What are the best methods to test WPC for resistance to pet urine or stains?

Testing WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) for resistance to pet urine and stains is essential to ensure its durability and longevity in homes with pets. Here are the best methods to evaluate its performance:

1. Simulated Pet Urine Test: Apply synthetic pet urine to the WPC surface and observe discoloration, swelling, or odor absorption over 24-48 hours.

2. Stain Resistance Test: Use common household stains (coffee, wine, etc.) to check for penetration and ease of cleaning.

3. Abrasion Test: Scrub the surface with a stiff brush to simulate wear and tear, assessing scratch resistance.

4. Water Absorption Test: Submerge WPC samples in water to measure swelling or warping, indicating waterproofing quality.

5. UV Exposure Test: Place WPC under UV light to evaluate colorfastness and material degradation over time.

These tests help determine if WPC flooring is suitable for pet-friendly environments, ensuring it remains stain-free and durable.
