban areas.

Where did this amazing material come from?

Created a wood-polymer composite (DPK) in Italy. Back in 1974, the ICMA San Giorgio concern received a patent for the authorship of this building material for which Wood-Stock brand was created. Now you can clearly see all the prerequisites for such an idea - after all, the company before it was engaged simultaneously with the traditional woodworking and the manufacture of polymer plastic products. The cost utilization of waste of both industries has become a problem that was economically solved by the association of both directions. But then the new building material was not just a novelty, but standing on the verge of fiction, so he had to deserve consumer confidence for a long time.

DPK production technology requires careful compliance technological process and high quality raw materials. The processes of improvements and improvements of manufacturing technology, and then the material itself dragged up to the eighties. And the remission of the consumer is not a liquid tree not in Italy, but on the largest auto plants in the world. Now practically everyone is dealing with DPK, but it may not even guess about it, because most car salons are made precisely from it - a wood-polymer composite.

Wood-polymer composite - production in production

Composition and manufacture of wood-polymer composite

If we consider the composition of the DPK more, its changes are traced from the beginning of production to modernity, and now approximately: the crushed wooden filler, which gives the main volume of the product, is associated with a polymer of one of three species. The purpose of the finished product determines the choice: polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or classic polyethylene. Plastic with filler binds and turn into a single monolith.

Actively used in the manufacture of liquid wood additives - various additives necessary to give the composure of the necessary operational properties. Their role in the liquid trees are played by the products of the chemical industry:

• kolorals to give color;
• modifiers for strength and hardness;
• lubricants for better moisture resistance and fast extrusion;
• foaming reagents to impart the lightness and smoothness of the surface;
• biocides for maximum resistance to the effects of biological nature factors.

Disadvantages of the Polymer Composite

The disadvantages of the materials made of wood-polymer composite include poor tolerability with constant simultaneous impact of combinations of two negative effects - high humidity and high temperature, which leads to a rapid wear of the Coverage of the DPK.

The appearance of mold with insufficient ventilation of the room with which only specific and expensive additives allow them to fight. Its value compared to the budget tree still remains the main disadvantage.

The nearest natural competitor to the DPK can be a larch or more rare Bankeirai tree (Bangkirai), which is sometimes even twice as cheaper, and properties have almost identical. The difference is manifested only in those places where the use of one material is impossible and it is replaced by another.

Technical and operational characteristics of the wood-polymer composite (DPK) and larch

The larch will manifest itself much better in the bath or sauna (high temperatures in combination with humidity - remember?), But the wood-polymer composite will last much longer last the open sky, as the wooden building materials in the air always need regular additional processing and replacement.

Modern materials help us create a comfort and a unique interior in the house. The construction market of all time has always offered finishing materials from natural wood. They not only allow you to make the house beautiful and warm, and also environmentally friendly, safe for health. Most recently, the choice of wooden products has been replenished with such material as a wood-polymer composite (DPK).

What is wood and polymer composite?

Already from the very name you can guess the nature of this material. It combines the wood filler and polymer, the origin of which can be natural or chemical. DPK thus unites the most best properties and plastic and wood. As a rule, the tree is changed by chemical additives.

Wood-polymer composite quite often replace synonyms - a liquid tree, wood-plastic composite, anodlest, ancientamoplast. On import packages, you will find the WPS inscription, which is decoded as Wood Plastic Composite or Wood Polymer Composite.

Directly the technology of the production of DPK in industrial quantities appeared not so long ago, although research and development in this area have been held for a long time. Due to the creation of special additives, the polymer composite has become almost that the ideal finishing material. It opposes moisture very well, does not require additional painting, does not give in to the destructive action of bacteria, insects, it is well tolerating mechanical damage. Along with these important characteristics, it is worth noting the fact that the DPK is mounted without much effort. And that particularly pleases, so this is the fact that it is not necessary to hire specialists for its laying.

