Is PVC flooring toxic?

1.From the perspective of environment:

When it comes to the topic of  using occasions of PVC flooring, PVC flooring is non-toxic. PVC flooring is a polyvinyl chloride material, which is also a very environmentally friendly green material and a renewable resource. It is commonly found in non-food grade packaging bags, garbage bags, building decorative panels, etc. in people’s lives.

The ingredients of PVC:

PVC is mainly composed of polyvinyl chloride, which is bright in color, corrosion-resistant, strong and durable. It is a popular and widely used synthetic material in the world today. Its global usage ranks second among various synthetic materials. Among the materials that can produce three-dimensional surface films, PVC is the most suitable material.

The temperature that the PVC Becomes toxic:

PVC can only slowly decompose hydrogen chloride gas that is harmful to the human body at a continuous temperature of more than 130 degrees Celsius. However, the average temperature adapted to human skin and body is between 25 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius, and the release of harmful hydrogen chloride gas in PVC flooring requires a continuous high temperature environment of more than 130 degrees, so PVC flooring is harmless to the human body.

Advantages and disadvantages of PVC floor:

Advantages:

（1）Waterproof：The surface of the waterproof and non-slip PVC floor is composed of a high-density special structure with an appearance of simulated wood patterns. It is not easy to slip when encountering water. It is suitable for families with elderly people and children.

（2）Flexibility：PVC flooring has good flexibility. It is made of elastic material, has strong impact resistance, and feels very comfortable on the feet. It also has good thermal conductivity and warmth retention. It only takes a few minutes to dissipate heat evenly, so you won’t feel cold even if you walk barefoot in winter.

（3）Wear resistance：The floor surface material is made of a special polymer material with a thickness of 0.1-0.5, which has the longest service life among products of the same brand, exceeding that of composite floors and glazed tiles.

（4）light in mass：VC floor is lighter, which is 1/10 of the weight of wooden floor and 1/20 of the weight of ceramic tile. Lightweight PVC floor can reduce the load-bearing capacity of the building, which not only ensures the safety of construction, but also is very convenient to carry.

Disadvantages:

(1) Service life:8. The service life of PVC floor is lower than that of wooden floor.

(2)High temperature shrinkage： Since PVC floor is a high molecular compound of vinyl chloride resin, it may shrink when exposed to high temperature.

(3) Dirt resistance：PVC floor has poor stain resistance, so it needs regular waxing and maintenance.

How much does PVC flooring cost per square meter?

（1）PVC flooring for sports series：The price of sports series PVC floor is between 50 yuan and 100 yuan per square meter.

（3）Homogeneous and transparent series：The price of homogeneous and transparent series of PVC flooring is between 40 yuan and 80 yuan per square meter. It is made of the same material from the surface to the bottom. Even if the surface is worn, the other layers are made of the same material as the surface.

（4）Dense bottom series：The price of the floor is 30-80 yuan/square meter. Compared with other PVC floors, it has one less foam layer, so it has better compression resistance and is suitable for places with heavy pressure. It feels comfortable underfoot, but the sound absorption function is weak.
