Decking: Structure, Manufactoring, Properties. Part 2: Theral Properies, Water absorption, Abrasion, Hardness, Resistance to Climatic Influences, the use of Recycled Polymers

Literature data and results of own studies of thermal properties, water absorption, wearing property, hardness and resistance of terrace boards to climatic impacts are stated. The possibilities to use secondary polymers as binders are briefly analyzed. Terrace boards are made of wood-polymer composites. Main matrix polymers are polyvinylchloride, polyethylene, and polypropylene. Studies show that terrace boards of the Savewood Company on the basis of PVC have the following characteristics: softening temperature – about 200 Cо, coefficient of linear thermal expansion measured along the length of a sample – 20.8–27.1 К-1.10-6, water absorption – 1.25%, Brinell hardness – 580 MPa. The material has a high resistance to climatic impacts. Practically all parameters of the terrace board on the basis of polyvinylchloride are superior to similar products where the matrix polymer is polyethylene or polypropylene.
