How does resin thermal stability affect processing temperatures in WPC manufacturing?
Resin thermal stability plays a critical role in determining the optimal processing temperatures during Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) manufacturing. High thermal stability allows resins to withstand elevated temperatures without degrading, ensuring consistent material flow and moldability. If the resin lacks sufficient stability, excessive heat can cause polymer chain breakdown, leading to weakened mechanical properties and surface defects in the final product. Manufacturers must carefully balance temperature settings to avoid overheating while ensuring proper melting and dispersion of wood fibers. Understanding this relationship helps optimize production efficiency and product quality in WPC fabrication.
