If you are writing the floor clause for a Malaysian hospital, clean room, lab or pharmacy, this is usually the product. Single-layer compact vinyl. Colour and pattern run through the full thickness, so the floor is sandable, refurbishable, and PUR-finished on premium ranges for permanent stain resistance. Reference products: Tarkett iQ Optima, Gerflor Mipolam Symbioz, Polyflor Mystique iQ.
Homogeneous vinyl is a single-layer compact vinyl floor covering where colour and pattern run through the full thickness. There is no separate wear layer because the entire material IS the wear layer. Typically 2.0–3.0 mm total thickness.
Manufactured by calendering vinyl compound between heated rollers to form sheets, then bonded and pressure-cured into homogeneous slabs. Premium ranges receive a factory polyurethane (PUR) surface treatment that eliminates the need for site polishing and reduces lifecycle maintenance cost by approximately 40%.
