Introduction

Although its use is not entirely new, recently braided synthetic rattan has gained more prominence in the outdoor furniture industry. Combining the aesthetic appeal of natural rattan with the durability and versatility of modern synthetic materials, it has become one of the first choices for furniture manufacturers, designers and hoteliers. This article delves into the rise, benefits, manufacturing process and applications of braided synthetic rattan, and explores why it has become the preferred choice for outdoor furniture and beyond.

Twisted Synthetic Rattan

Twisted synthetic rattan is a synthetic material manufactured to mimic the physical form of natural rattan. Unlike natural rattan, which is sensitive to weathering, fading and moisture damage, synthetic rattan is much more resilient. These synthetic rattan models are twisted and woven into intricate patterns, mimicking the organic texture of natural rattan while offering greater durability and resistance to environmental factors.

The twisted aspect refers to the manufacturing technique where synthetic strands are tightly wound together to create a robust, flexible, and visually appealing material. This process not only enhances the material’s strength but also allows for a wide range of design possibilities, making it a versatile choice for furniture production.

The Raise of Twisted Synthetic Rattan

Considering the huge inefficiencies of natural rattan, we realize that it is less suitable for outdoor use. However, as the demand for durable and low-maintenance outdoor furniture grows, manufacturers prefer to explore synthetic material alternatives.

The use of synthetic rattan dates back decades, with early versions made from PVC. While these early versions were durable, they lacked the aesthetic appeal of natural rattan. Over time, advances in material science and manufacturing techniques have led to the creation of HDPE rattan, which closely resembles natural rattan in texture and appearance. Today, Twisted synthetic rattan is the gold standard for outdoor furniture, offering the perfect combination of beauty and functionality.

Benefits of Twisted Synthetic Rattan

Thanks to its physical and mechanical properties, braided synthetic rattan has a variety of advantages over natural rattan and other outdoor furniture materials. Here are some of its main advantages:

Low Maintenance, Synthetic rattan requires minimal maintenance. It can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soap and water to maintain its appearance.

Versatility, the braided collection is available in a variety of colours and sizes giving furniture makers the ability to manufacture a wide range of furniture.

Resistance, Synthetic rattan is UV resistant, which means it will not fade or discolour when exposed to sunlight.

Flexibility, Braided synthetic rattan is flexible and can be woven in a variety of ways, providing comfort and excellent support.

Ecological, synthetic rattan is an environmentally friendly material. It is made from plastics and can be recycled after use.

Durability, unlike natural rattan, synthetic rattan is designed to withstand weather conditions such as rain, UV rays and extreme temperatures.

Our Manufacturing Process

The manufacture of braided synthetic rattan involves several stages, each of which is designed to ensure the quality, durability and aesthetic appeal of the material. Below is an overview of the process:

Material: The base material is HDPE. PE is preferred for its UV resistance and flexibility.

Extrusion and Twisting: The raw material is melted and extruded into thin strands. These strands are cooled and cut to the desired length. The twisting process increases the strength of the material and gives it a natural rattan-like appearance.

Quality Control: The finished material is rigorously tested to ensure that it meets quality standards for durability, UV resistance and flexibility.
