Core understanding - TPR and PVC, not just material names

For carpet sellers, when recommending a carpet to customers, the color and texture of the fabric are the "front stars", while the backing is the "cornerstone" that supports all performances. Choosing TPR or PVC is not simply a cost consideration, it directly determines the ultimate performance, applicable scenarios, and customer satisfaction of the carpet.

Comparison dimension TPR (thermoplastic rubber) backing PVC (polyvinyl chloride) backing
core material Polymer mixtures such as rubber and resin Polyvinyl chloride resin, plasticizer, stabilizer
Environmental Protection and Safety Significant advantages: usually without plasticizers, meeting international environmental standards (such as EU SVHC). Caution should be exercised when choosing: Traditional formulas may contain phthalates and have an odor. We can use special materials such as benzene free environmentally friendly PVC according to your requirements.
Physical properties High flexibility: Still soft at low temperatures, resistant to bending fatigue. Excellent anti slip performance: Strong grip. High stability: Dimensional stability, tensile resistance. Good load-bearing and compression resistance, but may harden at low temperatures.
Applicable scenarios High end homes, children's rooms, places with high environmental requirements (such as kindergartens and medical institutions), and areas that require excellent anti slip properties. High intensity commercial spaces (offices, hotel corridors), public areas, budget sensitive projects, places that require strong load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability.
Cost positioning Higher, reflected in added value and long-term investment in environmental protection and health. Economically efficient and cost-effective, it is a mature mainstream choice in the commercial market.
market trend The rapid growth of demand represents the trend of consumption upgrading and green procurement. Continuously mainstream, environmentally friendly PVC is undergoing innovation to solidify its market position.


in-depth analysis

1.Environmental Protection and Health

  • TPR: Its environmental advantages are innate. Due to the lack of reliance on phthalate plasticizers for flexibility, TPR backing avoids such potential risk substances from the source and has minimal odor during production and use. This makes it a "flagship selling point" for high-end home decoration, mother and baby families, and education and medical fields.

  • PVC: Traditional PVC does face environmental concerns. But please be aware that the market is already evolving. High quality Non Phthalate PVC has become a standard product. While ensuring economic efficiency, it is also safer and more reliable.

2.Performance and Application

  • The "softness" and "toughness" of TPR: TPR remains soft and does not crack in severe cold environments, and is laid flat and snug. Its extraordinary anti slip performance is particularly suitable for laying on smooth surfaces such as tiles and marble, ensuring safety.

  • The "stability" and "bearing" of PVC: Due to its dense structure, PVC backing performs excellently in resisting furniture deformation under heavy pressure and withstanding repeated rolling of wheeled office chairs. Its excellent dimensional stability ensures that it is not easily stretched or deformed after large-scale paving. It can withstand thousands of daily stampedes and heavy crushing

3. Cost and Value

Think from the perspective of "total cost of ownership (TCO)" and "value matching". The higher unit price of TPR brings environmental peace of mind, excellent foot feel, and long-lasting softness, which is a value enhancement. PVC provides extremely reliable and durable commercial grade performance with a more economical investment, which is the most efficient.
