Material Science

Engineered with Purpose.

At DuxxBak®, science is at the core of everything we do. From manufacturing to quality control, we rely on proven processes to deliver consistent, high-performance composite decking you can trust.

The DuxxBak material formulation has stood the test of time. DuxxBak decks have withstood nearly 25 years of exposure across diverse climates with no signs of weathering, fading, mold, or excessive heat retention.

While others constantly reformulate to fix common issues, our science-backed approach continues to deliver reliable results and satisfy customers year after year.

Science and Formulation

Our material science combines: 

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
  • Virgin material – free of contaminants
  • Highly resistant to chemical attack
  • Density (0.960) contributes to density of decking
  • Density contributes to resistance from internal attack
  • Readily available in the required quality specs
  • Strong
  • Chemically resistant
  • Non-toxic
  • More consistent product
  • Better control of properties
  • Less variation
  • Clean
Biodac®
  • Mineral reclaim from paper industry
  • Environmentally sustainable
  • Very high density (1.32) contributes to density of our product
  • Contains calcium carbonate and clay – Inert materials that contribute to stable product
  • Tannins and lignins stripped from by-product to help resist staining and fading
Rice Hulls
  • High silica content (more abrasion-resistant and long-lasting)
  • Natural protective qualities
  • Provides strength and stiffness attributes
  • Rapidly renewable resource – Environmentally friendly
Colorant
  • Iron oxide base provides a stable color quality
  • Helps resist fade
  • We only use colorant sourced from renowned suppliers
  • Added during board extrusion process to provide production control
Antioxidant, Lubricant
  • Antioxidant
    • Serves a dual purpose in manufacture and board service life
    • Provides resistance to thermal destruction of plastic in the manufacturing process
    • Acts like an ultraviolet (UV) inhibitor to resist attack and breakage of the plastic chain
  • Lubricant
    • Serves a dual purpose in manufacture and board service
    • Mates with iron oxide-based colorants to migrate in and out to create surface finish
