05 / Alternative polymer platforms For the trade
PP flooring.
Polypropylene-based flooring for a considered alternative-material programme. Define the complete construction and its evidence before positioning the range around environmental benefits.
Product knowledge01 / Understand
An alternative polymer. A precise brief.
PP is polypropylene, a polymer platform distinct from PVC and PET. A PP-based flooring label does not reveal every layer or establish a single standard construction.
Our PP programmes consider the core, wear surface, decor, connection and backing as one product. We match the construction to the intended application, required performance and the commercial role of the range.
A PVC-free proposition needs confirmation across the full assembly. Recyclability and carbon comparisons require separate evidence and a defined system boundary; they should not be inferred from the polymer name.
Validate the range
Use full boards, assembled connections and relevant test evidence. Do not assume that a new polymer behaves like an established SPC formulation.
The buying decision02 / Specify
Specify the whole product.
A useful quotation starts with the construction and the intended market. These are the decisions we work through with your product team.
Prepare your specification ↗| Decision | What to define |
|---|---|
| Material platform | Actual PP-based construction and any fillers or additional polymers. |
| Surface and backing | Complete build-up, attachment and finish specification. |
| Performance | Wear, indentation, stability and connection evidence for the chosen range. |
| Claims | Document PVC-free or other composition statements across the assembly. |
| Programme | Confirm formats, sample approval and market documentation before launch. |
Questions from product teams
A clearer
specification.
Is polypropylene the same as recycled PET?
No. PP and PET are different polymers with different processing and material characteristics. Their flooring constructions need separate evaluation.
Is PP flooring automatically recyclable?
No. The full construction and an available collection and processing route determine a practical end-of-life claim.
