WPCs are composites containing a wood component in particle form (wood particles/wood flour) and a polymer matrix. They are used in a variety of structural and non-structural applications ranging from component and product prototyping to outdoor decking. Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are roughly 50:50 mixtures of thermoplastic polymers and small wood particles. WPC can be manufactured in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, and with different surface textures. WPCs made with wood-polypropylene are typically used in automotive applications and consumer products, and these composites have recently been investigated for use in non-structural building profiles.
