SPC floor (Stone Plastic Composite, stone plastic composite material) is a new type of floor material, because of its environmental protection and excellent performance and widely welcomed. Consumers are usually very concerned about the formaldehyde content of SPC flooring, because formaldehyde is a harmful substance, long-term exposure to high concentrations of formaldehyde in the environment will seriously affect health. It is worth noting that the formaldehyde content of SPC flooring is usually very low or even negligible.
1. Material composition and environmental protection
SPC flooring is mainly composed of stone powder (calcium carbonate) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), both of which do not contain formaldehyde themselves. Stone powder is a natural mineral, polyvinyl chloride is a widely used in flooring, pipes and other products of plastic, in the production process does not release formaldehyde. Compared with traditional wood flooring, SPC flooring does not require the use of formaldehyde-containing glue to bond, so there is no problem of formaldehyde release.
2. Influence of production process
The production process of SPC flooring is physically pressed rather than chemically bonded, which means that the formaldehyde content is almost zero throughout the production process. The formaldehyde in traditional wood flooring mainly comes from the glue used in plywood, but in SPC flooring, due to its structural stability, no glue is used, further reducing the risk of formaldehyde.
3. Environmental certification and standards
SPC floors usually meet strict environmental standards and undergo a series of tests before leaving the factory to ensure that they comply with international environmental standards. These tests include strict control of formaldehyde release. SPC floors on the market can generally meet the E0 level standard, which means that the formaldehyde release per cubic meter of air is less than 0.5 mg, far below the level that is harmful to the human body.
4. Consider application scenarios and health
Due to the low formaldehyde content, SPC flooring is especially suitable for homes, schools, hospitals and other places with high air quality requirements. For families with the elderly, children and pregnant women, choosing SPC flooring can effectively reduce the health risks posed by formaldehyde and provide a safer and healthier living environment.
5. Conclusion
In general, SPC flooring with its environmental characteristics and low formaldehyde content, has become a very competitive floor material in the market. SPC flooring is a reliable choice for consumers who are concerned about health and environmental protection. Choosing SPC flooring can not only ensure the beauty and durability of the family environment, but also provide a healthy and harmless living space for the family.
