North Wood Plastics' natural fiber-filled compounds provide a unique opportunity to boost stiffness, improve dimensional stability and reduce the heat-retaining capacity of the material. It also reduces the specific gravity compared to other mineral-filled alternatives.

In extrusion applications natural fiber-filled compounds provide exceptional stiffness and economies through reduced raw material costs and low specific gravity. These materials are finding success in a variety of applications — from window profiles to decking.

In molding applications these materials reduce molding cycle times by as much as 30%. Parts cool faster because the natural fibers don’t retain heat as much as the resin portion of the compound does. And because these filled compounds shrink less and cool faster they can be molded with thicker wall sections with reduced tendency toward sink marks.
