The present disclosure relates to the field of floor manufacturing, and in particular, to multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floors and manufacturing methods thereof.
A stone plastic floor (SPC) is a multi-layer PVC floor with advantages of mildew proof, moisture proof, fire prevention, wear-resistant, simple installation, and long service life, which is widely used in indoor floor decoration. In general, a base material layer of a multi-layer stone plastic floor is extruded by a thermal fusion process with natural stone powder (e.g., calcium carbonate powder) and polymer resin (e.g., polyvinyl chloride, PVC) as main raw materials. In order to reduce cost, a large number of inorganic fillers are usually added. However, a thermal stability of PVC material is poor, adding the inorganic filler will increase brittleness of the PVC material, and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) toughening will reduce a vicat softening point of the floor due to adding an additive of CPE. The floor is easily to warp and deform, arch, and fall off and fracture of the latch, and the service life of the floor is reduced.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a stone plastic floor with good thermal stability and minor thermal deformations.
One aspect of some embodiments of the present disclosure provides a multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor. The multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor may include at least one co-extrusion plastic layer. The co-extrusion stone plastic layer at least includes a first stable layer, a stone plastic rigid layer, and a second stable layer successively. In some embodiments, the at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer includes a functional improvement agent, and a thickness ratio of the first stable layer, the stone plastic rigid layer and the second stable layer is (0.3-1):2:(1.0-1.4).
One aspect of some embodiments of the present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor. The method may include obtaining a first mixture by mixing materials of at least one of a first stable layer and a second stable layer, obtaining a first ingredient by stirring the first mixture; obtaining a second mixture by mixing materials of the stone plastic rigid layer, obtaining a second ingredient by mixing the second mixture; and obtaining a co-extrusion stone plastic layer by extruding the first mixture and the second mixture through an extruder, wherein the co-extrusion stone plastic layer includes a three-layer structure, from top to bottom, the first stable layer, the stone plastic rigid layer and the second stable layer successively.

A co-extrusion stone plastic floor may be a floor with a multi-layer structure. In some embodiments, the co-extrusion stone plastic floor may at least include one or more co-extrusion stone plastic layers. The co-extrusion stone plastic layer may refer to a structure for providing support for the co-extrusion stone plastic floor. For example, the co-extrusion stone plastic layer may provide main strength or hardness for the co-extrusion stone plastic floor.
In some embodiments, the co-extrusion stone plastic layer of the co-extrusion stone plastic floor may be a multi-layer structure. The co-extrusion stone plastic layer may include a stable layer and a stone plastic rigid layer. The stable layer may refer to a structural layer for stabilizing other layers when other layers in the co-extrusion stone plastic floor are deformed. The stone plastic rigid layer may be a structural layer for providing intensity and support for the co-extrusion stone plastic floor.
In some embodiments, a count of the stable layer and/or the stone plastic rigid layer in the co-extrusion stone plastic floor may be one or more. In some embodiments, materials of each of the one or more stable layers may be the same or different. In some embodiments, materials of each of the one or more stone plastic rigid layers may be the same or different.
In some embodiments, an order between different layers in the co-extrusion stone plastic layer may be that the stone plastic rigid layer is located between the stable layers, or the stone plastic rigid layer is located above the stable layers. In some embodiments, two adjacent layers may be connected in a variety of ways. For example, two adjacent layers may be connected by adhesives. In some embodiments, the adhesives may refer to materials, such as polylactic acid (PLA) resins, phenolic resins (PF), etc., that cause objects to bond with each other. Alternatively, two adjacent layers may be connected by hot pressing. It should be understood that connection methods between different adjacent layers may be the same or different.
