1.3 Product Description:
Construction: Forbo Marmoleum Cinch LOC Seal has a
2.5 mm thick top layer of Marmoleum, which is made from
natural ingredients including linseed oil, rosin binders,
wood flour, limestone and dry pigments which are mixed
and then calendared onto a natural jute backing. The
Marmoleum is adhered to a 6.8 mm thick HDF panel with a
1.0 mm thick cork backing. The Marmoleum is coated with
Topshield – Forbo’s high-performance factory finish. Its
double UV cured double layer technology delivers
extraordinary performance and clear and vibrant colors
that remain over time. Topshield creates a ‘ready to use’
Marmoleum that requires no initial maintenance or
polymer application. The surface can be repaired or
refreshed in cases of accidents or after years of intensive
use.

2.2 Static Load Limit:
Residual compression of 0.004” with 250 pounds per
square inch when tested in accordance with ASTM
F 970-17, Standard Test Method for Static Load Limit.
2.3 Slip Resistance:
Meets or exceeds the industry recommendation of >0.5 for
flat surfaces when tested in accordance with ASTM D 2047,
Standard Test Method for Static Coefficient of Friction.
2.4 Castor Resistance:
Suitable for office chairs with castors when tested in
accordance with EN 425, Castor Chair Test.
2.5 Impact Sound Reduction:
IIC 64 when tested in accordance with ASTM E 492,
Standard Test Method for Laboratory Measurement of
Impact Sound Transmission Through Floor/Ceiling
Assemblies using the Tapping Machine.
2.6 Resistance to Bacteria:
Provides a self-sanitizing quality in the form of a
bactericidal effect. Independent testing has shown that a
sterile zone around the material inhibits the growth of
organisms such as staphylococcus aureas and Clostridium
difficile.
2.7 Anti-Static Properties:
Naturally anti-static. This property makes cleaning easier
because dirt and dust does not cling to the surface as it
may with other materials.
2.8 Fire Testing:
Class 1 when tested in accordance with ASTM E 648/ NFPA
253, Standard Test Method for Critical Radiant Flux.
Meets 450 or less when tested in accordance with ASTM
E 662/ NFPA 258, Standard Test Method for Smoke Density.
2.9 Cigarette Resistance:
Resists cigarette burns. Burning cigarettes will leave only a
brown mark, which can be rubbed out using steel wool or
a scouring pad.
