What the difference between WPC or PVC Foam Board?

WPC is Wood Plastic Composite, and PVC is polymerization of vinyl chloride. They have small kinds of similar, but with some differences.

WPC Material

Wood plastic composite (WPC) is environmentally friendly materials that made of pure or recycled plastic with natural fiber fillers, has excellent mechanical performance. WPC is widely used in outdoor facilities, logistics and transportation, building materials, transportation facilities and furniture.

Using WPC advantages

• Fireproof, moisture and rot-resistant.
• Environment-friendly, corrosion resistance, antibacterial and anti-warping.
• No surface coating. It thereby saves cost and time.
• Can be customized with print and texture.
• Lightweight, durable and easy to maintain.
• Strong plasticity, cutting, nailing, drilling and finishing possible with standard carpentry tools.

PVC Material

Polymerization of vinyl chloride (PVC) is common material that long lasting and used in transport, packaging, electrical and healthcare sector, especially on the building decorative, such as skirting board, wall panel, ceiling, timber tube, corner guard and etc.

Using PVC advantages

• Abrasion resistance, lightweight, mechanical strength, and fireproof.
• Easy to process and long-lasting.
• High definition, organoleptic properties, and less carbon footprint.
• Good sound absorption, fully recyclable and non-toxic.
• Bonding performance is good. It can stick well to wood, metal, masonry, glass and other materials very firmly.