In some embodiments, the co-extrusion stone plastic layer may include two stable layers and a stone plastic rigid layer. As shown in
The first stable layer may refer to a structural layer for stabilizing other layers in the co-extrusion stone plastic floor. For example, the first stable layer may be a structural layer that provides downward tension during thermal expansion and cold contraction of other layers (e.g., an Ultra-Violet (UV) coating layer, a wear-resistant layer, etc.) located above the first stable layer of the co-extrusion stone plastic floor (e.g., a co-extrusion stone plastic floor 200). More descriptions regarding details of the other layers may be found elsewhere in the present disclosure.
In some embodiments, the first stable layer may cause minor deformation under external forces of the other layers (e.g., other layers located above the first stable layer). For example, when a pressure is 2000 pounds per square inch (psi), a deformation of the first stable layer may be less than 0.13 mm, where 1 psi=0.006895 Mpa. For example, the first stable layer may be a rigid material layer. The materials of the first stable layer may prevent the first stable layer from deformation under external forces, thereby ensuring a compressive strength of the stone plastic floor and preventing brittle fracture of the stone plastic floor.
In some embodiments, at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer includes a functional improvement agent.
The functional improvement agent is a substance added to a polymer that increases the plasticity and flexibility of the polymer, promotes the plasticisation of the material, improves the fluidity, dispersibility, and the heat resistance of the material, and improves the processing properties of the polymer. In some embodiments, at least one of the first stable layer or the second stable layer may include a variety of functional improvement agents. For example, at least one of the first stable layer or the second stable layer may include both a first functional improvement agent and a second functional improvement agent.
In some embodiments, the first functional improvement agent may be dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dioctyl phthalate (DOP), epoxidised soybean oil, trimethylene phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, dioctyl sebacate or chlorinated paraffin, glyceryl tribenzoate, etc. The first functional improvement agent in the embodiment of the present disclosure has good compatibility with PVC and a good plasticizing effect, which can increase the flexibility of the floor when it is used as a component of the mixture to prepare the floor at room temperature.
The functional improvement agent may also be other substances with a plasticizing or plasticity improving effect. In some embodiments, the second functional improvement agent may be a processing improvement agent synthesised by a special polymerisation process based on a lipid such as acrylic acid and a multifunctional new polymeric material. The new polymeric material includes, but is not limited to, methyl methacrylate, butadiene, styrene terpolymer, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, nitrile rubber, etc. The second functional improvement agent not only has a conventional modifier core-shell structure, bu also is dispersed in PVC to form a sea-island structure and a crossbone-frame structure, while not affecting the inherent chemical and physical properties of PVC. In some embodiments, the functional improvement agent may be an impact resistant ester. In some embodiments, the impact resistant ester may include nano-silica, which has good hydrophobic properties.
In some embodiments, a weight percentage of the first functional improvement agent in the floor is within a range of 0.5%-2% and a weight percentage of the second functional improvement agent in the floor is within a range of 0.1%-0.4%. In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the first functional improvement agent in the floor is within a range of 1%-2% and the weight percentage of the second functional improvement agent in the floor is within a range of 0.2%-0.4%.

In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the PVC in the at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer may be within a ragne of 23%-26%. In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the PVC in the at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer may be 25.44%.
In some embodiments, at least one of the first stable layer, the stone plastic rigid layer and the second stable layer includes composite particles of acrylate copolymer (ACR)/nano SiO2, a weight ratio of a weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 to a weight of the PVC in the stone plastic rigid layer may be within a range of 0.8%-15%, and a weight ratio of the weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 to a weight of the PVC in the at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer may be within a range of 4%-15%.

In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 to the weight of the PVC in the at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer may be within a range of 10%-15%.
In some embodiments, the first stable layer may include composite particles of ACR)/nano SiO2.
The composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be chemical substances prepared based on ACR and nano SiO2. In some embodiments, the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be nanoparticles. For example, a particle size of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be within a range of 20 nm to 80 nm. It should be understood that the particle size of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be determined based on the nano SiO2, which is used to prepare the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2
In some embodiments, the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be prepared in a variety of methods. For example, the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be obtained by physical or mechanical mixing ACR and nano SiO2. For example, the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be obtained by chemical mixing ACR and nano SiO2.
