Germany introduces moldable plastic materials

According to reports, the German Langhofer Chemical Technology Research Institute has recently developed a plastic-wood material that can be molded like a plastic. It can be used to mold wood products such as floors, doors and windows, and furniture, and can also be used to make televisions. Machine, computer casings, packing boxes (boxes) and car doors and fenders, etc.
The appearance of this moldable plastic wood material was favored by furniture manufacturers, packaging materials, and decorative materials. Swedish IKEA furniture company believes that the new type of plastic wood material can almost reach the performance of natural wood, with its molded products, free sawing and planing, no different from the products made of natural wood, even due to temperature changes caused The degree of shrinkage or expansion is also no different from natural wood.
According to Holmø Nigler, who conducted the study, this moldable plastic wood material has a wide range of uses and can be used not only to mold floors, doors and windows and other decorative materials, furniture and boxes (boxes), etc. And more importantly, it can be used to make wood products combined with metal parts. In the past, since plastics and metals swelled more than wood, cracking of wooden parts was prone to occur. Now that parts made of wood and plastic materials are used, this problem can be avoided.
