Manufacturing process -
(1) Mixing materials
Put the PVC resin powder, plasticizer, stabilizer, and carbon black into the mixer according to the formula ratio, and the machine automatically adds the plasticizer. add limestone powder, stir for about 30 minutes, and send the evenly mixed mixture to the conveyor belt and enter the internal mixer for heating and mixing.
(2)Extruding blocks
The raw material powder enters the roller, and gradually forms after being rolled by the roller. The temperature is about 170°C. Finally, the raw material is cooled and refined, will be produced into the middle base layer and bottom base layer through the dense refining, and the raw material is cut into 1*1m or 1*1.3m blocks.
(3)Film laying
Spread canvas, embossed board, soft film (matt film, high-temperature paper), bottom/middle material, wear-resistant layer, color film, and soft film (matt film, high-temperature paper) on the steel plate in sequence.
(4)Hot pressing
After being pressed with another steel plate, it is sent to the hot press, continuously heated and pressurized, and taken out after about 40 minutes. After the soft film is torn off, the floor is pressed into shape. After hot pressing, the product layer is firmly bonded to the layer.
(5)UV coating
Put the pressed whole floor into the conveyor belt, apply a layer of UV paint uniformly by the roller, and then receive ultraviolet radiation and enter the oven for baking.
In this process, the UV paint will be applied twice, and the ultraviolet radiation will be applied twice. The purpose of UV paint is to increase the gloss to meet customer requirements (the brightness of the floor is not directly related to the amount of UV paint, mainly controlled by the brightness of the UV paint).
(6)Annealing
After the paint is fully cured, the floor is sent to cold water to cool. Finally, use a cooler to dry the water on the surface. Finally, put it into the normal temperature and normal state of being.
The purpose of tempering is to strengthen the shrinkage and warpage of the PVC floor through heating and cooling on the assembly line.
(7)Shaped the floor
The floor is heated by the machine to make it easier to punch. Forming different shapes.
(8)Profiling
Profiling is carried out according to customer requirements. Adjusted by the knife adjuster according to the size of the floor. After adjustment, put the pieces of the floor on the conveyor belt, first profiling the long side, then the short side.
(9) Profiling
machine guarantees the high accuracy of click products.
(10) Groove engraving of the floor
After engraving the groove, the texture of the product imitating wood/stone/carpet texture is more realistic.
Characteristics -
(1) 100% waterproof, suitable for any indoor area in addition to the outdoor use;
(2) the high environmental protection, zero formaldehyde, food grade;
(3) the fire rating Bf1 level; Highest standard for the floor, applicable to fire control occasions with higher requirements;
(4) high strength wear-resistant;
(5) the moisture-proof prevent slippery, moth-proofing anticorrosive antibacterial;
(6) the foot feels comfortable, sound-absorbing the effect is good.
(7) the installation is simple, maintenance is convenient;
(8) response real wood texture can be adjusted according to need different colors;
(9) WPC floor there are risks deformation at room temperature under 0 ℃;
(10) SPC floor is suitable for the cold (20 ℃) to the extreme heat (60 ℃) use of interior space
Environmental impact-
(1) Environmentally-friendly – avoiding use of real wood protects the earth’s natural resources and it can be recycled
(2) Safe, better air quality – it is free from dangerous chemicals typically found in flooring such as formaldehyde , glues, benzene and phthalates
(3) Some are radiant heating compatible
(4) SPC flooring is also environmentally friendly. Its materials are not toxic, and they are made of natural materials. It is eco-friendly because it contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It means that it is safer for the environment.
Conclusion -
If durability, longevity, and ease of installation are important to you, SPC flooring is a great choice. This luxury vinyl flooring can reproduce the look of natural materials without the extra cost and upkeep. However, if you are looking to add value to your home, natural stone such as marble, quartz, or granite flooring is a better choice.
