Summary:

Wood plastic composite (WPC) is a product combining useful properties both wood and plastic material. By means of obtaining the best properties, WPC can be used in many applications.

In this study, it was investigated physical properties of pure termoset polyester panels and polyester based panels produced by using wood materials. Also, general properties of WPC were defined.

It was determined that effect of wood materials with different screen size and its proportion of use on physical properties.

Physical properties of WPC panels had higher physical properties in contrast to wood composite panels such as Particleboard, MDF, and OSB.
