TPE foam board(CELLwood®)

"The problem of wood material is waterproof. Therefore, the excellent physical properties of polymer materials are combined with high-pressure micro-foaming processing technology to develop environmentally friendly material “CELLwood® “. It does not add any wood powder or sawdust to the material during the manufacturing By using the special material formula and high-pressure micro-foaming technology, an innovative material with wood texture is made. The foams of the materials are all ""Closecells"", and the materials are not added with any wood powder (Generally, most of the commercially available substitute wood use wood powder and wood chips combined with plastic for forming), so it is 100% waterproof, stable and not easy to deform, and can be recycled and reused. Without any wood powder or sawdust, the material can be restored and reused, it can be waterproof without post-treatment used for indoors and outdoors. The material is very woody, and the density is similar to wood with the lightweight of approximately 0.6-0.7g/cm3 and strong machinability. The processing behavior of this material is similar to ordinary wood, which can be planed, sawed, cut, nailed, drilled, milled, and ground, etc. It’s rigid and durable which is similar in nature to teak), easy to be processed by thermoplastics, and can be freely processed into various curved shapes. It can be used in furniture and furnishings, outdoor pavement wood, guardrails, fences, wooden products used in humid environments(such as bathrooms ). It is suitable for both frigid and tropical regions, and the applicable temperature range of the material is -30°C-90°C." more
