SPC FLOORING Manufacturers

What is SPC flooring made of?
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring is composed of several layers that work together to create a durable and stable flooring option. Here is a breakdown of the typical layers found in SPC flooring:

1. Wear Layer: The wear layer is the topmost layer of the SPC flooring and is responsible for providing protection against scratches, stains, and wear caused by foot traffic. It is typically made of a clear PVC (polyvinyl chloride) material with added wear-resistant properties.

2. Vinyl Layer: Beneath the wear layer is a vinyl layer that gives SPC flooring its visual appearance. This layer can have a printed design that imitates the look of wood, stone, or other materials. It provides the desired aesthetic appeal to the flooring.

3. SPC Core Layer: The core layer is the key component of SPC flooring. It is made of a mixture of natural limestone powder, PVC, stabilizers, and other additives. The limestone powder provides rigidity, stability, and dimensional strength to the flooring. The PVC and additives enhance the overall performance and durability of the core layer.

4. Underlayment (Optional): Some SPC flooring products may come with an attached underlayment layer, which provides additional sound absorption, insulation, and comfort underfoot. However, not all SPC flooring options include an underlayment layer, and it may be provided separately if desired.

These layers are typically combined using a process called extrusion, where the materials are fused together under high temperature and pressure. The resulting SPC flooring is known for its stability, strength, and resistance to moisture, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.