In some embodiments, the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be obtained by dispersing the nano SiO2 particles that are surface modified by a modifier in an acrylate monomer and polymerizing the acrylate monomer to obtain a grafted polymer chain by an allyl group. For example, the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 are prepared by dispersing nano SiO2 that is modified by a coupling agent of methacrylic acid-3-trimethoxysilane (MPS) in an acrylic acid monomer and polymerizing the acrylic acid monomer to obtain a micro lotion polymer.
In some embodiments, the second stable layer may refer to a structural layer for stabilizing other layers of the co-extrusion stone floor. For example, the second stable layer may be a structural layer that provides downward tension during thermal expansion and cold contraction of the other layers (e.g., a first stable layer, a stone plastic rigid layer, an UV coating layer, a wear-resistant layer, etc.) located above the second stable layer of the co-extrusion stone plastic floor.
In some embodiments, the second stable layer may cause minor deformation under external forces of the other layers (e.g., other layers located above the second stable layer). For example, when the pressure is 2000 psi, the deformation of the second stable layer is less than 0.13 mm, where 1 psi=0.006895 Mpa. Similar to the first stable layer, the second stable layer may be a rigid material layer.
In some embodiments, a size change rate of the second stable layer may be within a range of 0 to 0.12% within a temperature range of −15° C. to 80° C.
In some embodiments, the second stable layer may include the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2. More descriptions regarding the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be found elsewhere in the present disclosure.
The stone plastic rigid layer may refer to a structural layer for providing strength and support for the co-extrusion plastic floor.
In some embodiments, the stone plastic rigid layer may include the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2.
In some embodiments, the stone plastic rigid layer, the first stable layer, and the second stable layer may also include other ingredients. More descriptions regarding the other ingredients may be found elsewhere in the present disclosure.
The co-extrusion stone plastic layer on the co-extrusion stone plastic floor set as a three-layer structure can effectively control the overall stability of the co-extrusion stone plastic floor and the warped tile shape caused by the shrinkage of the other layers of the co-extrusion stone plastic floor. At the same time, the stone plastic rigid layer in the co-extrusion stone plastic layer can ensure the strength of the co-extrusion stone plastic floor and improve the thermal resistance and creep resistance of the co-extrusion stone plastic floor.
Moreover, the performance of the co-extrusion stone plastic floor may be significantly improved by adding the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 into the floor (for example, the stable layer or the stone plastic rigid layer). The composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be nanoparticles that have size effect, local field effect, and quantum effect, which shows excellent properties (including improving the strength of the floor and improving the thermal deformation resistance of the floor by increasing the Vicat softening point of the floor) that conventional materials do not have.
As mentioned above, the co-extrusion plastic floors may also include other layers in addition to the co-extrusion plastic layer. In some embodiments, the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor may also include at least one of following structural layers: a UV coating layer, a wear-resistant layer, or a color film layer. More descriptions regarding the UV coating layer, the wear-resistant layers, and the color film layers may be found elsewhere in the present disclosure, e.g.,
In some embodiments, an ACR grafting rate on a surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be within a range of 70% to 110%.
The ACR grafting rate may refer to the efficiency of combining other functional groups through chemical bonds on a formula of ACR. The other functional groups may refer to added atoms or atomic groups that determine chemical properties of organic compounds. For example, the other functional groups may include methyl, epoxy groups, or the like.
In some embodiments, weights of element carbon (C), element hydrogen (H), and element nitrogen (N) in the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be determined by elemental analysis. A weight of organic matter (e.g., a weight of grafted polymer, a weight of nano SiO2, etc.) may be determined, and then the grafting rate may be calculated according to the following formula (1):
Different grafting rates on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may have different effects on the performance of the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor. Specifically, the effects on the performance of the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor may be reflected by a group of experiments as follows.
