Similarly, where old tiles are employed, care shouldbe taken to employ tiles or panels with approximately equiva-lent traffic history.5.5 Mask a small portion of a bla
17、ck tile prior to polishing soas to provide an unpolished control area. The masking is toremain during the entire traffic period.5.6 Take glossmeter readings on the clean and dry centerfour panels (two light tiles and two dark tiles) with a 60glossmeter prior to application of the polish.5.7 Apply th
18、e test polish and the reference (standard) polishequally to the same test panel in such a manner that each polishcovers half of the black tiles and half of the white tiles. Atypical panel is illustrated in Fig. 1. An alternative approach isto apply each polish to a separate panel.5.8 Apply each of t
19、he test polishes to the test panels at a rateof 1500 to 2000 ft2/gal (37 to 49 m2/L), using any suitable andcontrolled procedure. This spreading rate is equivalent to:0.06 to 0.08 fluid oz/ft21.9 to 2.5 mL/ft25.9 Apply a second coat of a like amount 2 h after the firstcoat.5.10 In the instance of wa
20、x emulsion polishes, machine buffthe test panels coated with the text wax and the referencematerial with a new 00 steel wool pad or clean bristle brushattachment 30 min after the second coat is apparently dry.Consider the small area and do not over buff. Do not buff anyother polish types considered
21、in this method at this time.5.11 Allow each test panel to dry 1 h before being exposedto traffic. (Environmental conditions outside the norm or 70 to90F (21.1 to 32.2C) and above 70 % relative humidity maynecessitate longer periods of drying time.) Again take glossreadings on the four center tiles p
22、rior to exposure to traffic.Comparatively rate the films visually for leveling, for anydiscoloration tendencies, and for slip resistance followingCSMA Bulletin 245-70. In the instance of the wax emulsionpolishes, make the leveling and gloss ratings after buffing.5.12 Daily maintenance should include
23、 dry brushing orsweeping.6. Maintenance and Evaluation Schedule for WaxEmulsion Polishes6.1 Damp mop the test panels weekly, or when necessary,with a commercial neutral cleaner used in accordance withlabel instructions as to dilution, water temperature, etc. Rinsethe panel with clear water and allow
24、 to dry thoroughly.6.2 Machine buff the test panels weekly, following the dampmopping and a suitable drying period, by the techniquedescribed in 5.10.6.3 Evaluate the test panels for traffic marking (heelmarking, soiling, scuffing, and scratching), visually and with a60 glossmeter (four center tiles
25、) for gloss and for slipresistance following CSMA Bulletin 245-70.6.3.1 After 1 days exposure to normal traffic.6.3.2 Before and after the first damp mop cleaning andbuffing operation. (This operation should be performed no laterthan the end of the first traffic week.)6.3.3 Before and after the thir

28、, wet contact time prior to scrubbing, etc.Rinse the panel with clear water and allow to dry thoroughly.Remove tape masking prior to making visual comparison ofremoval properties. A 60 glossmeter reading on the strippedtiles may prove helpful. Hand buffing a small area with a softcloth is suggested
29、as a supplemental aid in determining ifstripping is complete. If no appreciable increase in gloss isachieved, it can be concluded that the film has been removed.7. Maintenance and Evaluation Schedule for NonbuffableEmulsion Polishes7.1 Damp mop the test panels twice a week with a commer-cial neutral

An optional method based upon percent reductionin gloss arrived at by calculation with the 60 gloss values maybe us
39、ed.NOTE 2Percent loss of gloss can be calculated from gloss measure-ments before and after cleaning. The difference between the loss of glossof the sample versus that of the control may be related to detergentresistance. Thus, if the test sample exhibits 5 to 10 % more loss of glossthan the control,
40、 it would receive a rating of 1. If the greater lossexceeded 10 %, it would receive a 2 rating, and if the greater loss wereless than 5 %, the rating would be 0. Conversely, if the control sampleexhibited 5 to 10 % more loss of gloss than the test sample, the test samplewould receive a rating of +1,

Remove the masking from the two control areas forpurposes of comparison, when making this final observation.Sixty-degree glossmeter readings on the stripped tiles mayprove helpful.
