The difference between SPC, LVT, WPC flooring

Because of the rise of floor industry, a lot of new-style floor emerge in endlessly, consumer also differentiates these floors very hard, wait for the floor such as LVT, SPC, WPC, it is the distinction of these 3 kinds of floor below.

First, LVT floor

1. LVT floor structure: the internal structure of LVT floor generally includes UV paint layer, wear-resistant layer, color film layer and LVT substrate layer. Generally, the substrate is three layers of LVT composite together. In order to improve the dimensional stability of the floor, the customer will ask the factory to add fiberglass mesh to the middle bottom layer to reduce the deformation of the floor due to temperature changes.

2, THE main components of LVT floor: PVC resin, stone powder, plasticizer, stabilizer, lubricant, modifier, carbon black, etc., mainly PVC resin and stone powder.

3, LVT floor production process: the biggest characteristic of its production process is the production of LVT sheet of each layer, generally using the "dense smelting + calendering" way to process 0.8~1.5mm sheet of thickness, and then through the group of billet, hot pressing or oil pressing way made of floor finished product requirements of the thickness.

Second, WPC floor

1. WPC floor structure: WPC floor includes paint layer, wear-resistant layer, color film layer LVT layer and WPC base material

2. Composition of WPC floor: the main composition of WPC floor is similar to THAT of LVT floor. The biggest difference is that foaming agent is added to WPC material, which makes the floor lighter in weight and better in foot feeling.

3, WPC floor production process: WPC floor is a composite floor including LVT and WPC base material. The technological process is that the LVT floor of single layer structure is made first, and then the WPC base material extruded is pressed and molded by adhesive. The adhesive is polyurethane cold-pressed adhesive.

Three, SPC floor

1, THE structure of SPC floor: currently the SPC floor on the market includes three types, online laminating single layer SPC floor, LVT and SPC composite AB structure and ABA structure SPC composite floor, as shown in the figure below.

2, the main ingredients of SPC floor: the same is PVC floor products, the main raw materials are basically the same type, and LVT floor is different, SPC floor substrate in the production process added lubricant, in order to more smoothly complete extrusion.

3, SPC floor production process: similar to WPC floor substrate, SPC substrate is extruded and calended into sheet plate by extruding machine, and then paste color film and wear resistant layer on the surface. If it is THE SPC composite floor of AB or ABA structure, the SPC base material is extruded first, and the LVT layer is pressed by the way of group billet composite.

The above is the difference between LVT floor, WPC floor and SPC floor. These three new floors are actually derivatives of PVC floor. Because material of these 3 kinds of new-style floor is special, compare with wooden floor to apply more extensive, be in Euramerican market widespread popularity.
