16、.1.14 Marking required, if other than specified (see 13.1),and5.1.15 Other requirements.6. Materials and Manufacture6.1 MaterialThe polymeric binder of the rubber sheetfloor covering shall satisfy the definition of rubber in Termi-nology D 1566, and have been vulcanized, as defined inTerminology D 1

17、566 (under vulcanization), such that it be-comes thermoset as defined in Terminology D 883. The rubbersheet flooring made from this compound shall be resistant toneutral pH cleaners.6.2 Color, Pattern, and Wear Layer SurfaceThe color,pattern, and wear layer surface, as applicable, shall be asspecifi

18、ed in the contract or order (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 ob

19、tained to verify color acceptability.6.3 Homogeneous Rubber Sheet Floor CoveringThe sur-face coloring or mottling shall be uniform throughout the entirethickness of the rubber sheet floor covering.6.4 Layered Rubber Sheet Floor CoveringThe surfacecoloring or mottling need not extend through the enti

20、rethickness of the rubber sheet floor covering, but must extendthroughout the entire thickness of the wear layer.6.4.1 The wear layer must have a minimum thickness of0.040 in. (1.0 mm) when measured in accordance with TestMethod F 410.6.4.2 The appearance of the rubber sheet floor covering,after rem

21、oving 0.020 in. (0.51 mm) of the wear layer thickness,shall compare favorably in appearance with the rubber sheetfloorings original appearance. The removal of the wear layermay be accomplished by any suitable method.7. Performance Requirements7.1 HardnessThe rubber sheet floor covering shall have ad

22、urometer hardness of not less than 85 (Shore, Type A) whentested in accordance with Test Method D 2240.7.2 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 modu

23、lus shall not be less than300 psi (2.07 MPa). For molded pattern rubber sheet floorcovering, the raised pattern shall be removed by any suitablemethod.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

24、 greater 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 following chemicals:7.4.1 White vinegar (5 % acetic

25、acid),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 (5.25 % NaOCl),NOTE 3These basic chemicals are repre

26、sentative 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 the

27、 procure-ment document (see 5.1.8).NOTE 4Since standard SBR rubber flooring is not recommended 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 chemical lis

28、t 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).7.6 Resistance to LightWhen tested in

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

30、ed 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 thickness shall be measured

31、 at the thinnestcross-sectional area of the flooring. The thinnest cross-sectional area shall be uniform throughout the flooring.8.3 ThicknessThe thickness of the rubber sheet floorcovering shall be as specified in the contract or order (see5.1.4). An average tolerance, obtained from five individual

32、measurements, of 60.006 in. (60.15 mm) from the specifiedthickness shall be permitted in the base thickness alone or incombination with the overall thickness, when measured inaccordance with Test Method F 386. The difference betweenthe five individual measurements can not be greater than 0.008in. (0

33、.2 mm). In the case of molded pattern rubber sheet floorcovering, overall thickness and base thickness shall be re-ported.8.4 WidthThe width shall be as specified in the contract ororder (see 5.1.6). The net width (gross width less selvages)shall not be less than as marked on the label or package wh

34、enmeasured in accordance with 8.6.8.5 LengthThe length of the roll shall be as specified inthe contract or order (see 5.1.7). The sheet length shall not beless than as marked on the label or package when measured inF1859042accordance with 8.6. Each roll shall be in one piece, except thatless than 20

35、 % of the rolls in any one shipment may consist ofnot more than two pieces, the shortest length shall not be lessthan 5 linear yards (4.57 m), or as agreed upon by the purchaserand seller. Such rolls shall be clearly marked.8.6 Length and Width MeasurementsMeasurements shallbe made with a calibrated

36、 100 ft (30 m) steel tape graduated atintervals of116 in. or 1 mm. The roll shall be extended to itsfull length on a flat surface and all creases and bucklesremoved, insofar as practical, without applying stresses thatcause any significant stretching. Measurements of length shallbe rounded to the ne

37、arest inch or 10 mm. Net width shall bemeasured to the nearest116 in. or 1 mm at not less than tenlocations uniformly distributed along the length of each roll,and the results averaged.9. Workmanship, Finish and Appearance9.1 The rubber sheet floor covering furnished in accordancewith this specifica

38、tion shall be an acceptable match to approvedsamples in color, pattern, and appearance. The product shall befree of defects, which adversely affect performance or appear-ance. Such defects include: blemishes, spots, lines, indenta-tions, blisters, and delamination.9.2 Unless otherwise specified in t

39、he contract or order (see5.1), the back or bonding surface of the rubber sheet floorcovering shall be buffed, roughened, ribbed, grooved, orotherwise modified to improve the adhesive bond of the rubbersheet floor covering, but in no case shall the thickness of theflooring be decreased to the extent

40、that any depression orgroove on the bonding surface be perceptible, under anycircumstances, on the exposed surface.10.
