DESCRIPTION
Resysta meets tomorrow´s technical and ecological demands. Owing to its durability and sustainability, completely new designs are possible. The fibre reinforced hybrid material is produced of approx. 60% rice husk, approx. 22% common salt and approx. 18% mineral oil, which makes it both environmentally friendly as well as extremely weather resistant against sun, rain, snow or salt water. At the same time, Resysta requires minimal care and offers the look and feel of wood. Water resistant surfaces with the look of wood are Resysta´s future.

THERES A CERTAIN BEAUTY about wood that makes it an essential for aesthetic applications. Its earthly colour and unique texture mystifyingly create a pleasant and cosy ambient especially when used for making decks, docks, railings, porches, garden benches, walkways, stairs, pool surrounds and so on.
Unfortunately, there arent many tropical forests left to supply trees. Governments have taken drastic measures to minimize deforestation.
Deforestation is the clearing of tropical forests on a large-scale basis and its greatly responsible for global warming. This increase in global temperatures in return may drive many plants and animals to extinction, which will then upset the balance of the environment. In the 1980s, its estimated that 53, 000 square miles (about the size of 21,448,344 soccers fields) of tropical forests were destroyed each year and to date scientists estimate up to 137 living species disappear annually.
So what can we do? One effective way is to decrease the need for products that are harvested from the tropical forests. If demand is diminished, supply will decline and logging companies will have no reason to exist.
But this doesnt mean our creativity and imagination for construction will have to be forsaken due to the love for the environment. Theres Exwood, a recycleable timber-alternative raw material, which you can explore.
We people in Exwood are committed to providing consumers ecologically sound products to enhance their lives without the expense of Mother Nature. By substituting outdoor timbers and accepting its alternative, we would reduce the dependency on timbers & hence reduce the logging of trees & eliminate the illegal logging industries, while at the same time saving the environment for the mutual benefit of mankind.
Remember : Renewable, Recyclable and Sustainable. All can make a difference in the environment today & tomorrow.TCBM Co., LTD
WHAT ON EARTH IS EXWOOD?
With a vision to develop an eco-friendly alternative material to wood and one that looks, feels and shares comparable characteristics to timber EXWOOD was introduced.
The two main problems for eco-friendly, wood-
alternative products in the past were there wasn't any kind of material available that shared the same physical characteristics and workability as timber, and it was just too expensive to create one.
After years of research
and analysis, EXWOOD noted that PVC was the base polymer whose characteristics were closest to the requirements in terms of mechanical properties, resistance to atmospheric agents, workability and, most importantly, price.

EXWOOD THE MATERIAL
EXWOODTM is a hybrid of engineering composite material made from a combination of organic fibre and post-consumer recycled plastics. It is designed to replace timber in its primary applications.
EXWOODTM can be processed using conventional thermoplastic processes such as extrusion and injection moulding.
Presently, the technology enables the material to be made with over 50% by weight of organic fibre in the composite matrix.
Since the production of EXWOODTM requires no virgin wood resource and it does not contain any sealant or wood preservative, it is environmentally superior.

EXWOOD Applications?
EXWOOD is particularly suitable for outdoor applications where natural wood has a high propensity to rot.
Typical applications are in the construction of garden benches, decking, fencing and gazebos.
its also used in engineering applications such as cold room anchor rails and internal non- loading supporting profiles.

EXWOOD ADVANTAGES - EXWOOD is weather-resistant. It absorbs very little moisture so it will not rot in extremely wet environment. Additives can be added to further enhance specific performances such as UV, mildew or fungus resistance properties
- EXWOOD can be recycled completely and reprocessed without any significant deterioration in performance
- EXWOOD will not support combustion and give off toxic fumes when burned
- EXWOOD profiles are dimensionally stable. Parts with close tolerances can be reproduced reliably on commercial scales. In addition, EXWOOD is resitant to termite attack
- EXWOOD products can be coloured with integral pigment added into the composite. Overtime, all EXWOOD colours will weather to a lighter tone similar to natural wood
- EXWOOD profiles and components can be produced as net shape items. This eliminates unnecessary milling and fabrication costs
- EXWOOD profiles can be fabricated with conventional wood working machinery or welded using plastic hot-plate welding machines
- EXWOOD uses short fibres. Components made out of it wont splinter, creating safer parts for children
