In this report it covers:
(1) Overview of the PVC flooring industry: PVC flooring as a new type of green and environmentally friendly floor decoration material, originated in Europe. In the early 1930s, the United States took the lead in launching the industrial production of PVC flooring. In the 1970s and 1980s, PVC floor manufacturers in Europe and the United States improved the ratio of PVC resin powder, plasticizers and other functional additives, which further improved the performance of PVC floor in all aspects and began to show advantages that traditional floor materials could not match making it gradually become a new type of floor decoration material after traditional floor decoration materials such as carpets, solid wood floors and marble. The consumption habits of residents in Europe are similar to those in North America. They have a high degree of acceptance and recognition of PVC flooring, which also makes developed countries such as Europe and the United States the world's most important PVC floor consumption areas. PVC flooring is also widely used in various places such as residences, hospitals, schools, office buildings, supermarkets, and shopping malls in Europe and the United States. In addition, with the continuous deepening of research in the fields of petrochemicals and new polymer materials and the continuous improvement and upgrading of PVC flooring production processes such as foaming, extrusion, and embossing, high-end products such as WPC flooring, SPC flooring, and MGO flooring have emerged in the industry. With the continuous emergence of high-end green and environmentally friendly new products in these industries, the relevant industrial chain has been further improved.
PVC flooring has entered the Chinese home furnishing market since the 1980s. Compared with developed countries such as Europe and the United States, due to the late introduction of products and the limitations of traditional consumer concepts of residents, the market share of PVC flooring in China's floor decoration materials is relatively low. Nevertheless, due to its advantages such as low production cost and complete industrial chain, after more than 30 years of development, China has gradually become the world's main production and export base of PVC flooring. With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, people have put forward higher and higher requirements for the safety and comfort of living environment, which has also made the superior functional characteristics of PVC flooring in terms of green environmental protection, fire retardant, waterproof and moisture-proof continue to highlight, and consumers' recognition of PVC flooring has continued to increase. With the global hot sales of high-end products such as WPC, SPC and MGO in recent years, the PVC flooring manufacturing industry will burst out with huge development potential and usher in the golden period of industry development. (2) Characteristics of PVC flooring products Traditional floor decoration materials, such as carpets, wooden floors, stone floors and tile floors, often have some problems such as irritating odor, easy to wear or corrosion, poor safety and environmental protection performance, complicated installation and maintenance procedures or high prices. In comparison, PVC flooring has advantages that are difficult to match with traditional floor decoration materials.
The main characteristics of PVC flooring products are as follows:
① Green and environmentally friendly, recyclable. The main components of PVC flooring are polyvinyl chloride and calcium carbonate, two green and environmentally friendly resources. Compared with traditional wooden floors and composite floors, there are hidden dangers of formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful gases volatilization during production, installation and use. PVC flooring will not produce the above harmful gases during installation and use. Its green and environmental performance has obvious advantages. In addition, the material of PVC flooring can be recycled and reused when its service life expires. It is a recyclable material. In this era that emphasizes the concept of sustainable development, the use of PVC flooring materials plays a vital role in reducing the total amount of solid waste in my country and protecting the earth's natural resources and ecological environment.
② Outstanding anti-slip performance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, with sound absorption and noise reduction function. The surface of PVC flooring is covered with a transparent wear-resistant layer made by special processing. This material makes PVC flooring have better anti-slip and wear-resistant performance than other floors. The wear-resistant layer feels more astringent when it is sticky and is not easy to slip, that is, the more it encounters water, the more astringent it is. Therefore, PVC floor is suitable for public places with high public safety requirements, such as hospitals, kindergartens, schools, nursing homes, etc., It is especially suitable for the floor material of the elderly's room. The wear resistance of high-quality PVC floor can reach 300,000 revolutions, which is much better than the wear resistance of laminate floor (high-quality laminate floor is only 20,000 revolutions). The service life of PVC floor can reach 5-10 years according to different categories and specifications. PVC floor also has strong acid and alkali corrosion resistance and can withstand the test of harsh environment. It is especially suitable for public places with large flow of people, such as hospitals, schools, office buildings, shopping malls, supermarkets, laboratories, research institutes, etc. In addition, there is a back pad made of cork, IXPE or EVA at the bottom of PVC floor, which can have the sound absorption and noise reduction function that other floor decoration materials cannot match, and its sound absorption can reach up to 20 decibels. This excellent performance makes PVC floor not only suitable for quiet environments, such as hospital wards, school libraries, theaters, etc., but also as a home decoration floor material, it can reduce noise between floors and create a more comfortable living environment.
③ Waterproof and moisture-proof, fire-retardant, heat-conducting and warm-keeping, strong impact resistance. The main component of PVC flooring, polyvinyl chloride resin, has no affinity with water and shows extremely high waterproof and moisture-proof properties. It will not be damaged as long as it is not soaked for a long time, and it will not mold when the air humidity is high. At the same time, PVC flooring also has high fire-retardant properties, has a high melting point, and is not easy to burn.
According to the national standard "Classification of Combustion Performance of Building Materials and Products" GB 8624-2012, its fire resistance grade can reach B1 level (flame-retardant material), second only to stone. Even if passive ignition occurs, the smoke it produces will never produce suffocating toxic and harmful gases, and will not cause harm to the human body. PVC floor has good thermal conductivity, uniform and stable heat dissipation, and small thermal expansion coefficient. According to the national standard GB/T 4085-2015 for semi-rigid polyvinyl chloride block floor, the horizontal and vertical heating size change rate of qualified PVC floor products will not exceed 0.25% after being heated in a constant temperature blast oven at about 80℃ and the heating warpage is less than 2mm. The latest group standard TCADBM 1-2018 for polyvinyl chloride lock floor has further improved the standard of qualified lock floor, stipulating that the heating warpage of qualified lock floor must be less than 1.5mm. In Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions, PVC floor is the preferred product for floor heating thermal floor, especially for home paving, especially for families using floor heating in cold northern my country. In addition, PVC floor has strong impact resistance and strong elastic recovery for heavy impact damage, which can minimize the damage to the human body caused by the ground, disperse the impact on the feet, and reduce the chance of people falling and getting injured.
④Quick installation and easy maintenance The installation of PVC floor is simple and quick. No cement mortar is needed. As long as the ground conditions are good, it can be used after 24 hours with special environmentally friendly floor glue. For lock-in floor, glue-free installation is also possible. After the PVC floor is installed, the joints are very small and almost invisible from a distance. The overall effect of the floor is excellent. PVC floor can be laid on the ground that has been paved with floor or tile, avoiding the trouble of removing floor or tile. It is especially suitable for the decoration of old houses and partial decoration. The UV paint coating and wear-resistant layer on the surface of PVC floor can well reduce the possibility of abrasion marks on the floor surface. Therefore, the maintenance and maintenance of the floor has become very simple and economical. For daily cleaning, only dry mop or vacuum cleaner can be used to remove dust, and slightly damp mop with diluted neutral detergent can remove stains, which saves a lot of tedious processes.
