Direct Factory Heavy Duty PVC Sheet Flooring

Product Overview

Heavy duty PVC sheet flooring is manufactured from polyvinyl chloride resin blended with plasticizers, stabilizers, and reinforcing fillers to achieve a dense, wear‑resistant surface suitable for industrial environments.

The sheet format allows continuous installation over large areas, minimizing seams and facilitating rapid deployment in factories, warehouses, and logistics centers.

Material Composition and Key Properties

The base polymer is PVC (polyvinyl chloride) typically comprising 55‑65 % of the formulation by weight.

Plasticizers such as phthalate or non‑phthalate esters provide flexibility, while calcium‑zinc stabilizers prevent degradation during processing and service life.

Reinforcing fillers like calcium carbonate increase stiffness and impact resistance, allowing the sheet to withstand point loads up to 2 kN without permanent deformation.

Typical Technical Specifications

Performance Characteristics in Industrial Settings

The dense PVC matrix provides a low coefficient of friction (≈ 0.3 – 0.4) that facilitates easy movement of pallet jacks and reduces wear on equipment wheels.

Water absorption remains below 0.1 % after 24 h immersion, preventing swelling and maintaining dimensional stability in humid environments.

Impact resistance, measured by the falling ball test, shows no cracking when a 500 g steel ball is dropped from 1 m height onto the surface.

Typical Applications and Rationale

In manufacturing plants, the flooring must resist oil spills, chemical splashes, and heavy static loads while providing a cleanable surface that does not harbor contaminants.

• Assembly lines where metal parts are conveyed, requiring resistance to impact and abrasion.
• Cold storage facilities where low temperature flexibility prevents brittleness.
• Pharmaceutical production zones needing seamless, non‑porous surfaces for easy sanitization.
• Logistics centers with constant forklift traffic, benefiting from low friction and high load distribution.

These characteristics reduce maintenance downtime and extend service life compared to coated concrete or epoxy finishes.

Customization Options

• Thickness: 1.5 mm to 4.0 mm adjustable per load requirements.
• Wear layer: optional UV‑stabilized top coat for enhanced abrasion resistance.
• Color: standard gray, safety yellow, or custom RAL matched pigments.
• Surface texture: smooth, lightly embossed, or anti‑slip pattern per R10‑R13 classification.
• Edge treatment: straight cut, beveled, or with integrated cove base for wall protection.

All variations are formulated to maintain the core mechanical properties while meeting specific environmental or aesthetic constraints.

Quality Control Philosophy

Each batch undergoes incoming resin verification via melt flow index testing to ensure consistent viscosity.

During extrusion, thickness is monitored online with laser gauges, maintaining tolerance within ± 0.05 mm.

Finished sheets are sampled for Shore hardness, tensile strength, and chemical resistance before release, with results recorded in a traceable QC database.

Packaging and Logistics

Sheets are rolled on sturdy cardboard cores with protective polyethylene film to prevent surface scratches during transit.

Standard roll widths are 1.2 m or 1.5 m, with lengths up to 30 m, optimizing container utilization.

Palletized rolls are secured with strapping and corner protectors, meeting ISPM‑15 standards for export shipments.
