What Is Wood Powder?
Wood powder is a versatile product made from natural wood by-products. It is processed to remove large particles and serves as a crucial raw material for industries such as paper manufacturing, WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) flooring production, and incense stick production.
Wood powder is a fine-grained material made by grinding wood into tiny particles. Unlike wood shavings (which are thin, flaky pieces) or sawdust (coarser, irregular particles), wood powder has a smooth, uniform texture. This fineness allows it to mix easily with other materials, making it ideal for applications where consistency is key.
It can be made from various wood types, such as pine & mixed wood powder, cedar wood powder, teak wood powder, acacia wood powder, or rubber wood powder. The choice of wood affects its characteristics, for example, pine wood powder has a light color and mixed powder is brown color.
How Is Wood Powder Made?
The production of wood powder begins with a careful inspection and verification of raw material quality. Logs, wood scraps, or sawdust are screened to remove metals and oversized pieces that could affect processing. Once cleaned, the materials are crushed and dried to reach an ideal moisture level, ensuring smooth and uniform grinding.
Next, the dried wood is ground into fine powder using specialized grinding equipment that produces consistent particle sizes according to required mesh specifications. The finished powder is then packed securely to maintain quality and prevent contamination. Finally, the product is stored and transported under controlled conditions, ensuring it arrives clean, dry, and ready for industrial applications.
Popular Types of Wood Powder in Vietnam
In Vietnam, wood powder is produced from a variety of raw materials, but the most commonly used types are pine wood powder and mixed wood powder. Each type offers distinct properties that suit different industrial applications. Below are the main characteristics of these two popular varieties supplied by World Export.
Pine Wood Powder
Pine wood powder is made from 100% pine wood and is well-known for its light brown color, fine particle size (≤1 mm), and low moisture content (max 10%). With an available mesh size of 20–80, it is widely used in Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) production and the paper industry. Its clean, smooth texture and natural resin content make it ideal for applications requiring high purity and consistency.

Mixed Wood Powder
Mixed wood powder is produced from a combination of pine, acacia, and rubber wood. This type has a slightly darker brown color and similar fine particle size (≤1 mm). It is commonly used in organic fertilizers, especially when mixed with animal manure, due to its absorbency and compatibility with natural composting processes. With a maximum moisture level of 10% and mesh sizes between 20 and 80, mixed wood powder offers both versatility and cost efficiency for agricultural and industrial use.

Key Applications of Wood Powder
Wood powder is used much in many industries due to its great advantages. There are some industries wood powder can be utilized:
Paper Manufacturing
Wood powder is used as an additive in paperboard production to increase sheet bulk and reduce drying costs. It enhances efficiency while helping manufacturers lower overall production expenses.
Wood Plastic Composite (WPC)
By blending wood powder with recycled plastics, WPC materials are created for decking, furniture, and construction. They offer high durability, water resistance, and sustainability – making them ideal for outdoor applications.
Incense Manufacturing
Wood powder serves as a base ingredient that ensures smooth burning in incense production. Different types like pine and cedar add distinct aroma characteristics while maintaining clean combustion.
Cultivation & Landing
Wood powder is now considered a “panacea” for the field of cultivation. Especially suitable for fungi such as Ganoderma, shiitake mushrooms, cat mushrooms, straw mushrooms … The effect of wood powder in fertilizer helps the soil become porous and breathable. Plant varieties are therefore healthier, grow fast, and grow better.
