Moreover, the entire surface of the carbon fiber conductive paper is electrically conductive at general voltage (220V), the electric current density of which is extremely low. Combined with the substrate's properties, the carbon fiber conductive paper is harmless to the human body and can be used safely.
The low-temperature heat-generating solid wood laminate floor prepared by the method in the present invention is able to reduce the designed power per unit area of the floor, such that the highest temperature of the floor surface is 50° C.-55° C., thus solving problems such as floor deformation and cracking, and enhancing heat radiation and conduction. The present invention has uniform heat generation, saves energy and protects the environment, does no harm to the human body, and is convenient and safe in use, low in cost, and simple in structure.
The foregoing are specific embodiments for the low-temperature heating-engineered wood flooring and its preparation method for the present invention. Any device and structure not described hereinabove should be understood to be implemented using existing common devices and methods this field.
