How does the inclusion of ceramic microspheres reduce the weight of WPC tree boxes?
The inclusion of ceramic microspheres in Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) tree boxes significantly reduces their weight while maintaining structural strength. These hollow microspheres, made from high-strength ceramic materials, displace heavier components in the composite mixture without compromising durability. Their low density and high compressive strength make them ideal for lightweight applications. By replacing part of the traditional polymer or wood fiber content, ceramic microspheres lower the overall density of WPC tree boxes, making them easier to transport and install. Additionally, they improve thermal insulation and reduce material costs, offering a sustainable solution for urban landscaping projects.
