When choosing materials for decoration, the issue of the release of harmful substances such as formaldehyde has always been a focus of concern for everyone. And due to its “zero formaldehyde” claim, vinyl flooring has gradually become a new choice for many households and public places. Next, let’s take a look at the environmental truth of vinyl flooring from various aspects.
In terms of raw materials, the main component of high-quality plastic flooring is polyvinyl chloride, which is a high-molecular material that inherently does not contain formaldehyde. Unlike traditional wooden floors that require formaldehyde-containing adhesives for bonding, plastic flooring avoids the introduction of formaldehyde at the raw material stage from the very beginning, laying a solid foundation for the “zero formaldehyde” commitment. Moreover, in the selection of raw materials, our company strictly controls to ensure that no other harmful chemical substances are added, guaranteeing the environmental friendliness of the flooring.
Looking at the production process, our factory adopts advanced extrusion molding or calendering molding techniques. Throughout the entire production process, no glue is used, thus there will be no release of harmful substances such as formaldehyde due to the use of glue. At the same time, strict quality control and environmental protection measures will be implemented during the production process to reduce the discharge of production wastewater and waste gas, making it environmentally friendly. The plastic flooring produced will also undergo professional testing to ensure that its various environmental protection indicators meet national standards, allowing consumers to use it with peace of mind.
In the logistics process, plastic flooring has the characteristics of being lightweight, wear-resistant and able to withstand pressure. This means that during transportation, excessive packaging is not necessary, which can reduce the use of packaging materials and minimize resource waste. Moreover, the lightweight nature can also reduce energy consumption during transportation and minimize the impact on the environment. During loading and unloading, it is less likely to be damaged, avoiding the need for secondary transportation and resource consumption caused by damaged goods.
The installation process is also a significant indicator of the environmental friendliness of plastic flooring. The installation of plastic flooring usually adopts lock-and-key type or adhesive type methods. However, the glue used here is a special environmentally friendly glue, with extremely low levels of harmful substances such as formaldehyde, which can be almost negligible. The lock-and-key type installation does not require the use of glue at all; it can be simply joined together. The installation process is clean and environmentally friendly, and it will not cause pollution such as formaldehyde to the indoor environment. The installation efficiency is also very high, which can shorten the construction time and reduce the impact on residents’ lives during the construction process.
In the application aspect, the environmental advantages of plastic flooring are even more prominent. It not only releases zero formaldehyde, but also has excellent wear resistance, slip resistance and water resistance, and has a long service life. During use, there is no need for frequent replacement, reducing material consumption. At the same time, plastic flooring is easy to clean and maintain. Daily cleaning only requires wiping with water or neutral cleaning agents, without the need to use cleaning agents containing irritating chemical substances, avoiding the harm of cleaning agents to the indoor environment and human health. Whether in homes, schools, hospitals or shopping malls and other places, using plastic flooring can provide people with a healthy and environmentally friendly environment.
Finally, let’s talk about the recycling process. Plastic flooring is a recyclable material. Once the flooring reaches its lifespan, it can be recycled and reprocessed to make new plastic products, achieving the recycling of resources and reducing environmental pollution caused by waste. This characteristic also aligns with the current concepts of green environmental protection and sustainable development.
In conclusion, from raw materials to production, logistics, installation, application, and recycling, plastic flooring demonstrates outstanding environmental protection features at every stage. The “zero formaldehyde” commitment is not just empty talk; it is a high-quality flooring option that truly brings people a healthy and environmentally friendly living environment.
