UV coating is processed after the extrusion and before chamfering, which is very important and necessary for processing for SPC flooring (rigid vinyl plank or rigid core LVT) because of 3 main reasons:
1. It enhances the surface wear-resistant and scratch-resistant ability. As we already know that wear layer thickness is the key criteria of standardized classification of floor coverings regarding the durability and the intensity of use. The UV coating is another shield for the top layer of SPC flooring, it contains ceramic components and makes the surface scratch resistant to different damage.
2. After UV coating, SPC flooring becomes more stain-resistant and easy to clean, dust and stain are easy to wipe out. Under the protection of UV coating, the decor film on SPC flooring becomes good at anti-fading to sunlight even near the windows.
3. Another reason for UV coating is that the UV painting can adjust the shinning degree of the flooring surface, the flooring surface after extrusion is little shinning and looks uncomfortable, but after UV coating processing the degree of light reflecting on the flooring surface can be perfectly adjusted to around 5-7 degree, and make the decor of SPC flooring looks very real and elegant as solid wood.
