Application and Development of Antibacterial Wood-Based Panels in Composite Flooring

Abstract

The floor is indispensable for people's normal daily lives, and the floor is also the object with the highest contact rate in life. With the rapid development of the panel customized home industry, in addition to environmental protection, people have increasingly high requirements for the safety of the materials used. It is necessary to meet the needs of people for floors with the concepts of cleaning, sterilization and health, and to apply antibacterial technology reasonably and efficiently to the floors required for daily life. In modern life, the floor is an important basic component. The existing materials, whether in color or texture, show a variety of aspects, which can achieve a close combination of functionality and artistry, and promote the increase of floor consumption. With the development of society and economy, people's requirements for indoor health are transferring from the safety and environmental protection of raw materials to the height of antibacterial. The trend of applying antibacterial technology on the floor has been formed after the antibacterial technology has been realized in the fields of floor, household appliances, and daily necessities. The floor with antibacterial function not only contains all the characteristics of the traditional floor, but also has the health function of inhibiting and killing the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria. Antibacterial flooring will have huge potential demand and broad development prospects in the future. The prosperity of the flooring market has also promoted a significant increase in wood consumption. This study discusses the development trend of wood-based panels in antibacterial properties and their applications in flooring. Some suggestions are also provided.
