身为地板工厂的技术员,在长期钻研石晶地板的过程中,我深刻领悟到耐磨层厚度对于石晶地板的关键意义,毫不夸张地说,耐磨层越厚越好。
先讲讲日常磨损场景下的显著差异。我们曾在模拟家庭客厅使用环境的实验室中做过测试,选用了两款石晶地板,一款耐磨层厚度为 0.3mm,另一款达 0.6mm。在经过相同的 10 万次桌椅移动模拟摩擦后,0.3mm 耐磨层的地板表面出现了明显的细微划痕,凑近观察,划痕分布密集,用手触摸能明显感觉到凹凸不平;反观 0.6mm 耐磨层的地板,仅出现少量极浅的擦痕,几乎不影响视觉观感,地板表面依旧光滑平整。这清晰地展现出在应对家具挪动这类频繁摩擦时,更厚的耐磨层能极大程度降低磨损程度,长久保持地板美观。像我曾走访的一户家庭,客厅安装了厚耐磨层石晶地板,使用 5 年后,地板除了因光照有些许褪色外,表面几乎没有因日常走动、孩子玩耍造成的明显划痕,依旧光洁如新,而邻居家使用普通厚度耐磨层地板,不到 3 年划痕就已遍布,视觉效果大打折扣。
耐用性方面,同样有令人信服的数据支撑。在加速老化实验中,模拟商业场所高强度使用,让地板经受持续的踩踏、重物拖拉。一组耐磨层 0.4mm 的石晶地板,在相当于正常使用 3 年的模拟时长后,耐磨层出现局部磨穿现象,基材开始暴露,地板结构稳定性受到影响,出现轻微变形;而另一组耐磨层 0.8mm 的石晶地板,经过长达 8 年的等效模拟使用,耐磨层虽有一定程度磨损,但依然完整地保护着基材,地板整体结构稳固,没有出现变形、开裂等问题。某大型商场在翻新时选择了我们厚耐磨层石晶地板,日均客流量数千人次,使用 4 年后,地板磨损微小,未出现因频繁踩踏导致的严重损耗,大大降低了维护成本,若换做普通耐磨层地板,恐怕早已伤痕累累,需要大面积更换。
抗污表现上,厚耐磨层的优势同样突出。我们将等量的油污分别倒在 0.35mm 和 0.7mm 耐磨层的石晶地板样板上,静置 30 分钟后擦拭。0.35mm 耐磨层的地板,油污渗入了一定深度,擦拭后仍残留淡淡的污渍痕迹;而 0.7mm 耐磨层的地板,油污基本停留在表面,用湿布轻轻一擦就干干净净,表面毫无残留。曾有一家餐厅反馈,之前铺设的普通石晶地板,厨房区域经常有油污沾染,时间一久,污渍渗入,怎么清洁都有印子,后来换成厚耐磨层石晶地板,即使偶尔有大面积油污泼溅,及时清理后也不会留下难看的污渍,日常打理轻松许多。
防滑性能测试中,厚耐磨层的作用也不容小觑。利用专业的摩擦系数测试仪,对 0.4mm 和 0.8mm 耐磨层石晶地板在干燥、潮湿环境下分别测量。干燥时,0.4mm 耐磨层地板摩擦系数为 0.5,0.8mm 耐磨层地板可达 0.65;潮湿环境下,差距更为明显,前者摩擦系数降至 0.35,后者仍能维持在 0.5 左右。在一个社区老年活动中心的卫生间,原本使用的普通地板,每逢雨后潮湿时,老人滑倒事故时有发生,更换为厚耐磨层石晶地板后,因防滑性能提升,滑倒现象大幅减少,为老人提供了更安全的活动空间。
在工厂生产环节,为保障厚耐磨层的卓越品质,我们从原材料筛选就严格把关,选用高强度、高耐磨的高分子材料,确保耐磨层的致密性。生产过程中,运用精密的涂布工艺,使耐磨层厚度均匀,误差控制在极小范围内。每一批次产品出厂前,都要经过多轮严格检测,模拟各种真实使用场景测试性能,只为向市场输送高品质、厚耐磨层的石晶地板。
总之,石晶地板的耐磨层厚度直接关联其耐磨性、耐用性、抗污性与防滑性能,越厚越能在多样复杂的环境下表现出色,延长使用寿命。作为技术员,我将和团队持续精进,为消费者打造更优质的石晶地板,让家居、商用环境都能因它而更美好。
As a technician in a flooring factory, I have deeply realized the key significance of the thickness of the wear-resistant layer for stone crystal floors in the process of long-term research on stone crystal floors. It is no exaggeration to say that the thicker the wear-resistant layer, the better.
