Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are a combination of wood and plastic materials that offer a range of benefits over traditional wood products. WPCs are more durable, require less maintenance, and are more resistant to weathering and decay than traditional wood products. However, WPCs can be prone to wear and tear due to their composite nature. To ensure the longevity of WPCs, it is important to use the right lubricant for wood plastics composites.

Lubricants for wood plastics composites come in a variety of forms, including oils, waxes, greases, and polymers. Each type of lubricant has its own unique properties that make it suitable for different applications. Oils are typically used as a general-purpose lubricant for WPCs because they provide good protection against wear and tear while also providing some water resistance. Waxes provide excellent protection against moisture but can be difficult to apply evenly on large surfaces. Greases provide excellent protection against wear and tear but can be difficult to remove from surfaces once applied. Polymers provide excellent protection against wear and tear but can be expensive compared to other types of lubricants.

Thus, No matter which type of lubricant you choose for your WPCs, you need to know which benefit you’d like to achieve. besides, it is important to ensure that it is compatible with both the wood and plastic components of the composite material before use.

In general, silicone-based lubricants are often recommended for WPCs due to their low toxicity and resistance to water and heat. Silicone-based lubricants also provide excellent protection against wear and tear caused by friction between the wood and plastic components of the composite.

SILIKE Launched SILIMER 5322 lubricant masterbatch, It is a newly developed silicone copolymer with special groups which has excellent compatibility with wood powder, a small addition of it (w/w) can improve the quality of WPC in an efficient manner while reducing production costs and no need secondary treatment.
