There is no need to regularly renovate or extensively test your static control flooring or to worry about unstable conductivity levels. Thanks to its proprietary formulation and to the absence of chemical antistatic additives, the static control properties of ColoRex® are independent from ambient humidity and will remain constant throughout the usable life of the tiles.

Raised access floors Laminar flow air treatment
The product is free of internal stresses and does not keep deformations. Even when thermally cycled the product will return to its original shape and dimension.

ColoRex® tiles are dimensionally stable and are not chipped when perforated. This is of vital importance
for raised floor applications in high-tech areas and cleanrooms with laminar flow air treatment. ColoRex®
can be maintained with dry methods and/or spray buffing when necessary.

Minimal outgassing and low risk of carbon contamination
Outgassing: chemicals leaving the tiles at ambient or slightly higher temperature.

Chemical contamination by outgassing and particulate contamination by the release of carbon particles are known critical issues in cleanroom environments as they may cause defective end products, malfunction or failure of process equipment and production stops. At Forbo, intensive R&D and latest technology testing equipment are used to ensure the constant compliance of ColoRex® to the increasingly stringent contamination control standards set by the industry.

Low body voltage generation
Voltage generated and accumulated by a person when moving, and in this specific case, when walking.

ColoRex® is not only an effective product to safely ground electrostatic charges, it has also proved to effec-tively minimize the generation of such charges on moving personnel and equipment in static control sensitive environments.

Chemical resistance
Resistance to different chemicals like acids, bases and solvents during 24 hours exposure.

ColoRex® shows excellent resistance against many strong acids and alkalis. Even the accidental spillage of etching process chemicals will not harm its surface and product properties.

Mechanical Resistance
Resistance to damage from static and rolling loads by the combination of high tensile strength and high
elongation, therefore achieving low residual indentation and excellent wear resistance.

Industrial floors are often damaged by intense and heavy traffic, especially by forklifts and pallet jacks rolling on small, hard wheels. ColoRex® is manufactured through a special high-pressure process with a very low plasticizer content and shows therefore an excellent resistance against static and dynamic mechanical strain.

100% Repairable
Repaired materials achieve the same performance as the original prior to damage.

Deep scratches, holes, burns and other more or less severe surface damages on ordinary vinyl floorings often require one or more tiles to be stripped and replaced, making the damaged spot even more visible and possibly disrupting the conductivity of the floor. Not with ColoRex®. The homogenous construction and low plasticizer content make it possible to simply and effectively repair any damage, without leaving any trace and without affecting the static control properties.

Personnel Safety
A tight range in electrical conductivity allows to take into account both the safety of ESD sensitive material and the safety of personnel against electrical shock.

With lower conductivity limits in compliance with most international static control standards, ColoRex® provides the protection necessary for both personnel and equipment without risking electrical safety hazards.
