Yongte Co-extrusion Technology Innovation Breakthrough, Wood-Plastic Profile Industry Ushers in New Development
Recently, in the field of wood-plastic profiles, Yongte has achieved significant results with its outstanding technological innovation and successfully applied co-extrusion technology to wood-plastic WPC profile extrusion production lines. This series of measures has brought remarkable results in product performance improvement, appearance design diversification, production efficiency improvement, cost control optimization and sustainable development promotion, setting a new benchmark for the entire industry.
In terms of product performance improvement, co-extrusion technology has shown strong advantages. Professional testing has shown that the wear resistance of the protective layer formed by the application of co-extrusion technology on the surface of wood-plastic profiles is about 30% higher than that of traditional wood-plastic profiles. Taking outdoor wood-plastic flooring as an example, in the use scenario of simulating pedestrian traffic of 500 people per day and friction frequency of tables and chairs 20 times per week, after 12 consecutive months of testing, the surface wear depth of the wood-plastic flooring using co-extrusion technology is only 0.1 mm, while the surface wear depth of traditional products has reached 0.15 mm.
In terms of anti-fouling performance, the low surface energy material used in the co-extrusion layer reduces the stain adsorption rate on the surface of the wood-plastic profile by more than 40%. In actual surveys of places with high cleaning requirements such as hospitals and shopping malls, it was found that the cleaning frequency of areas using co-extrusion technology wood-plastic profiles can be reduced by about 30% compared with areas using traditional wood-plastic profiles, significantly reducing the cost and difficulty of cleaning and maintenance. At the same time, in terms of weather resistance, after two years of outdoor exposure experiments, the performance retention rate of wood-plastic profiles using co-extrusion technology in resisting aging, fading and deformation caused by factors such as ultraviolet rays, rain and temperature changes has increased by about 25% compared with ordinary wood-plastic profiles. For example, the degree of color fading is only 10% after two years, while the degree of fading of ordinary wood-plastic profiles has reached 30%.
According to market data, consumers' demand for high-performance and beautiful wood-plastic profiles is growing rapidly. Yongte Company has achieved diversified appearance designs through co-extrusion technology, accurately meeting market demand. In terms of color selection, up to 20 different colors of wood-plastic profiles can be produced at present. In a large-scale building decoration project, the colored wood-plastic profiles produced by Yongte's co-extrusion technology have gained great attention in the market because of their perfect integration with the overall design style, which has led to an increase of about 20% in the purchase volume of similar projects in the surrounding areas for such products.
In terms of texture effect, the co-extrusion layer can realistically simulate a variety of textures such as wood grain, stone grain, and cloth grain, which not only makes the appearance of the wood-plastic profile more refined, but also improves the anti-slip performance in some special application scenarios. According to data from market research institutions, in places where anti-slip is required, such as outdoor landscape trails and indoor toilets, the project uses co-extruded wood-plastic profiles with anti-slip textures, and its user experience has been significantly improved. A random survey of 500 users found that in places where co-extruded wood-plastic profiles with anti-slip textures are used, 80% of users believe that the anti-slip effect during walking or use is significantly better than places where such products are not used, and they highly evaluate the overall aesthetics and practicality, with an overall satisfaction rate of 90%; while in similar places where such products are not used, users' evaluation of anti-slip effect and overall satisfaction is relatively low, with an overall satisfaction rate of only 75%.
In addition, Yongte's co-extrusion technology also performs well in production efficiency and cost control. The main body molding and surface co-extrusion treatment of wood-plastic profiles are completed on the same extrusion line at the same time, which increases the production efficiency by about 20% compared with the traditional production method. Taking the monthly production task as an example, the traditional production method can produce 5,000 meters of wood-plastic profiles per month, and the co-extrusion technology can produce 6,000 meters per month, which effectively shortens the product delivery cycle and meets the market's demand for rapid supply. In addition, by accurately controlling the temperature, pressure and other parameters in the co-extrusion process, the product defective rate is reduced to less than 5%. In the past year, through the statistics of production batches, the proportion of defective products produced by co-extrusion technology to the total production volume was 4% on average, while this proportion was about 10% under traditional production methods.
In terms of cost, by reasonably adjusting the co-extrusion layer material and thickness, different performance and requirements can be met without changing the core material of the wood-plastic profile, which reduces the production cost by about 15%. Taking the production cost of each meter of wood-plastic profile as an example, the cost per meter is 80 yuan under traditional production methods, and the cost per meter can be reduced to 68 yuan after co-extrusion technology is adopted. This cost advantage makes Yongte's products more price competitive in the market competition. According to statistics, in the past year, Yongte has achieved a market share growth of about 10% with this technology. From the market share data, Yongte's market share was 15% before the application of co-extrusion technology, and it increased to 20% after the application. 25%.
It is worth mentioning that co-extruded wood-plastic profiles also have outstanding advantages in recycling. According to relevant research, when recycling co-extruded wood-plastic profiles, they can be separated and recycled according to different material characteristics. The wood-plastic base material and the co-extruded layer material can be recycled and processed and reused to produce wood-plastic profiles or other plastic products, and the material utilization rate can reach more than 80%. In a survey of many recycling companies, it was found that the material reuse rate of recycled co-extruded wood-plastic profiles reached an average of 82%, while the material reuse rate of traditional wood-plastic profiles was only about 60%, which is of great significance for promoting the sustainable development of the entire industry, and is also in line with the current market's high attention and demand for environmentally friendly products.
Yongte's successful application of co-extrusion technology on the wood-plastic WPC profile extrusion production line is undoubtedly a major boost to the wood-plastic profile industry, and is expected to lead the industry to a new level in multiple dimensions such as product performance, appearance design, production efficiency, cost control and sustainable development, and bring more high-quality, beautiful and environmentally friendly wood-plastic profile products to consumers.
