TPU household floor

TPU household floor is a new generation of green environmental protection building decoration materials to meet the needs of green and green decoration. It could be used in homes, hospitals, schools, office buildings, factories, public places, shops, stadiums and other places, and has become a new trend in the decorative material industry.

The material used here is Elastollan^® TPU. It ensures high material performance by having an outstanding hydrolysis resistance and excellent resistance to micro-organisms as well as being flexible and having good resistance to low temperatures. This high performance can be achieved while still being cost efficient as it is easy to process at a stable material quality and ensures production stability to optimize the production costs. Further material benefits are good scratch resistance on film surface, environmental friendliness compared to conventional solutions and a double layer film solution which results in excellent bonding between the film and PVC floor surfaces.
