Decking

With wood composite decking among the fastest growing market segments in the plastics industry, Penn Color has been at the technological forefront of this developing industry. Whether you're working in PE, PP, or PVC; wood flour, kenaf, rice hulls, or any other natural fiber, Penn Color can develop the most cost effective color and additive solution for you.

Though the market is relatively new, we've spent years studying the unique problems that face this industry, which have led us to the best possible solutions available today. This is a fledgling industry however, and our work continues as we have a dedicated team of chemists evaluating new additives & processes.

There are many variables involved in the formulation of color concentrates, including pigments, UV stabilizers, coupling agents, anti mold & mildew additives, foaming agents, etc, and we can help you decide which package is right for you. Furthermore, we have extensive accelerated weathering capabilities onsite, utilizing both Xenon & QUV machines. We also have our own outdoor test fence to measure actual weathering results.

Embossing and wood grain effects have made there way into this industry, and we've had extensive experience in the development of "streaker"products, custom formulated to work with your feedstock selection & your machine processing parameters.

For many years, Penn Color has been an industry leader in the broader building products market, and you can count on our experience & technology to solve your toughest problems.
