When it comes to scratch resistance performance, laminate flooring have always had a significantly better performance when compared to resilient vinyl flooring such as LVT and SPC floorings. Global leading brands in vinyl floorings are making significant investments and product developments to try to improve the scratch resistance performance in vinyl floorings. However, modification for the wear layer, which as a transparent PVC based protective film, can not be easily achieved as any additive into the composition that tried to increase the scratch resistance will result in lose of transparency. As a result, nearly all of the improvements made for increasing scratch resistance were focus in the UV
