The difference between co-extrusion wpc decking and wpc decking

　　Wpc decking has been developed for many years and is now an ideal alternative to traditional wood floors. Made from recycled wood and polymer, it is stronger and requires less maintenance than traditional wood floors.

　　What is co-extrusion wpc decking?

　　Co-extrusion wpc decking is composed of functional plastics (mainly HDPE, PP) and natural fibers (wood flour), adding a certain amount of additives (anti-UV agent, antioxidant, coupling agent, lubricant, toner, etc.), Wood-plastic composite products with surface layer and core layer processed by special compounding and molding equipment.

　　The biggest difference between co-extrusion wpc decking and wpc decking is that an additional layer of polymer shell is added. This shell is fully surrounded by four sides and extruded at the same time as the inner core board at high temperatures. This technology is called co-extrusion technology.

　　Ordinary wpc decking will have a slight color fading phenomenon in the first few weeks of use, and the color will stabilize after a period of time. When cleaning, if the stains remain on the floor for a long time without treatment, these stains will affect the anti-mold performance of the floor. The co-extruded wood floor can provide excellent stain resistance and mildew resistance due to the addition of a protective layer. Generally, the stains can be wiped clean and can maintain excellent color for a long time.

　　Although co-extrusion wpc decking requires less maintenance, it is also not maintenance-free with wpc decking. Leaves and other debris need to be removed from the floor regularly. If it is dirty, it can be washed with a soft brush and soapy water to keep the floor in the best condition.
