Technical performance requirements of rubber floor tiles
Apparent density | kg/m | 600~900 |
Elongation at break | % | ≥40 |
Compression deformation | % | ≤15 |
Resilience | % | ≥38 |
Flame retardancy | % | Grade Ⅰ |
Water seepage rate | % | ≥40 |
Hot air aging 70 ℃,96h,tensile strength change rate (reduction) | % | ≤20 |
Change rate of elongation at break (decrease) | % | ≤20 |
Resistant to artificial climate | When used outdoors, it can meet the requirements of 240h without obvious change in appearance |

3. Understand the product. Choose the specific product you need, including thickness, size, color, etc.
4. Look at the samples. See if the actual sample is suitable for your requirements.
5. Check the floor tiles. You can do a small experiment, for example, you can put a cigarette butt for more than 1-2 minutes, and observe that there is no trace of burns on the surface of the rubber floor tile. The burn resistance of cigarette butts can be detected. Sometimes there will be the imagination of yellowing, which is normal, because it is smoked by cigarette tar, not caused by burning, and it can be removed by wiping. To test the flame retardancy, a lighter can be used to ignite the test. (Generally, the outer flame temperature of the lighter is 280~500 degrees Celsius). If the floor tile is extinguished immediately after leaving the fire, it means that it is flame-retardant. There are others such as directly scratching the floor surface, biting your teeth, smelling odors, etc., which are all simple ways to detect rubber floor tiles.
