Answer 2

Polywood, Inc. manufactures structural plastic lumber from post-consumer and post-industrial recycled plastics. Using our patented technologies, we’re developing and advancing the use of structural, industrial plastic lumber for uses including:

Railroad crossties
Substructures (joists, beams, posts)
Vehicular and pedestrian bridges
Boardwalks and walkways
Piers and observation platforms,
And much more!
Compare ™ to regular wood:

It’s tougher and more resilient than treated wood
Never splinters
Never warps
Never corrodes
Mildew resistant
Unaffected by termites and other insects, rodents, worms or marine parasites
Resistant to heat, cold, salt and acids
Lowers worldwide consumption of hardwood trees

Answer 3

it is non-toxic to humans and animals, and won’t leach or bleed arsen, heavy metals or chemicals into the soil. It can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering more than three times the amount of carbon as wood, rendering the carbon inert for decades.
These premium crossties feature:

* Excellent strength and stiffness properties and retention
* High average, ultimate and rail seat compressive strength and modulus of elasticity value
* Excellent surface hardness values
* No surface checking or other defects
* Minimal deformation under load
* Better performance with regard to screw spike withdrawal properties after aging
* Longevity and low maintenance even in extreme weather conditions

*

polywood ties can be made in any required length for use in turnouts. Their longevity makes them more suitable for use in difficult to access locations like bridges and tunnels.
Polywood’s patented formulation of recycled structural plastic lumber enables it to withstand loads much greater than typical plastic lumber products. Additional qualities that make it more beneficial than wood are:

* Low maintenance
* Insect resistance
* Lack of toxicity
* Increased sustainability
* Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
Polywood’s patented technology makes recycled plastic lumber perfect for park and recreational as well as marine and municipal uses. It’s tougher and more resilient than treated wood, which makes it ideal for all your outdoor projects.

Product Features

* Won’t warp or corrode
* Mildew resistant
* Graffiti resistant
* Never splinters
* Unaffected by termites and other insects, rodents, worms or marine parasites
* Resistant to heat, cold, salt and acids
* Easily installed
* Low maintenance

Product Applications

* Picnic tables (with and without wheelchair access)
* Park benches
* Bike racks
* Roll-up walkways
* Trash can holders
* Playground structures
* Boat docks and ramps
* Dock facings and fenders
* Golf course benches
* Gazebos
* Sandboxes
* And much, much more!

Answer 4

Polywood is an engineered wood substitute designed specifically for a shutter application. It is a natural gas by-product (as opposed to plastic, which is petroleum based). Polywood is completely synthetic and contains no natural wood.

Answer 5

PolyWood is a petroleum based plastic filled product that has been available in the market for approximately five years. It is a new and innovative exrtusion technology, making use of residential and industrial plastic waste

Answer 6

Plywood
A wood product in which thin sheets of wood are glued together, grains of adjacent sheets being at right angles to each other in the principal plane. Because of this cross-grained orientation, mechanical properties are less directional than those of natural lumber and more dimensionally stable. Tree farms are now cultivated specifically to yield logs suitable for processing into sheets for plywood.

The American Plywood Association identifies several grades of product. Plywood is designated group 1 when made from northern-grown Douglas-fir, western larch, and such southern pines as loblolly and longleaf, or other woods noted for their strength. Plywoods in groups 2, 3, and 4 are made from woods of successively lower strengths. Consequently, group 1 plywood offers the greatest stiffness, group 4 the least.

Plywood with waterproof glue is designated exterior type; it is also used interiorly where moisture is present. Plywood with nonmoisture-resistant glue is designated interior type; it can withstand an occasional soaking but neither repeated soakings nor continuous high humidity.

Veneer grades A through D extend from a smooth surface to a surface with occasional knotholes and limited splits. If the outer face of the plywood is cut from only heartwood or sapwood, free from open defects, the plywood is assigned veneer grade N, indicating that it will take a natural finish. See also Stem; Veneer.

Most commonly used plywoods are ¼-in. (0.6-cm) sanded interior paneling or ½-in. (1.3-cm) exterior grade plywood sheeting. Other standard thicknesses extend to 1 in. (2.5 cm) for interior types and to 1⅛ in. (2.8 cm) for exterior types. The most common panel size is 4 × 8 ft (1.2 × 2.4 m); larger sizes are manufactured for such special purposes as boat hulls.

Finished plywood may be unsanded, sanded, or overlayed with several types of coatings for decorative and specialty uses. Plywood in appropriate grades is used in many different applications, such as furniture, wall facings, shelving, containers, crates, fences, forms, subflooring, and roof decking.

Answer 9

glue and veniers. thin sheets of wood that are glued together. the reason that they are so strong is that the grain is alternated on each sheet. what I mean is the sheets are criss-crossed making them incredibly strong.
