Can you explain what all the "Non PVC" Components are. On Amorim Wise website for Wood look materials, from the bottom to top there are 5 Layers: 1:"Integrated Cork Underlay" 2. "Non PVC Cork Rigid Core" 3. "Cork Inlay" 4. Non PVC Wood Printed Film". "SRT Non PVC Protective Wear Layer"What is the difference Between HRT and SRT wear layers? What is this layer, Aluminum Oxide, Acrylic Polyurethane, or a wax such as Carnauba Wax, or other?What is the non PVC textured wood printed film actually made of?How are the subsequent three layers (cork inlay, rigid cork core, and cork underlay manufactured? Do any of them contain any resins or binders. If so what are they?Thanks,Nicholas M Schedeler

Thanks for your excellent questions.1. The cork underlay is made of 100% cork2. The Rigid core is made of 100% cork that is impregnated with high density polyethylene (HDPE) which is a food grade plastic used in milk cartons 3. Cork inlay is simply a veneer of cork layer added beneath the surface.4. The non-pvc wood printed film is a HDPE film with 3D printing s5. The superior resistance technology (SRT) wear layer on top is made of PET which is also a type of non-toxic polyethylene that does not off-gas.The cork look has a UV cured acrylic Polyurethane finish. The wood look has the PET coating.The non-pvc wood printed film is answered in #4.All of these layers are compressed under heat and pressure. The natural suberin resins contained in the cork cells are what help bind these layers together.High resistance technology (HRT) is used on the cork look and Superior resistance technology is used on the wood look. The HRT can be refinished with a polyurethane finish if desired. The SRT cannot be refinished.
