    Resysta meets tomorrow´s technical and ecological demands. Owing to its durability and sustainability, completely new designs are possible. The fibre reinforced hybrid material is produced of approx. 60% rice husk, approx. 22% common salt and approx. 18% mineral oil, which makes it both environmentally friendly as well as extremely weather resistant against sun, rain, snow or salt water. At the same time, Resysta requires minimal care and offers the look and feel of wood. Water resistant surfaces with the look of wood are Resysta´s future.

    THERES A CERTAIN BEAUTY


    about wood that makes it an
    essential for aesthetic applications.
    Its earthly colour and unique texture
    mystifyingly create a pleasant and
    cosy ambient especially when
    used for making decks, docks,
    railings, porches, garden benches,
    walkways, stairs, pool surrounds
    and so on.
    Unfortunately, there arent many
    tropical forests left to supply trees.
    Governments have taken drastic
    measures to minimize deforestation.

    Deforestation is the clearing of


    tropical forests on a large-scale
    basis and its greatly responsible
    for global warming. This increase
    in global temperatures in return
    may drive many plants and animals
    to extinction, which will then upset
    the balance of the environment. In
    the 1980s, its estimated that 53,
    000 square miles (about the size
    of 21,448,344 soccers fields) of
    tropical forests were destroyed
    each year and to date scientists
    estimate up to 137 living species
    disappear annually.

    So what can we do? One effective


    way is to decrease the need for
    products that are harvested from
    the tropical forests. If demand is
    diminished, supply will decline and
    logging companies will have no
    reason to exist.
    But this doesnt mean our creativity
    and imagination for construction
    will have to be forsaken due to the
    love for the environment. Theres
    Exwood, a recycleable timberalternative raw material, which you
    can explore.

    We people in Exwood are committed to providing consumers ecologically


    sound products to enhance their lives without the expense of Mother Nature.
    By substituting outdoor timbers and accepting its alternative, we would
    reduce the dependency on timbers & hence reduce the logging of trees &
    eliminate the illegal logging industries, while at the same time saving the
    environment for the mutual benefit of mankind.
    Remember : Renewable, Recyclable and Sustainable.

    All can make a difference in the environment today & tomorrow.

    WHAT ON EARTH IS EXWOOD?


    With a vision to develop
    an eco-friendly alternative
    material to wood and one
    that looks, feels and shares
    comparable characteristics
    to timber EXWOOD was
    introduced.
    The two main problems
    for eco-friendly, wood-

    alternative products in the


    past were there wasn't any
    kind of material available
    that shared the same
    physical characteristics and
    workability as timber, and it
    was just too expensive to
    create one.

    and analysis, EXWOOD


    noted that PVC was the
    base
    polymer
    whose
    characteristics were closest
    to the requirements in terms
    of mechanical properties,
    resistance to atmospheric
    agents, workability and,
    most importantly, price.

    EXWOOD THE MATERIAL


    EXWOODTM is a hybrid of engineering
    composite material made from a combination
    of organic fibre and post-consumer recycled
    plastics. It is designed to replace timber in
    its primary applications.

    Presently, the technology enables the


    material to be made with over 50% by weight
    of organic fibre in the composite matrix.

    Since the production of EXWOODTM requires


    no virgin wood resource and it does not
    contain any sealant or wood preservative, it
    EXWOODTM can be processed using is environmentally superior.
    conventional thermoplastic processes
    such as extrusion and injection moulding.

    EXWOOD Applications?
    EXWOOD is particularly
    suitable
    for
    outdoor
    applications where natural
    wood has a high propensity
    to rot.

    its also used in engineering


    applications
    such
    as
    cold room anchor rails
    and internal non- loading
    supporting profiles.

    Typical applications are in


    the construction of garden
    benches, decking, fencing
    and gazebos.

    EXWOOD ADVANTAGES
    -

    EXWOOD is weather-resistant. It absorbs very little moisture


    so it will not rot in extremely wet environment. Additives can be
    added to further enhance specific performances such as UV,
    mildew or fungus resistance properties

    EXWOOD can be recycled completely and reprocessed without


    any significant deterioration in performance

    EXWOOD will not support combustion and give off toxic fumes
    when burned

    EXWOOD profiles are dimensionally stable. Parts with close


    tolerances can be reproduced reliably on commercial scales. In
    addition, EXWOOD is resitant to termite attack

    EXWOOD products can be coloured with integral pigment added


    into the composite. Overtime, all EXWOOD colours will weather
    to a lighter tone similar to natural wood

    EXWOOD profiles and components can be produced as net


    shape items. This eliminates unnecessary milling and fabrication costs

    EXWOOD profiles can be fabricated with conventional wood


    working machinery or welded using plastic hot-plate welding
    machines

    EXWOOD uses short fibres. Components made out of it wont
