Wood-plastic composites still growing,but formulations changing

摘要

There is a definite interest in hybrid filler systems among players in the wood-plastic composites industry,reports market analyst James Morton.Hybrid filler systems include both organic fillers,such as wood fibres or agricultural fibres,and inorganic fillers,such as talc and calcium carbonate.Morton,a senior partner with Principia Partners,presented his outlook on the use of performance fillers in thermoplastic composites at a one-day Minitech organized by the Ontario Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers.
