Flooring Factory: SPC Flooring Silent Mat IPXE vs. EVA

What is the purpose of attaching quiet pads to the rear of SPC flooring? Because this can not only increase the overall thickness of the SPC floor, but also increase the mute effect.

Some customers may need to add silent mats when purchasing flooring. No doubt that SPC flooring products with added silent pads will have better silent effects than those without silent pads.
 

By the way, the thickness of the silent mat should fully consider the thickness of the floor. Thin SPC floors can easily sustain damage if the pad is too thick.
 

This is because this imbalance can affect the floor lock. Matching the floor and pad properly is important to prevent damage.
 

The HAODIBAN brand will introduce the silent pad and IPXE vs. EVA in this article.
 

What are the common types of silent pads?

Currently, there are two common silent pads: IPXE and EVA. The scope of application of the silent mat extends beyond the back of the SPC floor. You can also add other floor covering materials with silent pads. 

SPC flooring products with silent pads will have better silent effects than SPC flooring products without silent pads.

To purchase SPC flooring with silent pads, contact the flooring team for expert advice on your purchase.

IPXE vs. EVA

First, we will briefly introduce these two types of silent pads. 

What exactly is IPXE Silent Pad? 

IXPE has good elasticity and pressure resistance. The quiet mat consists of IXPE material, which reduces noise and increases comfort and durability of the floor. 

IPXE Silent Pad is resistant to moisture, mildew, pollution, high temperatures, and oxidation.

What does EVA Silent Mat signify?

EVA is lightweight, soft, and environmentally friendly. The quiet mat consists of EVA material to reduce noise, prevent friction, and improve ground stability. 

In addition, EVA material has good water resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
 

Indeed, let's draw a comparison between the two.

IXPE and EVA are different in material properties and environmental performance. 

Material properties

IXPE is a green material that insulates heat, absorbs shock, repels moisture, resists water, and is fireproof. IXPE has a smooth, soft surface and is lightweight. IXPE has excellent resilience, low water absorption and mildew resistance.

EVA is a material with better wear resistance and weather resistance. However, compared with IXPE, the aging resistance and physical properties of EVA may not be stable enough.
 

Environmental performance. 

IXPE is a completely non-toxic green and environmentally friendly material. 

Although EVA itself is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, manufacturers may add harmful substances during the production process. Such as colorants, foaming agents and adhesives, and therefore may contain pungent odors. 

EVA's environmental performance is relatively weak and may not be suitable for applications with higher environmental requirements.
 

Therefore, when customers purchase SPC flooring products. Can you ask the flooring supplier if the price of the product includes a silent mat? If you add a silent pad, is that the type of silent pad you add?


 

To sum up, IPXE’s silent pad is of better quality and more environmentally friendly. HAOIDBAN is a top flooring factory in China. The key feature of our SPC flooring products is IPXE, making them stand out.
