What Are Treated Wood, PE Wood-Plastic Composites, and Reconstituted Bamboo?Treated WoodTreated wood is ordinary timber that has been infused with chemical preservatives to provide resistance against decay, moisture, fungi, insects, termites, mold, and water. It is suitable for direct contact with soil and humid environments. PE Wood-Plastic CompositePE wood-plastic composite refers to a composite material made by using polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as substitutes for traditional resin adhesives. These are mixed with 35%–70% wood flour, rice husk, straw, or other waste plant fibers. The mixture is then processed through extrusion, compression molding, or injection molding to form what is known as extruded WPC. Reconstituted BambooReconstituted bamboo uses Phyllostachys edulis (moso bamboo) as its main raw material. Through modern equipment and processes—including dehumidification, drying, anticorrosion, moisture protection, gluing, high-pressure forming, and planing—it is manufactured into a new type of flooring material.

Characteristics of Reconstituted BambooReconstituted bamboo has inherent resistance to decay and can reach Durability Class I even without added preservatives. It features a natural and clear grain pattern, is environmentally friendly, and meets the material requirements of landscape projects. It is widely used in boardwalks, docks, pavilions, courtyards, corridors, and other outdoor landscape structures. Thanks to carbonization treatment, it also provides reliable mold resistance. Its greatest strength lies in the efficient use of bamboo fibers—maximizing material utilization while preserving the original mechanical properties of bamboo. In SummaryCompared with treated wood and PE wood-plastic composites, reconstituted bamboo demonstrates superior overall performance. For this reason, it is poised to become the mainstream choice for future outdoor decking materials. |
