Vinyl flooring is a new type of lightweight floor decoration material that is very popular in the world today, also known as “lightweight flooring”. It is a popular product in Europe, America, Asia, Japan and South Korea. It has been popular abroad. Since the early 1980s, it has entered the Chinese market. So far, it has been widely recognized in large and medium-sized cities in China, and has been widely used, such as homes, hospitals, schools, office buildings, factories, public places, supermarkets, businesses, and other places. PVC flooring “refers to flooring produced using polyvinyl chloride materials. Specifically, it is produced by using polyvinyl chloride and its copolymer resin as the main raw materials, adding fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, colorants, and other auxiliary materials, and coating or rolling, extrusion, or extrusion processes on a continuous substrate.
Is PVC flooring an environmentally friendly flooring? The key is to look at these three elements: heavy metals, Plasticizer and formaldehyde.
The new resin powder polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with heavy metals is free of heavy metals. If the PVC floor is processed with recycled materials (such as recycled plastic products and building materials), if the treatment is not rigorous, it may lead to excessive heavy metals.
Plasticizer The common and cheap Plasticizer is a phthalate structure (DOP), and this Plasticizer will generate harmful substances such as Phthalic acid salts; The price of plasticizers with benzene structure (DOTP) is relatively much higher, making it the most environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and harmless plasticizer in the plastic field, eliminating phthalates., It can eliminate the hidden dangers caused by plasticizers from the root cause.
The source of formaldehyde does not exist in PVC flooring, but in adhesives. Under current technical conditions, the formaldehyde content in adhesives is far lower than the national standard. Therefore, when pasting PVC flooring, as long as you are not too greedy for cheap, you can avoid the problem of excessive formaldehyde.
