What material is generally used for PVC wear-resistant layer?

The PVC wear-resistant layer is usually made of a mixture of PVC resin, plasticizers, stabilizers, and other additives. The specific formulation may vary depending on the intended application and performance requirements.

The PVC wear-resistant layer is commonly used in vinyl flooring, including luxury vinyl tile (LVT), luxury vinyl plank (LVP), and sheet vinyl flooring. This layer provides protection against scratches, abrasion, and wear and tear, helping to extend the life of the flooring.

Other finished products that may use PVC wear-resistant layers include vinyl wall coverings, vinyl upholstery, and vinyl-coated fabrics. These products can be used in a range of settings, including homes, offices, hospitals, and public spaces.

PVC wear-resistant layers can vary in thickness, with thicker layers providing greater durability and protection. For example, some LVT flooring may have a wear layer thickness of 20 mils (0.5mm) or more, while sheet vinyl flooring may have a wear layer thickness of 10-20 mils (0.25-0.5mm). Thicker wear layers are typically more expensive but may be necessary in high-traffic or commercial settings where the flooring will be subjected to heavy use.
