Technical Specifications
COMPOSITION: Locktiles are manufactured from tough injection moulded PVC compound.
DIMENSIONS: Size - 1 tile with interlocking measures 50 cm x 50 cm When interlocked 4 tiles measures 98 cm x 98 cm. Thick - 6.5 mm average - Weight - 2.1 kg.
WEAR: Locktiles have been tested by the Tetrapod method and after 3,000,000 cycles there was no visible change in the surface texture.
FIRE & CIGARETTES: Locktile passed the BS4790 1972 Hot Metal Nut test, but like all PVC materials cigarette ends when put out on the floor will leave a brown mark.
SPREAD OF FLAME BS EN ISO 9239-1:2002
Average maximum flame front distance: 21.7cm
Average critical radiant flux: 9.1kW/m2
Average smoke development: 434.7% min
Average maximum light attenuation: 52.3%
ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE: Locktile passed the BS3187/1959 test.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: Locktile has good resistance to most chemicals and tested specifically were:- 95% Ethanol, Tallow, Mineral Oil, Vegetable Oil, Hydrofluoric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide. There was no significant colour change on any test piece. If you have a chemical that you are worried about please contact us.
INDENTATION: Locktile passed the Residual Indentation BS3261 Appendix E Test.
STATIC PROPENSITY: Locktile recorded no measurable body voltage when being tested under DD68/1980.1
NOISE REDUCTION: The weight of each tile with a density of 1465 kg/m3 ensures a high level of noise reduction.
MAINTENANCE: Locktiles resist oil and chemical attack and are rot proof. Nonetheless, it is wise to remove spillages as soon as possible. General maintenance such as sweeping, damp mopping or the use of a cylindrical scrubber combined vacuum machine for a dry washing. An emulsion dressing may be used. |
