The process of making vinyl flooring begins with the formulation of the vinyl composition. This involves mixing various raw materials such as vinyl resin, plasticizers, stabilizers, and pigments to create a flexible and durable material. These ingredients are carefully measured and combined in precise proportions to ensure consistency and quality in the final product.
Once the vinyl composition is prepared, it undergoes a process called compounding, where it is heated and blended to form a homogeneous mixture. This mixture is then passed through rollers to create thin sheets of vinyl known as vinyl film.
Next comes the printing process, where the vinyl film is embellished with a decorative layer that mimics the look of natural materials such as hardwood, stone, or tile. High-definition printing technology allows for incredibly realistic designs, with intricate details and textures that closely resemble the real thing.
After printing, the vinyl film is coated with multiple layers of clear PVC (polyvinyl chloride) to enhance durability and protect the decorative layer from wear and tear. These layers also provide additional benefits such as scratch resistance, moisture resistance, and easy maintenance, making vinyl flooring a practical choice for any room in your home.
Once the coating process is complete, the vinyl flooring undergoes a curing process to ensure proper bonding of the layers and to enhance the overall strength and stability of the product. After curing, the flooring is cut into planks or tiles of various sizes and dimensions, ready to be installed in homes, offices, or commercial spaces.
