SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) is a new type of composite material that is widely used in the flooring industry, especially in environments that require high durability and water resistance. SPC flooring is favored by more and more consumers and builders because of its excellent performance and diversified application scenarios. It combines the advantages of stone powder and polymer, not only provides good hardness and stability of traditional materials, but also has environmental protection and easy maintenance. The following is a detailed introduction of SPC materials and their application characteristics.

1. Composition:
CaCO₃ : Caco ₃ is one of the main components of SPC floors and usually uses calcium carbonate. This composition not only improves the hardness of the floor, but also improves the stability of the material. The addition of stone powder makes the SPC floor stronger than the traditional plastic floor and effectively extends the service life of the floor. In addition, the presence of calcium carbonate makes the SPC floor maintain dimensional stability in the case of temperature changes, and is not easy to expand and shrink.
Polymer matrix: The polymer in PVC flooring is usually polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which gives the floor a certain elasticity and durability. As a widely used plastic material, PVC has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which makes SPC floor maintain good appearance and function in long-term use. In addition, PVC also has a high plasticity, enabling SPC flooring to be designed with a variety of textures and colors to meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers.
- Stabilizers: In the production process of SPC flooring, the addition of stabilizers is crucial. The role of the stabilizer is mainly to improve the impact resistance and durability of the material to ensure that the floor is not easy to damage in use. These stabilizers are usually some environmentally friendly and non-toxic chemicals that can significantly improve the physical properties of the floor without affecting the environmental performance of the floor.

2. Structure level:
SPC floors are usually composed of multiple layers, each with its own specific function, which together provide superior performance for the floor.

- Wear layer: The floor surface is covered with a transparent wear layer, usually between 0.3mm and 0.7mm thick. The main function of the wear layer is to protect the floor from scratches and wear, and extend the service life of the floor. The wear-resistant layer is particularly important for high-flow areas such as shopping malls and offices.

- Decorative layer: Below the wear-resistant layer is a decorative layer, using high-definition printing technology, can simulate wood, stone, marble and other close to the texture of natural materials. The decorative layer not only gives the floor a beautiful appearance, but also matches a variety of interior design styles to meet the diverse needs of consumers for the aesthetics of the floor.
- SPC core layer: This is the main bearing part of the floor, composed of stone powder and polyvinyl chloride. The thickness of this core layer is usually between 4mm and 6mm and provides the main strength and stability of the floor. Due to the use of high-density stone powder, the layer not only has high hardness and impact resistance, but also plays a sound insulation role to a certain extent, making the SPC floor also perform well in terms of comfort.
- Bottom layer: Some SPC floors will also add a moisture barrier or sound insulation layer to the bottom layer. The main function of the layer is to improve the overall performance of the floor, especially in a humid environment, which can effectively prevent the floor from deformation or mold due to moisture. The sound insulation layer can effectively reduce the noise transmission between floors and improve the comfort of life.

3. Features:
- Waterproof: SPC floor has a strong waterproof performance, making it ideal for applications in humid environments such as kitchens and bathrooms. SPC flooring is less susceptible to warping or deformation due to moisture than traditional wood flooring, which also makes it ideal for home and commercial Spaces. Since the SPC floor surface has a waterproof coating, water does not easily penetrate into the floor interior, so daily cleaning becomes simpler.

- Durability: Due to the addition of stone powder, SPC flooring is stronger and more durable than traditional LVT flooring (Luxury Vinyl Tile). This means that SPC floors can be kept in good condition and are not prone to problems such as dents and scratches. Face heavy pressure and frequent use. In addition, SPC floor also has a strong anti-ultraviolet ability, even in direct sunlight, it is not easy to fade, maintain lasting beauty.
- Stability: SPC flooring has excellent thermal and dimensional stability due to its high density stone powder composition. Even in environments with large temperature changes, SPC floors are not easy to expand and contract. This feature enables SPC flooring to maintain good performance under different climatic conditions. It is one of the most widely used flooring materials in the world.
- Easy installation: SPC flooring usually uses a lock installation system, making the laying process quick and simple, especially suitable for DIY users. In contrast to traditional flooring, the installation of SPC flooring does not require glue or nails, just splicing the floor together. This convenient installation method not only saves time and cost, but also reduces pollution and noise during construction.
- Environmental protection: SPC flooring usually does not contain harmful substances, and will not release formaldehyde and other harmful gases during use. This makes SPC flooring a healthy and safe flooring material, especially suitable for homes with elderly people, children or pets. In addition, the production process of SPC flooring is also relatively environmentally friendly, reducing the consumption of natural resources and environmental pollution.

4. Application field:
- Residential: SPC flooring is widely used in residential areas, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, basements and other areas that require high durability and water resistance. SPC flooring can not only meet the special needs of these areas, but also enhance the overall beauty of the living space through various decorative layer designs.
- Commercial space: In retail stores, office buildings, hotels and other commercial environments, SPC flooring is favored for its durability and easy maintenance. Commercial Spaces often need to undertake high flow and frequent cleaning work, SPC floor wear layer and waterproof performance can be a good response to these challenges, keep the space clean and beautiful.
- Office: In the office, the SPC floor not only provides a comfortable feeling of feet, but also has a good sound insulation effect, which can effectively reduce the noise interference in the office area. In addition, the diverse design of SPC floors can be combined with a variety of office styles to create a comfortable and professional working environment for employees.
Hospitals and schools: In these public places with high hygiene requirements, the clean, waterproof and non-slip characteristics of SPC floors are particularly important. The seamless splicing design of the SPC floor reduces the hiding of dust and bacteria, is easy to maintain daily, and meets the hygiene standards of modern public facilities.

5. Market trends and prospects:
With the continuous improvement of consumer awareness of environmental protection and health, the market demand for SPC flooring continues to grow. SPC flooring has gradually replaced traditional wood floors and tiles, becoming one of the mainstream choices in the flooring market. Especially in the global architectural decoration projects, SPC flooring has won more and more recognition and application for its wide applicability and excellent performance.

In the future, with the continuous progress of production technology, the performance of SPC flooring will be further improved, and the cost will be more controllable. This will promote the application of SPC flooring in more fields such as transportation interior and outdoor flooring. In addition, with the increasing demand for customization, the design of SPC floors will be more diversified to meet the individual needs of different consumers.
