MSPC vs SPC: what to compare
The main difference is the surface system
MSPC uses a melamine surface system. Conventional SPC uses a vinyl wear layer. Both descriptions refer to product families, so comparisons should use specific models and their documents.
| Selection point | MSPC | SPC |
|---|---|---|
| Surface | Melamine system | Vinyl wear layer |
| Core | SPC rigid core; confirm exact construction | SPC rigid core |
| Evaluation | Request samples, installation instructions and model-specific test reports. | |
Scratch resistance and wear resistance
These are different properties. A demonstration of surface scratching is not a substitute for an abrasion classification. Compare reports using the same test method, conditions and product configuration.
Which should you choose?
Choose against your market requirements, project conditions, décor preference and quotation. Review surface performance, dimensions, backing, packaging and warranty terms together. Avoid choosing from a product name alone.
What to ask before ordering
Ask which specification the quotation covers, what documentation is available for that model, and whether the sample matches the proposed production configuration.
