SPC Wall Panel Technical Introduction
SPC Wall Panel Stone Plastic Composite is an engineered rigid core cladding material composed of 60-80% natural limestone powder polyvinyl chloride PVC and stabilizers fused under high pressure and heat Its mineral core delivers exceptional dimensional stability 100 waterproof performance and impact resistance exceeding traditional materials like wood or laminates Standard thickness ranges from 4-9 mm with density over 2 g/cm³ for structural integrity The surface features a UV resistant PUR coating and decorative layer replicating wood stone or abstract textures while requiring zero maintenance beyond simple wiping Certifications include Class A fire rating (ASTM E84) E0 formaldehyde emission (CARB NAF compliant) and mold resistance per ISO 846 Installation uses click lock T&G systems or direct adhesive application enabling glue down over existing tiles concrete or gypsum substrates completing commercial projects in 12-hour cycles
Applications Performance
Optimized for extreme moisture and high traffic environments SPC wall panels dominate healthcare hospitality and retail sectors In hospitals they prevent microbial growth with ISO 22196 certified antimicrobial options Hotel bathrooms leverage their steam resistance eliminating tile grout maintenance Commercial kitchens use grease resistant variants reducing cleaning labor by 50% Key advantages include:
Temperature resilience (-20°C to 60°C) for balconies and facades
72-hour continuous water immersion tolerance
15-year lifespan warranty in vertical installations
Recyclable material recovery rate exceeding 95%
Notable projects include Jinjiang Inn bathroom retrofits cutting renovation time by 80% and luxury retail stores using 3D textured finishes
Sustainability Innovation
SPC panels incorporate 30-70% recycled limestone from quarry waste and recyclable polymers reducing virgin resource consumption Production uses thermal fusion not formaldehyde adhesives slashing carbon footprints by 40% versus ceramic tiles Emerging technologies include:
Photocatalytic surfaces decomposing VOCs formaldehyde
Phase Change Material PCM layers improving thermal insulation by 15%
Bio based PVC derived from plant oils under development
Global sustainability certifications include GREENGUARD Gold Cradle to Cradle Silver and LEED contribution credits
