17、er and the purchaser).5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 MaterialsThe tile shall be composed of binder, fillers,and pigments.5.1.1 The binder shall consist of one or more resins ofpolyester.5.1.1.1 The polyester resin may be thermoplastic or thermo-set.5.1.2 The filler may be limestone or other suitabl
18、e inorganicfiller.5.1.3 Floor tiles may have a clear specialty performance toplayer which does not delaminate under normal use and is notremovable by normal maintenance procedures.5.1.3.1 The clear specialty performance top layer mayconstitute part of the total thickness up to a maximum 0.002 in.(0.
19、051 mm).5.2 Color and PatternThe color and pattern, as applicableshall be as specified in the contract or order (see 4.1).NOTE 1The colors and patterns that are available are indicated inindividual manufacturers current catalogs. As manufactured, colors varysomewhat in hue and shade.5.3 Through Patt
20、ern TileIn through pattern tile, either thepattern and colors on the surface of the tile extend entirelythrough the thickness of the tile without significant change, orthe colors appearing on the surface shall extend throughout theentire thickness of the tile, although the appearance of thepattern c
21、reated by these colors will change throughout thethickness.6. Mechanical Properties6.1 Indentation:6.1.1 When the tile is tested in accordance with Test MethodF1914 per the test parameters listed in Table 1 for the F1066specification but at a conditioning and testing temperature of73.4F (23.0C), the
22、 indentation at the end of 1 min shall notexceed 0.012 in. (0.305 mm).6.1.2 When the tile is tested in accordance with Test MethodF1914 per the test parameters listed in Table 1 for the F1066specification but at a conditioning and testing temperature of73.4F (23.0C), the indentation at the end of 10
23、 min shall notexceed 0.015 in. (0.356 mm).6.2 Impact:6.2.1 When the tile is tested in accordance with Test MethodF1265, the tile shall not break or crack beyond the prescribedcircle of zinc oxide paste after 12 drops.6.2.2 For18-in.
