CAPXIDAN® LG

CAPXIDAN® LG is a modified copolymer produced with a proprietary, patent pending formulation. It is designed to be coextruded over Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) deckboards to provide moisture, stain and wear resistance, esthetics, low gloss, durability at elevated temperatures, and unprecedented adhesion to the WPC substrate. CAPXIDAN® LG is a two-component capstock system. The CAPXIDAN® resin should be extruded together with a specific synergistic additive masterbatch in the recommended proportion of 98:2 by weight.
