What kind of wood is this?
When people see Poly Wood furniture for the first time they often ask "what kind of wood is this?". What distinguishes Polywood outdoor patio furniture, in addition to style and comfort, is that there is no wood in this furniture at all but a "high performance" lumber substitute. It has been proven far superior to natural wood in resisting the effects of weather. Polywood manufacture and engineer their products from polyresins, recycled plastics, and HDPE (high density polyethylene); then craft it to look and feel like wood.
The Poly-wood Famous Recycled Milk Jug Lumber
Poly-Wood®'s lumber is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), UV-inhibited pigment systems, foaming compounds, and selected process additives. The HDPE primary raw material is derived from post-consumer bottle waste, such as milk and detergent bottles or other HDPE post industrial material. This material is cleaned by a decontamination process to a high purity level, which removes contaminants such as food residue, paper, and adhesives. It is then compounded into a rigid board stock material; with the resulting finished product containing over 90% recycled plastic by weight.
Because HDPE products are made with a single, purified polymer, they are manufactured to exacting, reproducible specifications. They have exceptional resistance to corrosive substances, oil and fuels, insects, fungi, salt spray, and other environmental stresses. They do not absorb moisture; therefore, they will not rot, splinter, or crack. HDPE products have excellent weathering resistance; however, as with other polyolefins, it is possible that the material will fade slightly over the service life of the product. These products require no water proofing, painting, staining, or similar maintenance when used in many exterior applications.