Wood-polymer composite is not afraid of sudden temperature drops and resistant to ignition. Their specifications And the properties of the DPK retains at temperatures from -50 ° C to + 80 ° C and even higher. Here is a poet such material will be great for products that will be placed in the bath, sauna or on the balcony, terrace that are deprived of heating.

How and what do DPK do?

The usual DPK production scheme follows such items:

Chopping wood;
- drying of crushed wood;
- dosing the necessary components;
- mixing of all components;
- composure of pressing for creating the necessary product;
- final processing of the resulting material (trimming on the required length or width).

Basically common features Production is similar to the manufacture of chipboard. The difference is the applied equipment. For the production of wood-polymer composites, equipment is used to a greater degree of chemical type, that is, that is used in the plastic industry.
In its properties, the wood-polymer composite is not different from wooden, plastic materials or ceramic tile. This material has collected all the positive qualities of products from natural wood, but at the same time deprived of many shortcomings inherent in it (high degree of flammability are susceptible to rotting, affecting mold, is easy to mechanically influence).

Consists of DPK from wood flour or chips left from processing coniferous rocks Trees, polymeric material and additives. The composition of the composite may also contain other vegetable fibers (flax, hemp, kenaf, sisal, shells or rice husks, even straw). The polymer component uses different components in the form of thermoplastic polymers or mixtures thereof. But in fact, only three types of thermoplastic resins are used. It may be polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene, polyethylene. These components differ not only in their structure, but also by the number in which they are added. So PVC is added exactly in the same amount as the wooden component, polyethylene is taken in a ratio of 70% to 30% of the tree, and polypropylene - 60% to 40. As we see, any product made of wood-polymer composite consists of wood in a greater or less degree. And a clear case than its percentage above, the material closer to natural.

To give the material some additional qualities, glass or metal is also added to its composition. Also, various modifying additives are introduced into the composition of the composite - means of antimicrobial effects, antioxidants, binders and surfactants, lubricants, temperature stabilizers, flame retardant and shockproof products, pigments, light stabilizers. Not only primary polymers are used as binding polymers, but also secondary. These are starch from grain crops, waste paper and leather production and others. This allows you to create composites that are subsequently disposed of easily and can be biodegradable. Foaming components can also be added, which reduce the density of the future composite material. From the composition of these components on innovative technologies, raw materials are produced, of which in the future and the final product is obtained, that is, a wood-polymer composite.

Products made of wood-polymer composite are manufactured by two methods - casting and continuous extrusion. Production technology allows the use of low-varieties and plastic wood after recycling products used. From these waste produce parts for high quality furniture and very durable finishing materials. This allows you to put the production of wood-polymer composite into the category of some of the most rational and promising methods for using waste from the woodworking industry. Which is typical for the DPK, this is his re-participation in the process of creating the same DPK.

How to work with DPK?

it composite materialwhich in its composition has wood. According to the appearance of DPK more similar to MDF or solid fiberboard. If the wood is less in it, then the material will be reminded by plastic. IN installation work Such a material is very good to apply, because it is easily cut, drills and processed by the plane. In other words, the tools for working with it are needed the same as for wooden materials. Particularly valuable property of wood-polymeric composite is the possibility of flexing in a heated state as parts of plastic. Some products can be bonding or welding, again, as plastic. In the product of the wood-polymer composite, nails are easily driven, you can paint the surface from such a material if you want to change the color. For this you need ordinary paint products. Also, DPK products can be fed by synthetic film or natural veneer.

If you want to extend the service life of the working surface, it is better to choose a non-natural terrace board, but a board of DPK. But this is, of course, if you do not have a categorical desire to use only natural wood.

Spectrum of Application of DPK products

From the wood-polymeric composite in the future produced different types wall panels, lining, furniture for saunas and street (shops, swing and so on). And this is not the limit of the use of materials from the DPK. In the automotive construction of them produce internal panels, gaskets for doors and roofs, cortic. Floors of trucks, seat backs, lifting shelves. As the construction elements of the DPK product can be found in roofing, window and door profiles, flooring, stakenants, other accessories. For consumer use, manufactures such as various garden structures, garden furniture, fences, equipment for children and sports field etc.

