Technical Information

Life Cycle and Cost: ITtile is a loose laid system so in the event of damage or excessive wear individual tiles can be lifted and replaced significantly extending the life of the floor and reducing life term cost.

Sustainability: ITtileis 100% recyclable, at the end of its service life the tiles can be grinded up and re-used to manufacture a new floor. Most floor coverings only have a limited life span due to wear or the building occupier’s wishes to refurbish or alter the building’s appearance. Most waste floor coverings will end up in land fill due to the fact that once it has been adhered to the floor it cannot be re-used. Not only can ITtile be recycled but there is a market for pre-owned tiles

Anticipated Life: 25 years for residential use, 10 year for commercial use

VOC Content : Trace elements of volatile’s from modifiers and non PVC based additives. Significantly lower VOC levels when compared to resin based flooring systems or the levels encountered when using adhesives to stick down conventional floor coverings.

Sound Absorption: Noise reduction of up to 45 decibel can be achieved

Hardness: Standard ISO 868 – ITtile 5mm and 7mm – 89-92 Shore A / ITtile comfort 76 Shore A

Resistance to natural light: EN 20105-B021 – 5 (no damage)

Anti-Slip Qualities:

Mean Slip Resistance Value / Potential for slip ref.			Mean Surface Roughness
Surface	Wet	Dry
Coin / Studded	47 / Low	69 / Extremely low	31.7
Smooth / Leather	36 / Low	69 / Extremely low	37.9

Fire Performance: ITtile does not support combustion and achieves Class 1 spread of flame when tested to BS 476: Part 7 / European Classification: BFL

Abrasion Wear: Excellent

Mechanical Resistance - 17 N/mm2 to DIN 53516

Dimensional Stability: Maximum change in dimension <0.15%

Compressive Strength: ISO868

Chemical Resistance – Good resistance to most commonly used chemicals. ITtile offers good short to medium term resistance but as with most materials long term exposure could result in damage to the elastomer, color, and stability of the tile. In the event of accident we recommend the tiles are cleaned as soon as possible and if necessary lifted to remove any chemical that may have seeped underneath. Common acids oils & gas oil – No deterioration, Solvents – Not resistant to prolonged contact

Color Fastness – >6 (EN 20105 BO2: Method 3)

Cleaning: Day-to-day cleaning – damp mop or

Electrical Properties: Standard:  surface resistivity: 1011 and 1014 Ω /
ESD: surface resistivity: 3 x 106Ω and 2.2 x 104Ω / Resistance to ground : 5.7 x 105Ω and 2.9 x 104Ω /
Anti-static: surface resistivity: 3 x 109Ω and 2.2 x 1011Ω

Tests were carried out in accordance with the requirements of Annex A.1 of BS IEC 61340-5-1:2001.
ESD fulfils the recommendations detailed in BS EN 61340 5-1:2001 for floors to be used for primary grounding.

Resistance to Hot Objects/Solder – Good

Dimensions – HomeDécor Tile: 20 inch x 20 inch / Flexi-Tile: 20.5 inch x 20.5 inch

Usage Classification – Code of Practice BS 8203:2001 / EN 685 – Class 43
