What are the fire resistance properties of WPC vs. resin?

When it comes to fire resistance, both WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) and resin have unique properties that make them suitable for different applications. WPC is known for its moderate fire resistance due to its composition of wood fibers and plastic, which can slow down the spread of flames. However, it is not inherently flame retardant and may require additional treatments to enhance its fire safety. On the other hand, resin, especially thermosetting resins like epoxy or polyester, often exhibits better fire resistance due to its chemical structure. Some resins are inherently flame retardant, making them a preferred choice for applications where fire safety is critical. Both materials can be further enhanced with additives to improve their fire resistance, but resin generally offers a higher level of protection against flames and heat. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the right material for construction, furniture, or other design projects where fire safety is a priority.
