EN 15534-1:2014+A1:2017 (E) 7 Introduction The denomination “wood-polymer composites”, WPC, is usually used to designate materials or products consisting of one or more natural fibres or flours and one or a mixture of polymer(s). Natural fibres and flours come from different plant sources (e.g. wood, hemp, flax, sisal, coconut, cotton, kenaf, jute, abaca, banana leaf fibres, bamboo, rice, wheat straw or other fibrous material) and different polymers, virgin or recycled, are used. Currently, the most commonly used polymers are poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). WPC materials can be processed by different techniques, as extrusion for profiles, calendering for films and sheets, injection moulding or compression moulding. The contents of natural fibres and polymers depend on the application and the processing techniques. WPC materials may be considered neither as filled plastics nor as a special kind of wood. They should be considered as different materials having their own characteristics. For the moment, the main applications of WPC products are decking, cladding, panelling and fencing and furniture.
