Water Absorption and Fire Resistance Performance of Co Extrusion Composite Decking
Tuesday, September 26, 2023In recent years, the low-carbon and environmentally friendly features of co extrusion composite decking have been widely recognized by many consumers. This material is frequently used in people’s lives, especially in outdoor patios, gardens, and river banks, and its applications are highly diversified.
Introduction to co extrusion composite decking
The advantages of co extrusion composite decking are self-evident. It is often seen in outdoor public places such as scenic area boardwalks and park squares. Replacing anti-corrosion wood engineering with this material not only protects the environment but also saves installation costs. Moreover, its installation is straightforward. This indirectly reflects that the merits of this kind of flooring are worthy of recognition and deserve to be promoted vigorously. Traditional wood is not waterproof or anti-corrosion and is prone to deformation, brittleness, and cracks after prolonged use. This is especially true when used in water environments such as lakesides and riverbanks or in rainy and humid areas. Co extrusion composite decking can play its advantages well in such situations.
Understanding the water absorption rate and fire resistance of co extrusion composite decking
The water absorption rate of co extrusion composite decking has been measured by relevant departments and is approximately only 0.2%. This indicates that this new, green material has excellent waterproof and moisture resistance capabilities and is resistant to insects and corrosion during use. Its chemical stability is excellent, and its hardness is super strong.
In terms of fire resistance, wood-plastic co-extruded flooring is also excellent. It has super-strong fire resistance and extinguishes itself when it encounters fire, reducing the incidence of safety hazards and not producing harmful substances. Why do many places choose co extrusion composite decking for outdoor use, even if it experiences wind and rain? Its performance and quality are not affected at all. The service life of this material is significantly higher than that of traditional wood-like materials, and even long-distance transportation is not a concern due to its good quality.
After installing co extrusion composite decking, it can be used directly without waiting. There is no need for frequent maintenance or repairs in the later period. Given that various colors of co extrusion composite decking are available on the market, you can choose according to your specific situation. Different colors create different atmospheres, and different styles produce different effects.
