Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber / wood flour and thermoplastic(s) (includes PE, PP, PVC etc.). Chemical additives seem practically invisible (except mineral fillers and pigments, if added) in the composite structure.
These are usually a blend of wood fiber and plastic resin with an embossed grain for a wood look. Best application is first floor decks or use it for built-in deck seating. All composites are not equal: wood + polyethylene (#1 plastic like soda bottles)
