The environmental friendly, uniquely wood-fiber/high-density-polyethylene composites (WF/HDPE) at three aesthetic and low maintenance characteristics of WPC are driv- different concentrations, to determine the effects of pigments on the ing the fast growth in wood replacement applications. changes in the color and mechanical properties of the composites before The global wood thermoplastic composite market was 771 and after UV accelerated weathering. HDPE, wood fibers, pigments and million kilogram in 2003 ，85% of which was shared by North other processing additives were dry-mixed in a high-speed mixer. The America.