Products made of wood-polymeric composite can successfully replace materials from natural wood, as well as to be an alternative to the use of PVC products, specifically - siding for outdoor finishing work, wall panelsterraced board.

However, today Deoping or a terraced board has won the greatest popularity. These are boards from DPK, which are intended to cover the floor on terraces, sites near the pool, for garden tracks. In principle, declow Decing can both in the residential premises, however, it was originally developed as a material for external finishing works, that is, it is able to withstand harsh climatic conditions. Since Decing is well opposed to moisture, it can be applied for flooring in the bathroom, bathrooms.

The surface of the terrace board is very pleasant for the legs, and the relief on it does not allow slipping even on a wet board. However, special grooves are made even in order to largely improve the removal of water from the board itself.

The saturation of building markets products made of wood-polymer composite makes it possible to evaluate them in all manifestations. With all its advantages, the wood-polymer composite has one important disadvantage, which largely slows the activity by buyers. This is the high cost of DPK. However, it fully justifies itself by production costs and to some extent gradually decreases.

it has long been an integral part of almost any sphere of production and life due to higher strength indicators, low cost and other consumer qualities.

They are especially common in the construction of construction, where various mixtures, paints, insulation and is made of polymers. At the expense of its qualities, polymers gradually displace natural materialsBy purchasing wider distribution.

Wood-polymer composites became new high-tech materials, the use of which allowed to create boards, combining the best qualities of natural wood and ceramic tiles. It is about these materials that it is worth talking in more detail.

Major varieties and composition

Wood-polymer composites are a number of artificially obtained materials consisting of a mixture of wood flour and monomers, which in the future pass polymerization, gain the necessary properties.

The material consists of four main components:

• wood. The total share ranges from 30 to 80% depending on the material. Most often, hydrofins, seeds, crushed bark and bruises are used, as well as other woodworking waste;
• composite polymer. PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene can be used;
• chemical modifiers. The mass fraction in the substance is about 0.5%. Used to impart the necessary technological properties;
• dyes. Entered the mixture at the initial stage to obtain the necessary color shade of finished products.

Special attention is paid thermoplastic wood and polymeric composites. They have increased resistance to chemically active substances and high mechanical strength, which allows to obtain from these materials not only the terraced board, but also elements of the roof, and facing panels for walls.

The terrace board of wood-polymer composite has three varieties depending on the percentage of chopped wood and polymer:

• 30% polymer and 70% of wood are the cheapest option that prevails at the moment in the finishing materials market. Unfortunately, in addition to the low price, this board has almost no advantage. Due to the large content of crushed wood, the product has low mechanical strength, strongly susceptible to wear and swelling from moisture exposure. The average service life of such a board in our climatic belt is no more than 5-7 years;
• 60% polymer and 40% of wood. The final material has a high mechanical strength, not exposed to water and active chemical environments and has a very long service life. The only drawback is practically completely lost natural look, and the board resembles a piece of plastic. The material is very often used to create berths and facing space near the pools in hotels, since it is designed for high loads;
• 50% polymer and 50% of wood. The most optimal ratio of the main components. The board is distinguished by natural species and has all the advantages of synthetic materials - durability, durability and reliability. Has a high cost precisely due to external view.

Basic consumer characteristics

The terrace board of wood-polymer composite (DPK) has a number of useful consumer properties:

• high mechanical strength. One of the main characteristics that allowed the widespread material when lining the pools, the creation of terraces and berths;
• a wide range of operating temperatures from -50 to +180 degrees allows the use of material in almost any climatic belts;
• moisture resistance and immunity to ultraviolet. Thanks to these properties, the material is used in the construction of the sauna, bath, ship decks, sadroom furniture, fences and altanoks, where the natural tree does not speed for a long time or maintaining its holistic structure or appearance will leave much time and money;
• the material is not a habitat or propagation of bacteria, is not subject to rotting and does not change its physical properties With temperature drops.

