Their sharp claws will scratch the surface of the floor, and eventually it will look unrecognizable. Super scratch-resistant UV coating can make the surface have excellent scratch resistance. In addition, thicker UV coatings can provide better scratch resistance, but it should not be applied too thickly, which will also affect the clarity of the color film.

Super wear-resistant UV coating
This UV coating can make flooring SPC very durable and greatly extend its service life in many areas and environments. It can withstand very heavy commercial use. There are many people walking on the floor of the commercial plaza, which will cause serious tears and damage to its surface. Ordinary SPC with UV coating can only be used for about 5 years in commercial areas, while super wear-resistant UV coating will enable SPC flooring tiles to withstand the peak of human traffic in daily life.

Super anti-slip UV coating
Some special areas will require floors with extremely high anti-slip performance as the main choice, such as nursing homes and hospitals.

Super anti-smoke UV coating adds flame retardants to prevent holes, breakage and other damage to the floor.
