19、r (see 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 acc

20、eptability.6.3 Homogeneous Rubber Floor TileThe surface coloringor mottling shall be uniform throughout the entire thickness ofthe rubber floor tile.6.4 Layered Rubber Floor TileThe surface color or mot-tling need not extend through the entire thickness of the rubberfloor tile, but must extend throu

21、ghout the entire thickness of thewear layer.6.4.1 The wear layer must have a minimum thickness of0.040 in. (1.0 mm) 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

22、 appearance with the rubber floor tile originalappearance. The removal of the wear layer may be accom-plished by any suitable method.7.

25、SO4)Household ammonia solution (5% NH4OH)Household bleach (5.25% 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 chemica

26、ls. Should therubber floor tile for an unusual application need 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 exp

27、osed to animal fats, vegetableoils, and petroleum-based reagents, 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 cha

28、nge of the rubber floor tileshall have an average DE not greater 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 wh

29、ich may affect theaccuracy of the color readings.7.5 Abrasion ResistanceWhen 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 accord

30、ance withTest Method F2199, the dimensional change of the rubber 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 r