In addition to these basic characteristics, high aesthetic indicators should be noted - articles made of DPK look like made of natural wood, thanks to dyes, they successfully mimic any breed, including the expensive red, teak or rosewood tree.

The material does not support combustion, and in production or use does not highlight harmful substances - formaldehydes and carcinogens.

Methods for mounting a terraced board of DPK

The main options for laying such a board are only two - seamless installation or using seams. Each of them has its own features when installing, as well as the advantages and disadvantages that should be taken into account before purchasing a specific terrace board.

In the first case, the elements have a special lock on the side of the side - a spike-groove, by means of which the boards of each other occurs. Details are fastened with self-pressing immediately on the supporting beam through special holes that are closed by a neighboring board. The coating looks holistic and monolithic, however, to ensure the drain, it is worth it to lay with an inclination of 2-3 degrees.

In the second case, boards with a small gap of about 1 centimeter are installed on the main lags with a kleimer (a special type of plastic or metal mounts). As the advantages of this method of installation, you can call high installation speed and excellent drainage through the seams.

As a disadvantage - in the seams can get the garbage, when installing the terraces in country areas, weeds can germinate through the seams. There is also a possibility of deformation of elements of flooring due to indirect attachment to the guide.

RESULTS

Wood-polymer composites are new, high-tech materials that have excellent consumer characteristics and lower price than natural wood. This allows the use of material in various facing works inside or outside the room, as well as creating finishing specific structures - Yachts, pier, pools, saunas and baths.

Due to the fact that the DPK appeared not more than 10 years ago, the demand for them is constantly growing at a fairly high cost, which is not affordable to most consumers. Over time, there is a tendency to a slight decrease in cost by opening and implementing more economical technologies.

Wood-polymer composite (DPK) is a mixture, which contains a polymer (chemical or natural), as well as a wood filler, modified, most often, chemical agents. This material is also called "Liquid Tree", and wood-plastic composite, and anodilant, and a polywood. main feature Such a material is that the final product is obtained, actually from production and consumption waste, such as sawdust, chips, wood flour, agricultural waste and different types of consumption waste. Today, methods are created that make it possible to apply in the production process are not primary, but secondary polymers.

What it is?

Externally, the polymer composite with a large content of wood is very similar to MDF or solid DVP, and with its small amount - on plastics. Such material perfectly succumbes to the planing of the plane. It is easily robbed nails. It can also be painted by conventional paints and enamels, or fermented with synthetic films, natural veneer.

Polymer composite is a super-modern material. DPK has all the best natural properties of wood, but at the same time deprived of its drawbacks, as a tendency to rot and mold, flammability, surface flaws, susceptibility to moisture.

IN dPK composition Present:

• wood flour (or crushed chips), ranging from 0.5 to 2 mm
• polymer, which can be PVC, polyethylene or polypropylene
• additive.

The manufacture of extrusion wood-polymer composites can be called one of the most promising directions in the field rational use The remains of sawmill, furniture and woodworking industries, the use of low-grade timber, vegetable waste, in which there are many cellulose, secondary plastics for creating high-quality profile parts.

Benefits of the wood-polymer composite

The main advantages of such a material include:

• dPK board no need to paint every year
• the terrace board during the rain does not slide, because it has a corrugated surface
• material withstands colossal differences temperature mode (from -50 ° C to + 50 ° С)
• high strength. Products from this material are withstanding heavy loads, which makes it possible to apply them as flooring even on car parking.

