Only 8% people are aware of the difference between a good WPC and a bad WPC , mostly who are associated with institutions or companies
Despite being a COMPOSITE, ALSTONE WPC is composed of a biodegradable material other than plastic like agriculture residues like Cotton stalks, Coir fibers, and even Rice Husk. WPC is made from waste products and 100% recycled materials made of wood mass, wood waste, agriculture waste, and Plastic waste.
Accordingly, when compared to the felling, stripping, and lumbering of natural wood, the production of WPC is more environmentally friendly. Because the extrusion process allows nearly 100% material usages, there is almost no waste of the recycled input materials used in making WPC. It is free from emissions like Formaldehyde, Melamine/Phenol which we know in wood due to binders like Urea.
The market for WPC/PVC board in India is measuring quality with the weight of the board and its pricing but hardly few are aware that only weight is not the right parameter to check quality.
Judging Board quality based on price and weight Instead of the screw holding, foam formation, uniformity of foaming, adequate hardness, and undulation in board kind of properties is a result of lack of knowledge and awareness. Not all WPC products are made the same, the quality of the product will depend on the quality of material used and the advanced technology used.
Deepanker Garg from Alstone sited that the primary consideration would be high-quality raw material (wood/cellulose powder and polymer grade). UV stabilizers and other additives play an important role against fading and degeneration in our tropical weather conditions. Also importantly, the quality of extrusion and finishing are results of advanced technology and machinery, which eventually define the look and feel of the finished product. All of these prerequisites are taken care of at ALSTONE to produce the best quality WPC boards for society. But The primary challenge in India will be when WPC is commoditized. Dumping of low cost and in turn, low-quality material will be a deterrent to WPC evolving as a material of the future, he further adds.
Due to their lightweight nature, they are usually used on terraces and balconies. Flower pots and landscaped materials are now widely available made in WPCs as they can be given any desired look and feel due to their availability to be
molded and imprinted on it.
ALSTONE WPCs being anti-corrosion, antibacterial and anti-aging are also used as a flooring material for interiors replacing hardwood or engineered wood floorings as splintering and warping don’t take place in it. WPCs are now been widely used for partitions in bathrooms, kitchens, and for wall cladding materials inside bathrooms, and as false ceiling materials too.
