With technology advancing quickly, materials science keeps pushing limits and brings us amazing options that make our lives easier. Today, let’s explore a revolutionary outdoor decoration material — APC technology wood-like aluminum, which is dazzling in the world of decorative materials with its unique charm.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life, there’s a growing desire for natural elements. In outdoor decoration, traditional wood has been an ideal choice for many due to its natural texture and warm feel. However, its short lifespan and high maintenance costs have deterred many. The rise of wood-plastic composites opened new paths for those seeking a natural home environment, with applications like wood plastic composite decking, wall cladding and fencing becoming widespread. Yet, inherent limitations of these materials, such as installation issues with wood plastic composite railing, have left many unsatisfied. Against this background, metal-based wood imitations have emerged, particularly wood-like aluminum, offering unprecedented choices for consumers who seek both natural aesthetics and practicality.
Traditional Wood-Like Aluminum and Features
Wood-like aluminum has long been developed. The production involves four main steps: precise shaping of aluminum based on blueprints, pre-spray treatment to ensure a clean surface for coating adhesion, electrostatic spray coating to evenly apply powder coatings followed by high-temperature curing, and finally, wood grain heat transfer printing where wood grain paper is tightly wrapped and baked to fix, then removing the transfer paper and cleaning the surface.
Even though the process of making wood-like aluminum gives them a wood-like look, the wood grain remains superficial, lacking depth and texture. It’s easy for them to get scratches, which can make them look less nice. Also, when you touch them, they still feel cold and metallic, failing to fully achieve the desired wood effect.
Innovation of Feelingwood APC Technology
Feelingwood APC (Aluminum Core Plastic Coating) Technology is a big step forward from traditional wood-like aluminum. Using advanced co-extrusion technology, it wraps aluminum materials with high-polymer plastics all the way around, making a strong and thick plastic layer. This thick layer gives the aluminum a realistic wood texture and a warm feeling when you touch it. Plus, it’s even more durable and long-lasting than traditional wood-like aluminum, making it a great choice for people who want the look and feel of wood but with the benefits of metal.
Feelingwood APC Technology truly stands out with its innovative design. One of the key features is the unique serrated design of the aluminum core. This design creates a strong and tight bond between the aluminum core and the plastic layer, preventing any surface detachment issues and ensuring the product’s durability. Not only does this design improve the overall strength and stability of the material, but it also allows the product to maintain excellent performance in various harsh environments.
Dual Enhancement in Vision and Touch
Feelingwood APC materials achieve high standards in both appearance and touch. Its wood grain textures are natural and flowing, with warm and full colors that rival real wood. When you touch these materials, you’ll immediately notice the difference from traditional wood-like aluminum. The coldness is completely eliminated, replaced with a warm and delicate wood-like feel that creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of nature.
Additionally, Feelingwood APC wood-like aluminum is not only beautiful, but it’s also incredibly versatile and compatible. It seamlessly integrates with wood plastic composite products, allowing for a wide range of surface coating treatments in matching colors and patterns. This means that you can create a unified and cohesive look throughout your outdoor living space. This flexibility and versatility not only enrich the options for outdoor decoration design, but it also helps to create a more comfortable and harmonious living environment.
As people become more environmentally conscious and demand higher quality materials for their homes, Feelingwood APC wood-like aluminum is perfectly positioned to meet these needs. By partnering with wood plastic composite products, we minimize costs while eliminating the drawbacks of both aluminum and plastic wood, creating a seamless, uniform, natural wooden aesthetic for any outdoor living space.