In the group of experiments, the first stable layer and the second stable layer of the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor include 100 parts by weight of the PVC, 270 parts by weight of inorganic filler, 1.5 parts by weight of polyethylene wax, 10 parts by weight of stabilizer, 1.4 parts by weight of stearic acid, 0.6 parts by weight of oxidized polyethylene wax, 15 parts by weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 with different grafting rate, and 0.5 parts by weight of carbon black, respectively. The stone plastic rigid layer of the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor includes 100 parts by weight of the PVC, 360 parts by weight of the inorganic filler, 1.2 parts by weight of the polyethylene wax, 5 parts by weight of the stabilizer, 1.0 parts by weight of the stearic acid, 10 parts by weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 with different grafting rate, and 10 parts by weight of glass beads.
The experimental results include an impact strength of the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor. The impact strength may be energy absorbed by a unit cross-sectional area when a sample is broken under an impact load. The impact load may refer to a load that acts on an object in a very short time.
The experimental results are as follows:
The experimental data show that when the materials of the first stable layer, the second stable layer, and the stone plastic rigid layer are the same and the ACR grafting rate of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 is 70%, 85%, 100%, and 110%, respectively, the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor has a better impact resistance than the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor with the ACR grafting rate of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 being 0%. The ACR grafting rate is 0%, indicating that the ACR is not combined with SiO2 through a chemical bond and the ACR is not modified when nano SiO2 particles are mixed with the ACR. The impact resistance may reflect the toughening effect of the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor. For example, the better the impact resistance is, the better the toughening effect is. It should be understood that the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor has an excellent toughening effect when the ACR grafting rate on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 is within a range of 70% to 110%. At the same time, the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be dispersed into fine particles and suspended in the PVC, so as to increase the toughening effect of the PVC, causing that the toughening effect of the PVC with the composite particles ACR/nano SiO2 is significantly better than the toughening effect of the nano SiO2 particles and unmodified ACR. The experimental data may be used as the basis of relevant embodiments.
In some embodiments, the ACR grafting rate on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be 70%. The stone plastic floor has an excellent toughening effect when the ACR grafting rate on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 is 70%.
In some embodiments, the ACR grafting rate on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be 85%. The stone plastic floor has an excellent toughening effect when the ACR grafting rate on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 is 85%. At the same time, the impact resistance, impact strength, static bending strength, fracture elongation displacement, and warpage of the stone plastic floor reach an excellent comprehensive performance in product design.
In some embodiments, the ACR grafting rate on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be 100%. The stone plastic floor has the best toughening effect when the ACR grafting rate on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 is 100%.
In some embodiments, the ACR grafting rate on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be 110%. The stone plastic floor also has an excellent toughening effect when the grafting rate on the surface of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 is 110%.
As mentioned above, the stable layer and stone plastic rigid layer may include a plurality of ingredients. For example, the stable layer and the stone plastic rigid layer may also include PVC in addition to the mentioned composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2. In some embodiments, the stone plastic rigid layer may include PVC. In some embodiments, at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer may include PVC.
In some embodiments, a weight percentage of the PVC in the stone plastic rigid layer may be within a range of 18% to 21%. In some embodiments, a weight percentage of the PVC in the at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer may be within a range of 25% to 30%. In some embodiments, a weight ratio of a weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 in a layer to a weight of the PVC in the corresponding layer is within a range of 10% to 15%. For example, a weight ratio of a weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 in the stone plastic rigid layer to a weight of the PVC in the stone plastic rigid layer is within a range of 10% to 15%.
In some embodiments, the weight ratio of a weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 in a layer to a weight of the PVC in the corresponding layer may be 10%.
In some embodiments, the weight percentage in the stone plastic rigid layer may be 19.5%. The weight percentage of the PVC in the at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer may be 27%. In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the wight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 in a layer to the weight of the PVC in the corresponding layer may be 12.5%.
