The backing shall be fibrous orfoamed rubber and thoroughly bonded to the wear layer so asnot to delaminate under normal use.6.2 Layered Rubber Sheet Floor CoveringThe productshall consist of a

19、 wear layer, intermediate layer(s), and abacking. The surface coloring or mottling shall be uniformthroughout the entire thickness of the wear layer, but need notextend through the intermediate layer(s). The backing shall befibrous or foamed rubber. The wear layer, intermediate layer(s)and backing s

20、hall be thoroughly bonded so as not to delaminateunder normal use.6.3 Wear Layer:6.3.1 The polymeric binder of the wear layer shall satisfythe definition of rubber in Terminology D 1566, and have beenvulcanized, as defined in Terminology D 1566 (under vulcani-zation), such that it becomes thermoset

(1.0 mm) when measured in accordance with TestMethod F 410.6.3.3 The appearance of the rubber sheet floor covering afterrem

22、oving 0.020 in. (0.51 mm) of the wear layer thickness, shallcompare favorably in appearance with the sheet flooringsoriginal appearance. The removal of the wear layer may beaccomplished by any suitable method.6.3.4 The wear layer may have a smooth, embossed, ormolded pattern surface.6.4 Intermediate

23、 LayersThe layer(s) may consist of, butnot be limited to, rubber, foamed rubber, or other materials,which are intended to improve the performance characteristicsof the product.6.5 BackingsThe composition of the backings shall befibrous or foamed rubber and may contain other ingredientsprovided the r

24、esultant backing is suitable for installation onfloors above-, on-, or below-grade when installed according tomanufacturers installation recommendations.6.6 Color, Pattern, and Wearing SurfaceThe color, pat-tern, and wear layer surface, as applicable, shall be as specifiedin the contract or order (s

25、ee 5.1).NOTE 1The colors and patterns that are available are indicated inindividual manufacturers current catalogs. As manufactured, 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 accepta

26、bility.7. Performance Requirements7.1 HardnessThe rubber sheet floor covering shall have adurometer hardness of not less than 85 (Shore, Type A) whentested in accordance with Test Method D 2240. The backingmaterial shall be removed prior to testing and may be accom-plished by any suitable method.7.2

27、 Modulus at 10 % ElongationWhen tested in accor-dance with Test Method D 412 at a rate of 6 in. (152.4mm)/min, using a 1 in. (25.4 mm) by 5 in. (127 mm) gagelength rectangular specimen, the modulus shall not be less than300 psi (2.07 MPa). For molded pattern rubber sheet floorcovering, the raised pa

28、ttern shall be removed by any suitablemethod. Prior to testing, the backing material shall be removedand may be accomplished by any suitable method.7.3 Static Load LimitWhen tested in accordance with TestMethod F 970, with an applied load of 250 lb (113.4 kg), theresidual indentation shall not be gr

29、eater than 0.005 in. (0.127mm).7.4 Resistance to ChemicalsWhen tested in accordancewith Test Method F 925, the rubber sheet floor covering shallhave no more than a slight change in surface dulling, surfaceattack, or staining when exposed to the flowing chemicals:7.4.1 White vinegar (5 % acetic acid)

30、,7.4.2 Rubbing alcohol (70 % isopropyl alcohol),7.4.3 Sodium hydroxide solution (5 % NaOH),7.4.4 Hydrochloric acid solution (5 % HCl),7.4.5 Sulfuric acid solution (5 % H2SO4),7.4.6 Household ammonia solution (5 % NH4OH),7.4.7 Household bleach solution (5.25 % NaOCl),NOTE 3These basic chemicals are r

31、epresentative of those likely to befound in domestic, commercial, and institutional use. Many proprietarycompounds contain one or more of these basic chemicals. Should theflooring for an unusual application need to be resistant to a specificchemical, this additional requirement should become part of

32、 the procure-ment document, (see 5.1.8).NOTE 4Since standard SBR rubber flooring is not recoommended forinstallation where the product will be exposed to animal fats, vegetableoils, and petroleum-based reagents, mineral oil, olive oil, kerosene, andgasoline have been removed from the standard chemic

33、al list to eliminateany confusion regarding product selection.7.5 Resistance to HeatWhen tested in accordance to TestMethod F 1514, the color change of the rubber sheet floorcovering shall have an average DE not greater than 8.0 afterseven days exposure to 158F (70C).F 1860 04 (2009)127.6 Resistance

34、 to LightWhen tested in accordance to TestMethod F 1515, the color change of the rubber sheet floorcovering shall have an average DE not greater than 8.0 after300 h of exposure to light, simulated by a properly fittedxenon-arc radiant energy source.8. Dimensions, Mass, and Permissible Variations8.1

35、Overall ThicknessMolded pattern rubber sheet floorcovering shall be measured for overall thickness at the thickestcross sectional area of the flooring. The thickness of themolded pattern shall be uniform throughout the flooring.8.2 Base Thickness Molded pattern rubber sheet floorcovering base thickn

36、ess shall be measured at the thinnest crosssectional area of the flooring.
