NewTech WPC's are mainly derived from cellulose fibers and the various polymers for each specific product and different additives to help UV stabilization and other necessary conditions. When these two materials are combined, careful thought and consideration is given to the proper mixing ratio of each component and the various additives used to provide a high quality, low cost material that we are able to provide you our valued customer.

Cellulose fiber is typically added to reduce cost, increase strength and provide higher dimensional stability with minimal expansion and
contraction. Polymers are much more likely to expand and contract with temperature changes than cellulose.

Cellulose fiber, on the other hand, is more likely to absorb water, grow mold, mildew and stain as a result of spills or unfavorable weather
conditions.

The proper size of the fibers is a critical element for the smooth compounding and extrusion processes and the key in setting the final physical and mechanical properties of the product manufactured. This allows NewTech products to offer you better flexural strengths, load capacities,flexible designs, chemical resistance, water resistance and resistance to wood eating insects at a range of competitive prices.

FAQs

A:

Q:	What is NewTechTM composite lumber?
A:	NewTechTM is a virtually maintenance free replacement for wood, concrete or metal used in construction. Composite lumber looks and feels just like wood. NewTechTM is a permanently colored product that will not splinter, crumble, or eaten by insects.
Q:	What can I build with NewTechTM composite lumber?
A:	NewTechTM is an ideal product for Decks, Railing, Docks, Siding, Bulkheads, Landscaping, Fencing, Window and Door Trim, Benches, Picnic Tables AND Waste Bins. Any outdoor project that requires repair or replacement in a few years. The uses are limited only by your imagination.
Q:	Does NewTechTM come in standard lumber sizes and lengths?
A:	We manufacture a wide variety of nominal lumber sizes including 10', 12', 16' 18' and special order 20' lengths. We offer the standard 5/4" deck board with the new hidden fastener system providing a clean finish with no nails or screws showing.
Q:	Is NewTechTM really maintenance and paint free?
A:	Yes! The NewTechTM Color is all the way through the material. Because NewTechTM sheds water naturally it never needs waterproofing, painting, staining and will never rot, crack, decay, split or splinter. When installed correctly there will be no maintenance other than periodic cleaning.
Q:	What colors can I choose from?
A:	Our standard colors are beige, grey, brown, rose, red and now walnut and mahogany.
Q:	How strong is NewTechTM?
A:	NewTechTM produced with a proprietary blend of plastic and cellulose fiber. The cellulose fiber contained in NewTechTM does not allow the amount of water absorption experienced by the wood contained in most composite materials. NewTechTM has many superior features than most of the competitors brands.
Q:	What will occur if a chemical or gasoline is spilled on New TechTM?
A:	NewTechTM composite lumber produced with a non-chemical reactive polymer base. This is the same plastic used to hold chemicals found in your local grocery store. Any chemical or gasoline must be removed immediately to prevent the cellulose fiber from staining.
Q:	When the sun is beaming down on NewTechTM composite lumber, will it be too hot to walk on?
A:	NewTechTM in direct sunlight, the darker colors will be 20 degrees F hotter than the ambient temperature. White composite lumber runs about 15 degrees F cooler than ambient temperature. Beige and light gray run about 10 degrees F-15 degrees F hotter than ambient temperature. Remember if NewTechTM is in the shade it will not be any hotter than the temperature of the air. It is recommended that you should not walk barefoot on your deck with temperatures above 90 degrees F if your deck is exposed to direct sunlight.
Q:	Will New TechTM color fade because of exposure to the sun?
A:	ULTRA-VIOLET inhibitors have been added to New TechTM to reduce color fading due to extensive sun exposure. A slight change in color will occur but will retain this lighter shade through out the life of the product. Please refer to the color chart for color changes.