In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the PVC in the stone plastic rigid layer may be 20%. The weight percentage of the PVC in the at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer may be 28%. In some embodiments, the weight ratio of a weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 in a layer to the weight of the PVC in the corresponding layer may be 13%.
In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the PVC in the stone plastic rigid layer may be 21%. The weight percentage of the PVC in the at least one of the first stable layer and the second stable layer may be 30%. In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 in a layer to the weight of the PVC in the corresponding layer may be 15%.
In some embodiments, the stone plastic rigid layer further includes glass beads, and a weight ratio of a weight of the glass beads to the weight of the PVC in the stone plastic rigid layer is within a range of 3%-15%. In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the weight of the glass beads to the weight of the PVC in the stone plastic rigid layer is within a range of 3%-10%.

In some embodiments, for a total of 526.8 parts by weight of the stone plastic rigid layer, the stone plastic rigid layer may include 10-15 parts by weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2. For example, for a total of 526.8 parts by weight of the stone plastic rigid layer, the weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2 may be 12.5 parts.
In some embodiments, for a total of 390.1-554.4 parts by weight of the stone plastic rigid layer, a composition of the stone plastic rigid layer includes 1-5 parts by weight of stiffening agent.
The stiffening agent is a substance added to a polymer to increase the impact resistance of the polymer, e.g. a core-shell structured polymer, a net polymer, a copolymer of monomers such as methyl methacrylate (acrylate), or other substances that meet the definition of the stiffening agent. In some embodiments, the stiffening agent may include a pentaerythritol lipid additive, which improves the thermal stability and release properties of the material. In some embodiments, the stiffening agent may be an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, which improves the flexibility, impact resistance, filler compatibility and heat sealing properties of the product. When the stiffening agent (also known as an impact modifier) is added to the floor formulation, the elastomeric particles of the impact modifier reduce the total silver grain initiating stress and use the spoon deformation and shear bands of the particles to prevent the silver grain from expanding and growing, absorbing the impact energy transferred into the material, thus achieving impact resistance.
Different contents of first functional improvement agents may have different effects on the performance test results of multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor. Specifically, the specific effect of the content of the first functional improvement agent on the performance of the floor may be demonstrated through the following set of experiments.
In the following embodiments, the test items for the floor include: a static bending strength, a breaking elongation displacement, a heating warpage, a heating size change rate, a tank pavement test, small tank test and cold resistance. The breaking elongation displacement is used to describe the ductility of the floor when it breaks in tension, which is the maximum strain or elongation before the floor breaks in a tensile test. The heating size change rate rate is used to reflect the extent to which the floor changes in size when heated at 80° C. for 6 hours and then returned to 23±2° C. The tank pavement test is used to reflect the warpage of the floor joints and the small tank test is used to reflect the warpage of a single piece of floor. The tank pavement test includes: placing a flat inorganic board that can penetrate water vapour on a certain area of the tank, paving a finished floor above the inorganic board, setting the water temperature at 23±2° C. (automatically heating up when the temperature is below 23° C., stopping heating up when the temperature is above 23° C.), the floor humidity being 65-75%, and testing the degree of verticalvertical and horizontal warpage of the floor after 672 hours. The small tank test includes: placing a flat fibre cement board that can penetrate water vapour on a certain area of a small water tank, placing a sample with a size of 178 cm*534 mm on the cement board, setting the water temperature in a range of 50-60° C., and testing the degree of horizontal and vertical warpage of the floor after 48 hours. The cold resistance reflects a degree of size change of the floor after the floor is placed at −18° C. for 6 hours and placed at 23±2° C. for 12 hours. For more information about the test methods for heating warpage and heating size change rate, please refer to the later sections.

