New choice for healthy homes: How does SPC floor resist invisible pollution?
When we carefully design every corner of our home, we often ignore the space under our feet that carries life – the floor, which may be hidden health risks. The formaldehyde, heavy metals and other harmful substances released by traditional flooring materials are like invisible “healthy assassins”, while SPC flooring builds a safety line for the home environment with its revolutionary environmental protection technology.
1.0 Formaldehyde emission: Redefining safety standards
The core raw materials of SPC floors are natural calcium carbonate powder and environmentally friendly PVC resin. They are formed through physical extrusion process, and no formaldehyde-containing glue is added throughout the process. This means that from the moment of installation, it will not continuously release formaldehyde in high temperature and humid environments like laminate floors or partial laminate floors, contaminating indoor air. After testing by professional institutions, the formaldehyde emission of SPC floors is approaching 0, reaching or even exceeding the national standard E1 standard. Even if there are pregnant women, infants or respiratory sensitive groups at home, they can enjoy a comfortable life with peace of mind.
2.Renewable Material: A Gentle Commitment to the Earth
Today, when “carbon reduction” has become a global consensus, the environmentally friendly attributes of SPC floors are not only about protecting the health of their families. The calcium carbonate and PVC resin used in its production process are both recyclable materials. When the service life expires, the floor can be recycled and processed after it is removed to make new building materials or industrial raw materials, avoiding traditional floors becoming difficult to degrade garbage after being abandoned, and truly realizing “taken from nature and return from nature” and reducing the burden on the earth’s ecology.
Comparison data chart
| Floor materials | Formaldehyde emission | Renewable materials | Production energy consumption | Biodegradability |
| SPC flooring | Near-zero, exceeds national E1 standard | Calcium carbonate and PVC resin are recyclable | Optimized processes for energy saving and emission reduction. | Recyclable and re-processable after dismantling |
| solid wood floor | Formaldehyde release varies by glue and paint | Renewable wood, but logging harms ecology | High energy use in logging and firing | Slow degradation, hard to dispose |
| Reinforced composite flooring | Formaldehyde emission: generally E1, some E0 (0.5mg/L) | Non-renewable main components, low recycling value | Requires adhesive and high-temperature treatment, consuming much energy | Hard to degrade, becomes waste after disposal |
| Bamboo flooring | Formaldehyde release varies with adhesive use | Bamboo is renewable and has a short growth cycle | Energy-intensive production: steaming, drying, etc | Easier natural degradation, but less recyclable than SPC flooring |
3.Low-energy production: innovation in green processes
The environmentally friendly genes of SPC floors run throughout the life cycle. Compared with solid wood floors that require cutting down a large number of trees and burning the process consumes high energy, the production process of SPC floors focuses more on energy conservation and emission reduction. By optimizing extrusion molding technology, we can reduce high-temperature treatment and reduce production energy consumption; at the same time, the factory strictly controls environmental protection measures to ensure that production wastewater and waste gas are discharged after treatment meet standards, minimizing the impact on the environment.
4.Antibacterial and antibacterial: Double protection of healthy life
In addition to the environmentally friendly advantages of the material itself, some high-end SPC floors will also add silver ion antibacterial layers or Nan scale antibacterial coatings to effectively inhibit the breeding of harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. This natural antibacterial property not only reduces the use of chemical disinfectants, but is more suitable for families with pets or children crawling, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the home environment at the root.
Choosing SPC flooring is not only a health guarantee for the family, but also a responsibility for the future of the earth. From the peace of formaldehyde to the renewable environmental protection commitment, it proves with technology and ingenuity that environmental protection and quality have never been a single choice question. The moment you step on the SPC floor, you are carrying not only the temperature of life, but also a green and sustainable future.
