To limit this situation, manufacturers have continuously researched and launched impressive wood plastic product lines such as:

• ASA coated 2-layer wood plastic: Acrylic Styrene Acrylonitrile (ASA) coating increases UV resistance, limits fading, and reduces 10% after 5 years of use.
• 2-layer Polymer-coated Wood Plastic: Polymer-coated wood plastic hardly fades over time, even after 5 years of use it still retains its original color.
