PHA in PVC-WPC applications<br />
In a recent blog posted by Metabolix Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications, Lynne Brum, the use<br />
of Metabolix I6003 PHAs in WPC was touted as a “cost effective solution which imparts superior mechanical properties and<br />
process benefits in wood filled PVC building materials.”<br />
Wood fiber polymer composites (WPC), wrote Brum, are materials made by combining wood particles or other fibrous materials with<br />
polymer resins and additives to improve performance. WPCs, which require little maintenance have become popular replacements<br />
for solid wood. Common applications for these composites are in products such as decking, fences, railings and outdoor landscaping<br />
features. PVC is one of the key base polymers used in wood polymer composites for decking and railing systems.<br />
Miscibility between PVC and plasticizer is essential for good performance. PHA and PVC materials are highly miscible and<br />
moreover, have similar processing windows. Because of their miscibility with PVC, the PHA additives will not migrate out of the<br />
PVC and are easy to handle and process under the same conditions as PVC.<br />
Exploring the use of Metabolix I6003 PHAs in WPC, it was found that I6003, a<br />
multifunctional process aid, acted as an efficient fusion promoter, improved wood filler<br />
incorporation and dispersion, and significantly reduced torque in the extrude.<br />
Metabolix has worked with customers to develop new PVC-WPC formulations<br />
for decking and railing systems. Incorporating Metabolix PHA material into these<br />
formulations at a low loading level, made it possible to increase the proportion of wood<br />
flour used and at the same time to decrease the amount of PVC needed. The data<br />
generated by Metabolix showed that during processing, the addition of PHA, even at<br />
a low level, reduced torque and improved processing of the wood polymer composite<br />
material. For railing applications, the end-product also exhibited significantly improved<br />
mechanical properties and surface finish.<br />
This work demonstrates that PHA materials can offer significant performance benefits<br />
– and consequently costs advantages, as well – in PVC wood polymer composite systems.<br />
Brum said the company is looking forward to working with PVC wood polymer composite<br />
manufacturers to develop new solutions for decking and railing systems. KL<br />
