Wous devrons peut-être réfléchir un peu plus à l'achat de mobilier d'extérieur que nous ne le faisons lorsque nous achetons du mobilier d'intérieur. En effet, les meubles d'extérieur sont constamment exposés à des conditions météorologiques difficiles et les matériaux peuvent être très importants. Si vous souhaitez que vos tables et chaises durent plus longtemps à l'extérieur, vous devez être plus attentif à analyser et comparer les matières premières utilisées pour les fabriquer avant de vous décider à les acheter.
Wuand il s'agit de plastique, tout le monde n'y est pas étranger, mais en fait, le plastique est une très grande famille.
Plastiques biosourcés
Bio-based plastics are made from renewable biological resources. For example, sugar cane is processed to produce ethylene, which can then be used to make polyethylene. Starch can be processed into lactic acid, which can then be used to produce polylactic acid (PLA).
Plastiques dégradables
Degradable plastics are plastics that are degraded by microorganisms into water, carbon dioxide (or methane) and biomass under specific conditions.
Plastiques techniques
Engineering plastics offer higher performance than standard materials, making them ideal for harsh engineering applications. In many applications, they have gradually replaced traditional engineering materials such as wood or metal because they not only equal or exceed traditional materials in weight/strength ratio and other properties, but are also easier to manufacture, especially in applications with complex designs.
Résines époxydes
Epoxy resins have been around for over 50 years and are one of the most successful of the plastics family. Their physical state can change from a low-viscosity liquid to a high-melting solid, which means that a wide variety of materials with unique properties can be manufactured. At home, you'll find them transformed into soft drink bottles and a variety of packaging materials, and they're used as protective coatings for everything from beds, garden chairs, office and hospital furniture to supermarket carts and bicycles. They are also used in special industries, such as protecting the surfaces of ships, oil rigs and wind turbines from the effects of bad weather.
Polystyrène expansé
Expanded polystyrene or EPS is a widely used commodity polymer. It is widely used as a shockproof packaging material for machinery and equipment, instruments, household appliances, handicrafts and other fragile and valuable products, as well as for fast food packaging.
Fluoropolymères
Fluoropolymers are known for their outstanding non-stick properties, which are associated with their use as coatings on cookware and as stain repellents for fabrics and textiles. They have also contributed to significant advances in aerospace, electronics, automotive, industrial processes (chemical and power sectors, including renewable energy), construction, food and pharmaceutical, and medical applications. The best-known member of fluoropolymers is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene).
Polyoléfines
Polyolefins are polymers of polyethylene and polypropylene thermoplastics. They are produced primarily from petroleum and natural gas through the polymerization process of ethylene and propylene, respectively. Their versatility makes them one of the most popular plastics today.
Polystyrène
Polystyrene is a synthetic polymer made from styrene monomer, which is a petroleum liquefaction product. It is a thermoplastic polymer that softens when heated and can be transformed into a variety of final products through semi-finished products such as films and sheets.
Polyuréthane
Polyurethane is a flexible, pliable and durable man-made material. There are various types of polyurethanes that look and feel very different from each other. They are used in a very wide range of products. In fact, we are surrounded by products containing polyurethane in all aspects of our daily lives. While most people are not familiar with polyurethanes because they are often "hidden" behind covers or surfaces made of other materials, it is hard to imagine life without them.
Chlorure de polyvinyle
Polyvinyl chloride was one of the first plastics to be discovered and one of the most widely used. It comes from salt (57%) and oil or natural gas (43%). It is the third most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer in the world, after polyethylene and polypropylene.PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible.
Thermoplastiques
Thermoplastics are polymers that can be melted and recast almost indefinitely. They melt when heated and harden when cooled. However, when frozen, thermoplastics become glassy and break easily. This material can be repeatedly reheated, remolded and cooled. Therefore, thermoplastics are recyclable in production. Some of the most common types of thermoplastics are polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyethylene phthalate, and polycarbonate.
Avec autant de matériaux de qualité transformés en une variété de meubles d'extérieur, les meubles d'extérieur en plastique sont un produit très écologique qui est non seulement durable et extrêmement peu d'entretien, mais qui peut être entièrement recyclé à la fin de sa durée de vie utile.
En raison de leur surface lisse, les meubles d'extérieur en plastique peuvent être facilement nettoyés avec juste de l'eau et du savon et un chiffon, ce qui en fait le choix parfait pour les paresseux.
Avantages des meubles d'extérieur en plastiqueï¼
The beauty of plastic outdoor furniture is that they require little maintenance.
Il résiste à l'humidité, ne moisit pas et résiste aux éléments sans avoir besoin de scellant ou de vernis.
Il est également très abordable, disponible dans une variété de couleurs et peut ressembler à n'importe quel autre matériau.
Un autre avantage est que les meubles en plastique sont légers et souvent empilables
Recyclable
Inconvénients des meubles d'extérieur en plastiqueï¼
- Les meubles d'extérieur texturés en plastique peuvent ne pas avoir l'air aussi haut de gamme
- Peut s'envoler par temps extrême
