In commercial spaces—from high-traffic flooring and hospitals to industrial workshops and schools—flooring durability directly impacts operational costs and safety. As a leading manufacturer of commercial PVC flooring, Dongxing Plastic has focused on solving the core pain point of “short service life due to insufficient wear resistance” for global clients.

Our heavy duty non-slip vinyl flooring, equipped with PU/PUR coating and dense structure, not only meets international wear-resistant standards but also balances slip resistance, environmental protection, and cost-effectiveness.

What Is Heavy Duty Non-Slip Vinyl Flooring?​

Heavy duty non-slip vinyl flooring (also known as commercial grade PVC flooring) is a specialized flooring material designed for high-wear, high-traffic commercial environments. Unlike residential vinyl flooring, it has three core characteristics:​

Superior Wear Resistance: Withstands long-term foot traffic, rolling loads (e.g., shopping carts, medical carts), and occasional impacts without surface scratches or deformation.​
Reliable Slip Resistance: Complies with international anti-slip standards (e.g., EU R9/R10, US ASTM D2047) to reduce accident risks in wet or oily environments (e.g., restaurant kitchens, hospital corridors).​
Durable Structure: Typically consists of 4 layers—wear layer (PU/PUR or PVC), decorative layer (print film), dense core layer, and backing layer—ensuring stability in temperature fluctuations (-20℃ to 60℃) and humidity changes (RH 30%-80%).​

Core Technical Advantages of Dongxing Plastic Commercial Flooring Series

We employ an advanced production process combining calendering and coating techniques, featuring core technologies such as DST surface treatment and calcium-free foaming. Our commercial flooring integrates properties including wear resistance, stain resistance, moisture resistance, dust resistance, corrosion resistance, and anti-static properties. Commercial flooring materials meeting your requirements can be supplied wholesale according to the following list:

Homogeneous Vinyl Flooring: Hospitals, airports, shopping centres, etc.
Multi-layer composite flooring (heterogeneous flooring): Suitable for schools, offices, hotels, etc.
Anti-static flooring: Ideal for data centres, laboratories, hospital operating theatres, etc.

1. PU/PUR Coating
Ordinary commercial Vinyl flooring uses a PVC top layer, which tends to fade or peel after 2-3 years of high traffic. Dongxing Plastic adopts modified PU/PUR (Polyurethane/Polyurethane Reactive) coating, a high-molecular polymer with strong cross-linking properties, offering three major advantages:​
High Hardness & Scratch Resistance: After curing at 120℃, the coating forms a dense protective film with a pencil hardness of ≥3H (ASTM D3363 standard), resisting scratches from metal objects (e.g., chair legs, toolboxes).​
Abrasion Resistance Beyond Standards: In the ISO 10581 “Abrasion Resistance of Flooring” test, our PU/PUR-coated flooring achieves over 4,000 revolutions (Class 4, the highest level for commercial use), while ordinary PVC flooring only reaches 2,000-3,000 revolutions.​
Easy Maintenance & Stain Resistance: The non-porous surface of PU/PUR coating prevents oil, ink, or food stains from penetrating. Daily cleaning only requires mopping with neutral detergent—no frequent waxing, saving 50% of maintenance costs annually.​
2. Dense Core Layer
Wear resistance is not just about the surface; the core layer’s density determines the flooring’s ability to resist compression and deformation. Dongxing’s heavy duty vinyl flooring uses a high-density PVC core (density ≥1.8g/cm³), made by mixing PVC resin with calcium carbonate and plasticizers in a precise ratio, then pressing at high temperature (180℃) and high pressure (20MPa). This structure ensures:​
Compression Resistance: Withstands rolling loads up to 500kg/m² (ASTM D2794 standard), suitable for warehouse areas with pallet trucks or factory workshops with heavy equipment.​
Dimensional Stability: In the EN 14411 “Dimensional Stability of Flooring” test, the thermal expansion coefficient is ≤0.2mm/m·℃, avoiding warping or gaps in hot/cold environments (e.g., commercial kitchens with ovens, cold storage access areas).​
Sound Insulation & Impact Absorption: The dense core layer reduces footstep noise by 18-22dB, meeting the noise requirements of hospitals (≤45dB) and schools (≤50dB), while absorbing 30% of impact energy to protect the subfloor.​

3. Compliance with Global Standards​
To ensure compatibility with international markets, all Dongxing’s heavy duty non-slip vinyl flooring meets or exceeds key standards:​
Wear Resistance: ISO 10581 Class 4, EN 14411 Class 34 (for heavy commercial use).​
Slip Resistance: EU R10 (wet conditions), US ANSI A137.1 (coefficient of friction ≥0.5).​
Environmental Protection: EU E1 (VOC emission ≤0.124mg/m³), US GREENGUARD, and China GB/T 4085-2015.​
Fire Safety: EU EN 13501-1 Class Bfl-s1 (low smoke, no dripping), US NFPA 253 (flame spread index ≤25).

Professional Installation Recommendations

Correct installation is a key factor in ensuring the performance and longevity of PVC flooring.

Subfloor Preparation: The surface must be level, dry, clean, and solid. Uneven surfaces may cause premature wear and unevenness in the flooring. The moisture content of concrete subfloors should not exceed 2.5%, with a neutral pH value.

Installation Method Selection:

Fully Adhesive Method: Suitable for high-traffic commercial areas, ensuring complete floor fixation to prevent movement and edge lifting.
Loose Lay Method: Suitable for small to medium-sized rooms, with floor edges secured using skirting boards.
Seam Treatment: For large-scale installations or high-hygiene environments (e.g., hospitals, laboratories), hot-melt welding is recommended to create seamless joints (gap ≤ 0.1mm), minimising dirt accumulation.

Environmental Adaptation: Prior to installation, acclimatise flooring in the installation environment for at least 24 hours to adjust to ambient temperature and humidity. Maintain installation temperatures between 15-30°C with relative humidity not exceeding 60%.
Professional Installation Team: Engage experienced installation teams familiar with product characteristics and installation requirements. Such teams can manage diverse scenarios to ensure installation quality.