In the group of experiments, the first stable layer and the second stable layer of the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor include 100 parts by weight of the PVC, 270 parts by weight of the inorganic filler, 1.5 parts by weight of the polyethylene wax, 10 parts by weight of the stabilizers, 1.4 parts by weight of the stearic acid, 0.6 parts by weight of the oxidized polyethylene wax, 15 parts by weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2, and 0.5 parts by weight of the carbon black, respectively. The stone plastic rigid layer of the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor includes 100 parts by weight of the PVC, 360 parts by weight of the inorganic filler, 1.2 parts by weight of the polyethylene wax, 5 parts by weight of the stabilizers, 1.0 parts by weight the stearic acid, 10 parts by weight of the composite particles of ACR/nano SiO2, and the weight of the glass beads as variables.
The experimental results may include the static bending strength, a breaking elongation displacement, the heating warpage, a heating size change rate, and the thermal deformation vicat, where the breaking elongation displacement refers to a displacement of an object passed when it is broken and the heating size change rate refers to a degree of size change of the object when it recovers to 23±2° C. after heating at 80° C. for 6 hours.
The experimental results are as follows:
The experimental data show that when the weight of the glass beads in the stone plastic rigid layer is 10 parts, 12.5 parts, and 15 parts, respectively, the stone plastic floor has a better impact resistance and thermal stability than the stone plastic floor with the weight of the glass beads being 0. It should be understood that the stone plastic floor has good impact resistance and thermal stability when the stone plastic rigid layer includes 10-15 parts by weight of the glass beads. These experimental data may be used as the basis of relevant embodiments.
In some embodiments, the weight of the glass beads in the stone plastic rigid layer may be 10 parts. The stone plastic floor has good impact resistance and thermal stability when the stone plastic rigid layer includes 10 parts by weight of the glass beads.
In some embodiments, the weight of the glass beads in the stone plastic rigid layer may be 12.5 parts. The stone plastic floor has good impact resistance and thermal stability when the stone plastic rigid layer includes 12.5 parts by weight of the glass beads.
In some embodiments, the weight of the glass beads in the stone plastic rigid layer may be 14 parts. The stone plastic floor has good impact resistance and thermal stability when the stone plastic rigid layer includes 14 parts by weight of the glass beads.
In some embodiments, the weight of the glass beads in the stone plastic rigid layer may be 15 parts. The stone plastic floor has good impact resistance and thermal stability when the stone plastic rigid layer includes 15 parts by weight of the glass beads.
In some embodiments, the glass beads may be added to the PVC of the stone plastic rigid layer, which may improve the fluidity of material processing, and effectively improve the strength, creep resistance, and heat stability of the stone plastic rigid layer, so that the stone plastic floor is not easy to deform. However, when the weight of the glass beads is gradually increased, tensile strength and impact resistance of the stone plastic floor may be gradually reduced because the inorganic fillers and the glass beads are easy to agglomerate in a high filling system. In some embodiments, an effect of uniform dispersion of the glass beads and the inorganic fillers in PVC matrix may be effectively improved by adding a coupling agent.
The coupling agent may be a kind of substance with an amphoteric structure. Some groups in the coupling agent may react with chemical groups on a surface of the inorganic fillers to form chemical bonding, other groups in the coupling agent may have organophilic properties, which may react with organic molecules or produce strong intermolecular interaction, so as to firmly combine two materials with different properties to improve dispersion state of the inorganic filler in the PVC matrix and mechanical properties and service properties of filled polymer materials. In some embodiments, the coupling agent may include a silane coupling agent, a titanate coupling agent, a zirconate coupling agent, an aluminate coupling agent, a bimetallic coupling agent (e.g., an aluminum zirconate, an aluminum titanium composite coupling agent), a rare earth coupling agent, a phosphorus containing coupling agent, a boron containing coupling agent, etc.
