OEM Mohawk Click Lock Vinyl Flooring Supplier

Mohawk’s click‑lock vinyl flooring consists of a homogeneous PVC core, a reinforced fiberglass layer for dimensional stability, and a wear layer whose thickness is specified in mils (typically 12 mil to 20 mil for commercial grades). The core density ranges from 1.4 g/cm³ to 1.6 g/cm³, providing resistance to indentation under static loads up to 250 psi.

Product Construction and Materials

The wear layer is coated with a UV‑cured polyurethane finish that achieves a Taber abrasion index below 50 mg loss after 1000 cycles (CS‑17 wheel, 1000 g load). A printed décor layer uses high‑resolution photochromic inks that meet ISO 105‑B02 colorfastness (≥ 6 grade after 200 h xenon exposure). The backing includes a 0.5 mm sound‑absorbing underlayment that reduces impact sound transmission by ΔLw ≥ 18 dB.

Mechanical Performance Characteristics

Indentation resistance measured per ASTM F970 shows ≤ 0.05 mm residual depth after a 750 psi static load for 24 h. Dimensional change after exposure to 80 % RH at 40 °C for 7 days is ≤ 0.15 % (length) and ≤ 0.10 % (width). Slip resistance (wet pendulum test) yields a SRV ≥ 45, satisfying R10 classification for commercial kitchens.

Installation System Details

The click‑lock profile features a 2‑mm tongue and a 1.8‑mm groove with a 12° interlock angle, allowing a shear strength of 1.8 kN per joint before disengagement. Installation requires a flat substrate with tolerance ± 3 mm over 2 m; no adhesive is needed, and the floor can be floated over existing tile, concrete, or wood subfloors with a compatible vapor barrier.

Typical Applications and Suitability

In healthcare facilities, the flooring supports rolling loads of up to 300 kg per caster while maintaining a seamless surface that inhibits microbial growth (ISO 22196). Educational environments benefit from the low VOC emission (< 50 µg/m³) and the ability to withstand frequent chair movement without delamination. Light industrial zones (e.g., assembly lines) exploit the high impact resistance (ISO 23999‑1: ≥ 12 J) and chemical resistance to oils and solvents (ASTM D1308).

Customization Options

• Wear layer thickness: 12 mil, 16 mil, 20 mil (customizable per project)
• Plank dimensions: 6″ × 36″, 7″ × 48″, 9″ × 72″ (length tolerance ± 0.5 mm)
• Surface emboss: wood grain, stone, abstract (depth 0.1 mm–0.3 mm)
• Color palette: over 200 standard shades; Pantone matching available
• Edge treatment: beveled, square, or micro‑bevel (radius 0.2 mm)

Quality Assurance and Testing

Each production lot undergoes inline thickness measurement (± 0.02 mm) and wear‑layer adhesion testing (ASTM D4541, ≥ 5 psi). Finished boards are sampled for static load indentation, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability per ISO 10582. AQL = 0.65 for visual defects; batches exceeding this threshold are reworked or scrapped.

Packaging and Logistics

Boards are stacked in cartons of 20 planks, each carton weighing approximately 18 kg. Cartons are placed on Euro‑pallets (800 mm × 1200 mm) with a maximum height of 1.2 m, stretch‑wrapped with 80 µm PE film, and corner‑protected. Pallets are labeled with batch code, product SKU, and QR code linking to the test certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can dimensions be customized? Yes, plank length and width can be adjusted within the limits of the extrusion dies; contact us with your required sizes for a feasibility review.
• What information is needed before quotation? Provide the total area, desired wear‑layer thickness, finish type, and any special performance criteria (e.g., chemical resistance, acoustic rating).
• Which materials are available for the wear layer? We offer UV‑cured polyurethane, ceramic‑enhanced PU, and optionally a silver‑ion antimicrobial additive.
• How is quality inspected? Every lot undergoes dimensional, mechanical, and visual checks per ISO 10582; test certificates are supplied with each shipment.
• What packaging options exist? Standard cartons, palletized loads, or custom crating for overseas container shipments.
• How are export shipments protected? Pallets are stretch‑wrapped, corner‑boarded, and fitted with moisture‑barrier liners; optional fumigated wood pallets are available.
• What is the typical production lead time? For standard colors, 3–4 weeks after approval of samples; custom colors or embossing add 1–2 weeks.
• How are samples arranged? We can send 2 × 2 ft sample boxes via express freight; charges are credited against the first order.
