The Difference and Applicable Regions Between HPL and PVC Veneers

1. Visually, the PVC surface layer appears as irregular small square shaped electrostatic powder, while the HPL surface layer appears as small floral electrostatic powder

2. In terms of flexibility: PVC veneers are relatively soft and have good elasticity, making them comfortable to step on. HPL veneers are flake like and hard, making a crisp sound when scratched by hand. After paving, the smoothness is good, and if forcefully folded, they will break

3. Different processing techniques: PVC veneers are made from PVC resin through special processing techniques; HPL veneers are made from melamine resin through a special process

Price difference: HPL veneer usually comes in 1.0 and 1.2 specifications, while PVC veneer comes in 2.0 specifications, which is slightly higher in price than HPL.

HPL veneer (melamine veneer): a rigid anti-static special fireproof board, made of various special papers treated with phenolic and melamine resins, and then subjected to high temperature and high pressure to form a thermosetting resin decorative laminated board. Nanotechnology is used in the resin to increase its resistance to pollution, wear, and long-term elimination of static charges. It is a commonly used veneer in the anti-static flooring industry. During use, the maintenance of HPL veneer is quite simple, and the surface is wear-resistant (high abrasion resistance), heat-resistant, cleaning resistant, impermeable, dust-proof, shockproof, smoke and fire resistant, open flame resistant, scratch resistant, bright and flat. It is widely used in various industries such as electronics, telecommunications, medical hospitals, and other programmable control rooms, laboratories, universities, computer rooms, financial system digital libraries, national defense aerospace, military industry, television stations, electronic systems, telecommunications, mobile and other monitoring rooms and dispatch offices. Digital libraries and other places that require anti-static and purification are popular among the public and can be used as indoor and outdoor ground decoration materials

PVC veneer: It has long-lasting anti-static performance and stable conductivity. This product utilizes an electrostatic network formed at the interface of plastic particles, with multiple patterns on the surface. The appearance resembles marble patterns and has a good decorative effect. And it has the characteristics of wear resistance, long-lasting anti-static, aging resistance, and low dust generation. All performance indicators have been tested by the Anti static Supervision and Inspection Center of the Ministry of Information Industry and have reached or exceeded the level of similar foreign products. This product is suitable for use in electronic factories, clean rooms, microelectronics factories, communication, electronics, microelectronics, hospitals, power plants and other industries. It is widely used in anti-static areas such as program control rooms and purification rooms that require anti-static measures.

Due to significant climate differences between the north and south of our country, the environmental temperature and humidity in the computer rooms in the northern regions do not meet the technical standards and specifications set by the country. The relative dryness in the environment is too high, and melamine veneers accelerate shrinkage and cause peeling and cracking. Therefore, PVC veneers are usually used in the north, while HPL veneers are used in the south, which have good stability and are not easy to crack. PVC and HPL veneers are used in the south, and can be customized according to the temperature in the computer room, the situation of the host and auxiliary equipment.