The most popular DPK in such areas of activity:

• building. In this industry, it uses for outdoor lining of houses, creating door and window profiles, panels, as well as for finishing opening, frontal boards
• landscaping design. Flooring (Decing), sidewalks, hedges, fences, garden architecture (benches, gazebos), gardening facilities, playgrounds are manufactured from the polymer-wood composite. Also, they are separated by pools and are used as a floor covering.
• interior decoration. In this industry from DPK, railing, stairs, shutters, decorative profile, finishing panels, kitchen built-in wardrobes, parquet, office furniture, shelves, plinth, soundproofing panels
• industry. From the "Liquid Tree" creates bridges, transport pallets, containers, pises, sea piles and bulkheads, railway parts (sleepers), garbage containers, signs, signboards.

Decing, or in other words, a terrace board of a wood-polymer composite is the most modern material among street flooring. Wood flour and polymer do unique properties This material. The period of operation of such a board reaches 40 years. This material requires an annual antiseptic processing and painting.

Basic properties:

• no slip even in wet
• high performance and wear resistance
• temperature mode from -50 to +80 0s
• not susceptible to moisture, can be used in the open sky.
• it is not afraid of ultraviolet rays, it does not fade, does not rot, it does not mold.

Today they produce such types of terrace board:

• suture, have seams from 2 to 6 mm. They are used by large squares, Over 300 m2, where you need to guarantee a large outflow of water
• seamless. Such boards are ideal for summer cafes that need to make a monolithic coating.
• full-tempered used on the pierces and decks of ships
• hollow. This board has a smaller weight, and therefore, a smaller price.
• with PVC polymer. Have better wear resistance, great resistance to ultraviolet, durability
• with polyethylene. Differs low cost
• grinded boards
• brushes processed, that is, aged
• embossed having texture pattern
• embossing, with natural wood texture.

Installing DPK boards easier than wooden boards.

Production of wood-polymer composite

DPK is an innovative material, the manufacturing technology of which is based on mixing flour, PE, PP, PVC and other components using special equipment, according to established standards.

In order to create a polymer composite, it is necessary, first of all, chop wood raw materials. After grinding, wood needs to be carefully dried. Next follows the step of clear weighing and measuring components. After mixing all ingredients, the material is extruded. The final stage of production is pruning in length, as well as cutting in width.

DPK production scheme is very similar to the creation of chipboard. However, the implementation of the process takes place on the equipment of the chemical type, i.e. Plastic industry. Such installations are quite compact, that is, they do not need a large room for them. Enterprises producing DPK are effective even with small volumes of production, therefore, incomparable with the scale of chipboard or MDF factories.

Polymer Composite Market

Today, the global DPT market is in the growth stage, and every year is growing at about 18-20%. According to the latest data, even the American market is not observed in the American market. In the coming years, the consumption and production of wood-polymer composites is expected.

Taking into account the periods life cycle The market, the dynamics of growth of consumption and production in Russia and other states, the potential of the Russian market of wood-filled composites of colossal.

The scope of use of this material is very wide. In Russia, the main area of \u200b\u200buse is the construction. Also, according to analysts, in the coming years, wood composites will be actively used in the automotive industry and in the manufacture of furniture.

This material is highly resistant to the effect of the external environment, temperature drops, it is more durable in comparison with wood and wood plates. Such properties are extremely important in conditions of harsh climate most of our state. Production of outdoor furniture objects from DPT (shops, railings, flooring) is characterized by higher quality. Due to the ability of wood polymers to take any form during production, furniture makers have the possibility of wider use of design elements and creative ideas During the design of furniture.

It is no secret that natural wood has a fairly limited service life and is very exposed to all sorts of aggressive natural factors. This is exactly what the desire of people is explained to find a substitute for wood, similar to properties, but superior it in quality. The result of one of the attempts to create artificial wood was the so-called "Liquid Tree", which will be discussed in this article, in which, along with the site, we will study all its advantages and disadvantages in detail, we will deal with properties and determine the area of \u200b\u200bapplication of this material.

What is a wood polymer composite

Wood-polymer composite: what it is and for what is needed

DPK or, as elsewhere called this material, "Liquid Tree" is the latest development of the chemical industry, which combines all the best quality wood and polymers. If we understand with the composition of this material, it contains wood, grinding into dust and natural or artificial polymer, which is a binding element.

