The material composition of SPC floor mainly includes anti-UV layer, wear-resistant layer, vinyl coating, main material layer and substrate layer. The following is a detailed introduction for you:

Anti-UV layer: the protective coating on the top layer, the main function is to resist ultraviolet rays, resist dirt, and maintain the color of the floor.

Wear-resistant layer: The wear-resistant layer is a transparent coating, which mainly provides good scratch resistance, abrasion resistance and stain resistance for the SPC floor.

Vinyl coating: also known as printing layer, in addition to printing texture patterns, it also has the effect of waterproofing. The patterns of SPC floors are mostly real wood grain, so the vinyl coating can also be called a real wood grain printing layer.

The main material layer: mixed with inorganic lime minerals, PVC composite materials, calcium carbonate and stabilizers and other raw materials to provide a stable waterproof effect.

Backing layer: The main function is to increase the softness of the floor. Each brand uses different materials. Take the 90s top SPC buckle floor as an example. The IXPE comfortable base material is used to create high-quality moisture-proof and sound-absorbing effects.
