PLASTIC RATTAN CORE – WEATHER-RESISTANT PE MATERIAL FOR OUTDOOR FURNITURE
Plastic Rattan Core is a synthetic rattan material made from high-density polyethylene (PE) with UV stabilizers. Its solid round profile is available in diameters from 3 mm to 10 mm, making it suitable for outdoor furniture, privacy screens, fencing and exterior decorative applications.
With color options including Natural Tan, Matte Black and White, together with custom Pantone matching, the material can support different furniture and exterior design requirements. The stated lead time is approximately 10–30 days after payment confirmation.
1. Plastic Rattan Core with a Solid Round Profile
- Plastic Rattan Core, also referred to as PE Round Wicker or PE Rattan Core, is manufactured from high-density polyethylene (PE) with UV stabilizers. The material is formed into a solid cylindrical strand with a round cross-section.
- Compared with natural rattan core, the synthetic PE construction does not require soaking before weaving. The material can be pulled, tensioned and woven directly in its dry condition, supporting production processes where consistent handling and workability are required.
- The available diameter range is 3 mm to 10 mm, providing different options for furniture weaving, architectural screens and exterior decorative products.
- The product is available in Natural Tan, Matte Black and White, with custom Pantone matching also stated as an available option. This allows manufacturers and product designers to coordinate the material color with specific furniture collections or exterior design concepts.

2. Weather-Resistant Material for Outdoor Applications
- One of the key characteristics of Plastic Rattan Core is its resistance to water and ambient humidity. Plastic Rattan Core is suitable for outdoor environments where conventional natural fibers may be exposed to moisture, rain and sunlight.
- The PE material can therefore be used in outdoor furniture and exterior applications such as patio furniture, poolside furniture, outdoor kitchen accents, privacy screens and balcony dividers.
- The material incorporates UV stabilizers into the polymer, supporting color retention under outdoor exposure. For manufacturers producing outdoor furniture collections, this feature can help maintain a consistent visual appearance during use.
- The non-porous plastic surface also allows the material to be cleaned and sanitized more easily than porous natural rattan materials. This characteristic can be relevant for hospitality furniture and other commercial environments where routine cleaning is required.

4. Plastic Rattan Core for Furniture and Exterior Design
Plastic Rattan Core can be applied across several outdoor furniture and exterior design categories.
- For outdoor furniture, the round PE core can be woven around metal frames to create lounge chairs, dining furniture and pool loungers. Its cylindrical profile provides a different visual effect from flat synthetic rattan bands and is suitable for designs that require a rounded, structured appearance.
- For privacy screens and fencing, 8–10 mm profiles for applications such as balcony dividers and privacy structures. These larger diameters can be integrated with metal grid panels to create exterior decorative surfaces.
- The material can also be used for commercial planters and exterior lighting, where woven structures are required for hospitality and outdoor spaces. Its resistance to moisture supports applications exposed to irrigation and changing outdoor conditions.
5. Production and Processing Advantages
- Plastic Rattan Core can be woven without the soaking process commonly required for natural rattan core. This helps simplify preparation before weaving and avoids the wet-work stage associated with conditioning natural materials.
- As a thermoplastic material, PE Rattan Core can also be joined using heat-gun or heating-iron methods for fusing two ends of the material, depending on the production process and technical requirements.
- For manufacturers developing repeatable production processes, these characteristics can support a more consistent workflow for weaving and assembly.
