As PVC industrial plastic flooring is non-toxic, renewable and environmentally friendly, it is free of formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals. As a result, PVC industrial plastic flooring has become a desirable option as global environmental awareness increases.
Developed regions such as the United States and Europe are increasingly choosing industrial plastic flooring over traditional materials such as wood, tile and carpet. This shift is driven by the benefits of industrial plastic flooring in terms of durability, maintenance and environmental friendliness.

Industrial Plastic Flooring Types and Applications in China
Homogeneous flooring and composite flooring:
Homogeneous flooring: made of a single layer of material, very durable and suitable for high-traffic areas such as hospitals, clinics, laboratories and food plants.
Composite flooring: made of multi-layer materials (UV layer, wear-resistant layer, decorative layer, stabilising layer, underlay), excellent stability and durability, suitable for high-traffic and frequently-used commercial spaces.
Features and advantages of industrial plastic flooring
Green: Contains no radioactive elements, making it a sustainable flooring option.
Ultra-light and ultra-thin: Lightweight and space-saving, it is ideal for high-rise buildings and also favourable to the renovation of old buildings.
Ultra wear-resistant: Suitable for high traffic areas such as hospitals, schools, office buildings, shopping malls and transport hubs.
High elasticity and impact resistance: Provides better comfort and resilience against heavy impacts than harder flooring materials.
Super Slip Resistant: More slip resistant, especially in wet conditions, making it ideal for public safety areas such as airports, hospitals, kindergartens and schools.
