EPD: Modular flocked floor covering, nylon 6.6 pile with glass fiber reinforced PVC backing, 5.9 mm, 2.6 kg/m2 (Forbo Flooring)

This declaration covers a wide range of designs and colorways for Flotex products that are manufactured and printed using both rotary and digital print methods. Flotex is suitable for any commercial specification. Flotex is a unique, textile, flocked floor covering, combining the cleaning properties and durability of a resilient flooring with the comfort, slip resistance and acoustic properties usually associated with textiles. It is made by electrostatically flocking 80 million nylon fibres into a watertight backing, resulting in a floor covering that is strong, hygienic, and completely waterproof. Flotex can be rotary or digitally printed, the latter allowing for high-definition quality. It has been proven to contribute towards better indoor air quality and is the only textile floorcovering that carries the Allergy UK seal of approval. Flotex complies with all requirements of EN1307: Textile Floor Coverings – Classification of Pile Carpets. This declaration refers to Flotex AcousticPlus Tile/Plank covering a broad range of designs and colors : Flotex Colour, Flotex Linear, Flotex Planks Digital and Flotex Planks Conventional Flotex AcousticPlus Tile/Plank is comprised of a Nylon 6.6 pile above a glass fiber reinforced backing with a recycled polyester acoustic backing. This special backing increases the impact sound reduction to a total of 22 dB and offers a sound absorption of 0.25 which is comparable to most commonly used carpet sheet and tiles. Next to sound absorption, Flotex AcousticPlus Tile/Plank offers a very good shock absorption. This is relevant for areas where people are standing for a long time and where underfoot comfort is important
