Polywood or plastic lumber is composed of virgin or waste plastics including HDPE, PVC, PP,
ABS, PS and PLA. Additives such as colorants & stabilizers are introduced during melting process
to ensure bonding to plastic at a cellular level.
It is waterproof and resists all types of rot and mould, although it is not as rigid as wood and
may slightly deform in hot weather. Again in hot weather surface can become soft or supple,
product should not be exposed to direct heat. Care should be taken to use table cloths and
placemats to avert marking Polywood.
