Effects of EVA on the Weathering Resistance Performance of Wood Plastic Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wood plastic composite (WPC) in this study was made from high density polyethylene (DHPE) or low density polyethylene (LDPE) with different species wood flour using extrusion. Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) was used to improve the weathering resistance performance of WPC. Degradation test and ageing test were employed to study the weathering stability of WPC modified by EVA. The results show that EVA can improve the ageing resistant performance of WPC and have no significant effect on the degradation resistant performance of WPC. It suggests that EVA can be used to improve the weathering resistance performance of WPC.
