Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a composite crystal flooring. The composite crystal flooring may have a multi-layer structure. The composite crystal flooring may include a substrate layer. The substrate layer may include at least a first structural layer, a second structural layer, and a third structural layer. The second structural layer may be located between the first structural layer and the third structural layer. A foaming density of the second structural layer may be less than 1.1 grams per cubic millimeter. Components of the second structural layer may include polyvinyl chloride, one or more inorganic fillers, at least one foaming agent, at least one foaming regulator, at least one lubricating agent, and at least one stabilizer. The one or more inorganic fillers may include modified fly ash, hollow glass microbeads, and composite calcium. The composite crystal flooring with a low density may have good thermal stability and rigidity.