In some cases, chemical additives, which improve these or other properties of this material are included in the tree of the polymer composite. If the composition is in more detail with the composition, then the wood component in the "liquid tree" is contained up to 80% - this material is, in its essence, is made from waste recycling industry. Everything goes into the course - and sawdust, and knots, and non-thendition.

The most interesting thing in this material is that in processing it is completely identical to natural wood - it is sawing, plasted, grind, holes in it are drilled, they are clogged with nails, screw the screws and they can even chop the ax. In general, according to its basic qualities, the ancillast approaches the tree, though with some reservations, expressing in the advantages that composite materials give it.

Arbor from the Polymer Composite Photo

As for the field of applying wood polymer composite, it is used instead of a tree in almost all areas where it is applied. List the entire scope of use of this material is not the meaning, as it is quite extensive. As for construction, high-quality floors are made of it and are used as a material for plating walls.

In addition, along with the already finished products (boards, rails and other products), the "Liquid Tree" paint is also made from this material, which not only imitates the wood structure, but also makes any surface inaccessible to exposure to external factors.

Advantages and disadvantages of wood-polymer composite

Let us go right away to the case immediately, and we will analyze all the advantages that we get when using ancientistry. They are not so little:

• First, moisture resistance, which is several times the same indicator in natural wood.
• Second, strength and wear resistance. The surface of the wood-polymer composite is not what is not erased, it does not even leave any traces of thin female heels with metal knobs. In addition, the DPK is a non-slip material, unlike the lacquered board.

Application sphere Woodoplasty: Terraced board

• Thirdly, it is the stability of temperature drops. Manufacturers claim that the liquid tree can withstand the temperature from -50 ° C to + 180 ° C - it is not necessary to test, it is better to believe them for word. In addition, the polymer components, which are part of the anodol, are perfectly opposed to fungus, mold and are not food or housing for countless insects.
• Fourth, the ease of installation, which is practically no different from working with wood.
• Fifth, unpretentious care. Unlike natural wood, DPK does not require periodic painting or varnishing and even more so does not need to be squared and grinding.
• Sixth, durability. If, again, talk about outdoor coatings From this material, according to the assertions of the manufacturers, a high-quality wood-polymer composite is capable of listening, without losing its primary species, for half a century. As a rule, the floor of natural wood after 3-5 years requires re-painting and minor repairs.

In general, it seems that the ideal material that has no shortcomings is found for humanity. In addition to one - value, which, as a rule, does not fall below $ 80 per one square meter. Although, if you compare it with wood and take into account all the above advantages, it is not very expensive.

How to make a liquid tree with your own hands: features technology

Another important advantage of the wood-polymer composite is that it is enough to make it enough at home. Of course, this will not be the material that is produced at the factory, but its most simple analogue makes it quite real. Ask why you need it? Well, at least in order to repair the door of the locker, from which the root broke the canopy. It's just that in the dilapidated chipboard, do not spin self-sufficiency, and the liquid tree is completely able to restore its former strength.

How to make a liquid tree do it yourself photo

It makes a liquid tree with their own hands just enough - everything that will be needed for this, these are sawdust and pva. Yes, yes, almost all the masters are familiar with this material, the work of which, one way or another, is related to the tree. Saws are interrupted into dust using an ordinary coffee grinder and mixed with PVA to obtain a thick paste.

Subsequently, this paste is superimposed on the damaged area of \u200b\u200bwood and after it is frozen (3-4 hours) is inspired by sandpaper. In addition, if it is necessary to give a color to this material, the dye is added to the paste. If you choose the right color, then with the help of such homemade putty, it can easily be eliminated by defects even in or.

How to close the hole in the furniture using a liquid tree

Wood-polymer composite, no matter how approved manufacturers, is not a panacea and completely replace natural wood. In some cases, its qualitative characteristics, of course, will be indispensable, but in others, alas will not help. For example, for the manufacture, this material is suitable for the least.
