18、er of the rubber floor tileshall (1) satisfy the definition of rubber in Terminology D1566,and (2) have been vulcanized, as defined in TerminologyD1566 (under vulcanization), such that it becomes thermosetas defined in Terminology D883. The rubber floor tile madefrom this compound shall be resistant

19、 to neutral pH cleaners.6.2 Color, Pattern, and Wear Layer SurfaceThe color,pattern, and wear layer surface, as applicable, shall be asspecified in the contract or order (see 5.1).NOTE 1The colors and patterns that are available are indicated inindividual manufacturers current catalogs. As manufactu

20、red, colors mayvary somewhat in hue or shade from the catalog.NOTE 2Where color match is a concern, samples from the manufac-turer shall be obtained to verify color acceptability.6.3 Homogeneous Rubber Floor TileThe surface coloringor mottling shall be uniform throughout the entire thickness ofthe r

21、ubber floor tile.6.4 Heterogeneous (Layered) Rubber Floor TileThe sur-face color or mottling need not extend through the entirethickness of the rubber floor tile, but must extend throughoutthe entire thickness of the wear layer.6.4.1 The wear layer must have a minimum thickness of0.040 in. (1.0 mm)

22、when measured in accordance with TestMethod F410.6.4.2 The appearance of the rubber floor tile, after removing0.020 in. (0.51 mm) of the wear layer thickness, shall comparefavorably in appearance with the rubber floor tile originalappearance. The removal of the wear layer may be accom-plished by any

23、 suitable method.7. Performance Requirements7.1 HardnessThe rubber floor tile shall have a durometerhardness as follows:Grade 1 85Grade 2 70 but less than 85 (Shore, Type A, instantaneousreading) when tested in accordance with Test Method D2240.7.2 Static Load LimitWhen tested in accordance with Tes

24、tMethod F970, with an applied load of 250 lb (113.4 kg), theresidual indentation shall not be greater than 0.005 in. (0.127mm).7.3 Resistance to Short-Term Chemical ExposureWhentested in accordance with Test Method F925, the rubber floortile shall have no more than a slight change in surface dulling

25、,surface attack, or staining when exposed to the followingchemicals:White vinegar (5% acetic acid)Rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol)Sodium hydroxide solution (5% NaOH)Hydrochloric acid solution (5% HCl)Sulfuric acid solution (5% H2SO4)Household ammonia solution (5% NH4OH)Household bleach (5.25%

26、 NaOCl)Disinfectant cleaner (5% active phenol)NOTE 3These basic chemicals are representative of those likely to befound in domestic, commercial, and institutional use. Many proprietarycompounds contain one or more of these basic chemicals. Should therubber floor tile for an unusual application need

27、to be resistant to a specificchemical, this additional requirement should become part of the procure-ment document (see 5.1.8).NOTE 4Since standard SBR rubber floor tiles are not recommendedfor installation where the product will be exposed to animal fats, vegetableoils, and petroleum-based reagents

28、, mineral oil, olive oil, kerosene, andgasoline have been removed from the standard chemical list to eliminateany confusion regarding product selection.7.4 Resistance to HeatWhen tested in accordance withTest Method F1514, the color change of the rubber floor tileshall have an average E not greater

29、than 8.0 after 7 daysexposure to 158F (70C). The specimen surface shall bewiped with a clean, white cotton cloth prior to taking the initialand post test conditioned period color readings to remove anywax bloom or other contaminants which may affect theaccuracy of the color readings.7.5 Abrasion Res

30、istanceWhen tested in accordance withTest Method D3389 and with the abrader equipped with H-18wheels and a load of 500 g, the maximum material loss shallnot exceed 1 gram after 1000 cycles.7.6 Dimensional StabilityWhen tested in accordance withTest Method F2199, the dimensional change of the rubber

31、floortile in both the machine direction (MD) and the across machinedirection (AMD) shall not exceed 0.15 %.7.7 Resistance to LightTask group F06.80.13 will con-tinue to search for a test method or develop a test method toaddress this requirement. Existing Q-UV and Xenon-Arc testmethods used to test
