What Is PVC Marble Sheet? Quality Factors On PVC Marble Sheet

PVC marble sheet is also called PVC sheet, PVC marble, or PVC marble sheet. It is mainly made of stone powder and plastic, so technically it should be called Stone Plastic Composite Marble Sheet, SPC Marble Sheet, or SPC Marble Sheet for short.

​There are 4 main factors to determine the quality of PVC Marble Sheets: Strength, Toughness, UV coating, and Artificial level.

Strength

​There are different thicknesses that can be produced by additional suppliers, roughly from 2 to 5 mm. The weight of each sheet in the same size is different therefore, the thicker, the more serious, and at the same time the more strength. If you want it to have good power, it can not be too thin. So please make sure the thickness you are going to purchase gives the sheet good enough strength.

Different thicknesses are for different purposes the thin 2.2 mm is suitable for surface overlay decoration, 2.7 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.2 mm are a good balance for strength and cost, and 4 mm and 5 mm are for a market where these wider ones are preferred and required.

​Flexible Toughness

The adjustable toughness is a factor of this PVC marble sheet, usually, the good enough rate is very adequate for interior wall cladding and decoration, and it does not require very good toughness in features. If a buyer requires good toughness, we can make it for custom needs, like the toughness should meet the bending of 90 degrees or more. The PVC resin proportion in preparations of the formula plays a big role in this issue. The more PVC resin added, the tougher in feature, the better quality, and the more expensive. If no high requirement on toughness, a common quality level is a request for price benefit in business and marketing.

​UV Coating

​This layer is formed by fluorocarbon paint cured by UV, this is a technology called the UV curing process. It functions as the defensive layer outside to contribute to the characteristics of moisture-proof, anti scratch or wear, and corrosion like acids, alkalis, and mold. A good UV layer can form a thick enough layer that can make this item serve in good status for 25 to 30 years, but standard or poor UV coating only can achieve more than ten years or even several years.

This top UV coating layer like a glass layer on the mirror contains the cosmetic textures inside from1 being stained. It is very soft and neat, when the surface of this sheet is dusted or stained you can tidy it with a wet cloth smoothly.

So when you select the PVC marble sheet, you should think of this layer for quality purposes. Some suppliers in China did a good job on this layer coating by UV curing process to make sure this layer affords the wanted quality, but some offer economical PVC marble sheets this layer is thin. The latter can be used for projects which do not need high requirements.

​Artificial Level

Whatever you love natural stone textures like typical marble and granite, wood textures, or even 3D textures, these are all available in texture color collection options of PVC marble sheets. Custom textures also can be made if the customer can offer high definition photos.

Consumers love realistic textures for they can show fashion, attraction, and elegance in nature. Clear grade decorative texture layers inside PVC marble sheets can give artificial textures very similar to real ones, plus the UV coating layer, it is very ideal for returning natural stones or wood fabrics for interior wall cladding and decoration.

Usually, good quality PVC marble sheet possesses good imitation of natural texture colors, their prices are a little higher than economical ones with common artificial level.

Besides those 4 main quality factors mentioned above, there are also 4 other basic quality factors for this PVC marble sheet.

Impact Resistance

It also possesses very good impact resistance even with an economical thickness of 3.0 mm. The thicker, the better effect resistance, also the heavier. Plus its flexible toughness is very ideal as a new ornament material to replace other images, usually, good flexible toughness is not necessary for vertical wall paneling, but for bending exterior decoration, it is very necessary.

Fire Resistance

This component is also named fire retardant. The PVC marble sheet produced by us can reach B level tested by connected competent institutes in China and abroad.

Waterproof

This sheet is made from plastic raw material PVC resin and stone powder calcium carbonate, and other additives, the amount of these raw materials make formulas to make this sheet with good waterproof features.

VOC

The main VOC for interior ornament is formaldehyde. From the raw materials and display technology, it has this sheet was manufactured without VOC release. It is very capable for test measures in developing and developed countries.

Light Permeable

The feature of light permeable PVC marble panels can show the feature of raw materials. Usually, the better the light permeability, the better the raw materials are used for making this panel. It is simple for buyers to make the test on raw materials.