Let's talk about the significant differences in daily wear scenarios first. We have done tests in a laboratory that simulates the use environment of a family living room. We selected two
spc flooring, one with a wear-resistant layer thickness of 0.3mm and the other with a thickness of 0.6mm. After the same 100,000 simulated frictions of moving tables and chairs, the surface of the floor with a 0.3mm wear-resistant layer showed obvious fine scratches. When you look closely, the scratches are densely distributed, and you can clearly feel the unevenness by touching it with your hands; on the other hand, the floor with a 0.6mm wear-resistant layer has only a few very shallow scratches, which hardly affects the visual perception, and the surface of the floor is still smooth and flat. This clearly shows that when dealing with frequent friction such as furniture movement, a thicker wear-resistant layer can greatly reduce the degree of wear and keep the floor beautiful for a long time. For example, a family I visited installed a stone crystal floor with a thick wear-resistant layer in the living room. After 5 years of use, the floor has almost no obvious scratches caused by daily walking and children playing, except for some fading due to light. The surface is still as bright and clean as new. However, the neighbor's family uses a floor with a normal wear-resistant layer, and scratches have been everywhere in less than 3 years, greatly reducing the visual effect.
In terms of durability, there is also convincing data support. In the accelerated aging experiment, the high-intensity use of commercial places is simulated, and the floor is subjected to continuous trampling and heavy dragging. A group of stone crystal floors with a wear-resistant layer of 0.4mm, after a simulation time equivalent to 3 years of normal use, the wear-resistant layer was partially worn out, the substrate began to be exposed, the stability of the floor structure was affected, and slight deformation occurred; while another group of stone crystal floors with a wear-resistant layer of 0.8mm, after 8 years of equivalent simulated use, although the wear-resistant layer was worn to a certain extent, it still completely protected the substrate, and the overall structure of the floor was stable, without deformation, cracking and other problems. A large shopping mall chose our thick wear-resistant layer stone crystal floor during renovation. The average daily passenger flow is thousands of people. After 4 years of use, the floor is slightly worn and there is no serious loss caused by frequent trampling, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost. If it is replaced with an ordinary wear-resistant floor, it may have been scarred and need to be replaced on a large scale.
In terms of anti-fouling performance, the advantages of thick wear-resistant layer are also outstanding. We poured the same amount of oil on the stone crystal floor samples with 0.35mm and 0.7mm wear-resistant layers, respectively, and wiped them after standing for 30 minutes. For the floor with 0.35mm wear-resistant layer, the oil penetrated to a certain depth, and there were still faint stains after wiping; while for the floor with 0.7mm wear-resistant layer, the oil basically stayed on the surface, and it was cleaned with a damp cloth, and there was no residue on the surface. A restaurant once reported that the kitchen area of the ordinary stone crystal floor that was previously laid was often stained with oil. After a long time, the stains penetrated and left marks no matter how they were cleaned. Later, they were replaced with stone crystal floors with thick wear-resistant layers. Even if there were occasional large-scale oil splashes, they would not leave ugly stains after timely cleaning, making daily maintenance much easier.
In the anti-slip performance test, the role of the thick wear-resistant layer should not be underestimated. Using a professional friction coefficient tester, the 0.4mm and 0.8mm wear-resistant layer stone crystal floors were measured in dry and wet environments. When dry, the friction coefficient of the 0.4mm wear-resistant layer floor is 0.5, and the 0.8mm wear-resistant layer floor can reach 0.65; in a wet environment, the difference is more obvious, the friction coefficient of the former drops to 0.35, and the latter can still maintain around 0.5. In the bathroom of a community elderly activity center, the ordinary floor used originally, when it was wet after rain, the elderly often slipped. After replacing it with a thick wear-resistant layer of stone crystal floor, the anti-slip performance was improved, and the slip phenomenon was greatly reduced, providing a safer activity space for the elderly.
In the factory production process, in order to ensure the excellent quality of the thick wear-resistant layer, we strictly control the selection of raw materials, select high-strength and high-wear-resistant polymer materials to ensure the density of the wear-resistant layer. During the production process, a precise coating process is used to make the thickness of the wear-resistant layer uniform and the error is controlled within a very small range. Before each batch of products leaves the factory, it must undergo multiple rounds of rigorous testing to simulate various real-life usage scenarios to test the performance, just to deliver high-quality, thick wear-resistant layer of stone crystal flooring to the market.
In short, the thickness of the wear-resistant layer of the stone crystal floor is directly related to its wear resistance, durability, stain resistance and anti-slip performance. The thicker it is, the better it can perform in a variety of complex environments and extend its service life. As a technician, I will continue to improve with my team to create better quality stone crystal floors for consumers, so that home and commercial environments can be better because of it.