In some embodiments, the coupling agent may include a silane coupling agent. For example, the coupling agent may include a y-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (KH550). The hydroxyl group generated by alkoxy hydrolysis of the silane coupling agent may react with the adsorbed water or silanol on the surface of the glass beads to form hydrogen bonds or chemical bonds. At the same time, organic functional groups of the silane coupling agent may react with the matrix resin to form good adhesion between the glass beads and the polymer materials, so as to improve the properties of composites. For PVC system, active amine in the aminosilane coupling agent may catalyze a process of removing HCl to produce allyl chloride atoms during PVC high-temperature processing and may react with amino groups to form covalent bonds, so that the interface has good adhesion.
In some embodiments, a weight percentage of the coupling agent in the stone plastic rigid layer may be within a range of 0 to 3.0%. In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the coupling agent in the stone plastic rigid layer may be within a range of 0.1% to 2.5%.

In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the coupling agent in the stone plastic rigid layer may be within a range of 0.3% to 1.3%. In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the coupling agent in the stone plastic rigid layer may be within a range of 0.5% to 1.3%. In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the coupling agent in the stone plastic rigid layer may be within a range of 0.5% to 1.0%. For example, the weight percentage of the coupling agent in the stone plastic rigid layer may be 0.5%. For another example, the weight percentage of the coupling agent in the stone plastic rigid layer may be 0.8%.

The experimental results include static bending strength, fracture elongation displacement, and whether there is crack outside the test scope of falling ball impact test piece. Whether there is crack outside the test scope of the falling ball impact test piece is used to test the impact resistance of the tested object. If there is no crack, it means that the impact resistance of the tested object is strong, otherwise the impact resistance of the tested object is weak.
The experimental results are as follows:
The experimental data show that when the weight percentage of the alkane coupling agent in the stone plastic rigid layer is 0.5%, 0.8%, 1.0%, and 1.3%, respectively, the stone plastic floor has a better impact resistance and thermal stability than the stone plastic floor with the weight percentage of the alkane coupling agent in the stone plastic rigid layer being 0.

In some embodiments, the multi-layer co-extrusion stone plastic floor may include a co-extrusion stone plastic layer 100, a UV coating layer 210, a wear-resistant layer 220, and a color film layer 230.
The UV coating layer 210 may be a polyurethane UV curable coating layer applied to the surface. In some embodiments, the UV coating layer may have effects of wear resistance, stain resistance, water, and moisture resistance.
The wear-resistant layer 220 may be a structural layer that reduces mechanical wear.
In some embodiments, the wear-resistant layer is a multi-layer. In some embodiments, the multiple layers of the wear-resistant layer include a radiation curing coating layer, a first PVC transparent layer (0.07-0.15 mm), and a second PVC transparent layer (0.30-0.80 mm) from top to bottom, and the radiation curing coating layer includes an adhesion primer layer, an elastic primer layer, and a functional top coat layer from bottom to top. In some embodiments, a thickness of the first PVC transparent layer is within a range of 0.07 mm-mm and a thickness of the second PVC transparent layer is within a range of 0.30 mm-mm. The adhesion primer layer is used to ensure good adhesion between the coating layers and between the coating layer and the decorative layer. The elastic primer layer is used to improve the toughness and strength of the paint film. An elongation rate of more than 30% may be still maintained after radiation curing, and the paint film may still maintain good strength at high temperature, so that the paint film does not break or wrinkle during the in-line bonding process. The functional top coat layer may be combined with the primer layer to achieve specific functions such as scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, antibacterial and stain resistance to improve the service life of the floor.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the wear-resistant layer may affect the thickness of the first stable layer and the second stable layer. Specifically, when the greater the thickness of the wear-resistant layer is, the greater the strength required to be provided by the rigid structure layer is, so the greater the thickness of the first stable layer and the second stable layer is. For example, when a total thickness of the multi-layer coextrusion stone plastic floor is consistent and the thickness of the wear-resistant layer is 0.3 mm, the thickness ratio of the first stable layer, the stone plastic rigid layer, and the second stable layer may be 1:2.2:1.
