 What is WPC
?
WPC was born in Italy in the 1970s
popularized in North America in the early 1990s

The term WPCs refers to any composites that contain plant (including
wood and non-wood) fibers and thermosets or thermoplastics.

Thermosets are
plastics that, once
Thermoplastics are
cured, cannot be

repeatedly melted.
 How to
Produce?
» WPCs are normally produced by mixing plant fiber with polymer, or by
adding wood fiber as filler in a polymer matrix, and pressing or molding
under high pressure and temperature.

» Additives : colorants, coupling agents, stabilizers, blowing agents,

reinforcing agents, foaming agents and lubricants
 Why plant fibers?

The properties such as low density, relative high strength, modulus and
stiffness, non-abrasive nature, high level of filler loadings, biodegradability
and safe working environment.
On the other hand, plant fibers are an annually renewable raw material and
their availability is more or less unlimited.

SlidesCarnival icons are editable shapes.

This means that you can:

● Resize them without losing quality.
● Change fill color and opacity.
● Change line color, width and style.

Isn’t that nice? :)

Examples:
� Now you can use any emoji as an icon!
And of course it resizes without losing quality and you can change the color.
