6. Rubber flooring is flooring made from either natural tree rubber or recycled rubber
from vehicle tires. Long-touted for its slip-resistant qualities and durability in gyms,
hospitals, factories, and other commercial buildings and establishments, rubber flooring
is increasingly being installed in kitchens, garages, playrooms and other residential
applications.
Purpose
One popular method of making sure your flooring is ESD safe is to include rubber in the
flooring. Rubber is a material that doesnโt conduct electricity, and so it can stop static discharge
before it becomes harmful. Weโve got options that utilize rubber in flooringโcheck out why
itโs a good option.
Rubber is very durable. If you need flooring in a high-traffic area, this option allows you to
make sure the flooring will stand up and last for years. You can also find options with a top
layer that isnโt made of rubber so that your floor can look like wood or carpet while
withstanding the traffic.
7. Rubber is also a low maintenance material. You donโt need to spend a lot of time
taking care of it to make sure it stands up to the traffic or environmental conditions.
Install the flooring, give it maintenance once in a while, and youโre good to go.
Rubber is also perfect for flooring in areas where people are on their feet all day. The
little spring from the rubber helps with ergonomics and makes standing or walking far
more comfortable. If youโre putting flooring in a lab or workshop where people wonโt
be sitting, consider rubber for its ergonomic properties as well as ESD.
The material can also create a sound barrier between floors of a building. Rubber
absorbs sound and acts as a dampener between stories. Your downstairs neighbor
wonโt hear you, and you wonโt have to worry about the interruptions from other
floors.
8. In addition to protecting you from static discharge, rubber flooring is water resistant.
The building beneath the flooring will be protected from liquid spills or floods that
might occurโyou wonโt need to worry about damaging the building itself if an
accident happens.

23. Glue polyurethane Subphase paper Teflon for high
temperature(3,3-didodecylquaterthiophene) for high
flexibility Silicone rubber is a thermally resistant
waterproofing material with a silicon-oxygen base.
As a type of rubber, it exhibits standard elastomeric properties, such as
high flexibility and tensile strength Instead, the material's molecules
dissolve without breaking up, rendering it harmless. Nitrile is produced
by emulsifying butadiene and acrylonitrile together in water, then
polymerizing the result, which converts the single unit molecules of the
new combined material into larger molecules with multiple units.
26. ๏ถ Rubber floors have been commonly overlooked because they can be pricey
and they have a reputation of being difficult to maintain. However, rubber
flooring is actually quite easy to maintain and while it may cost more than
some flooring options, its durability makes it a great long term investment.
๏ถ The following are the main advantages of installing rubber flooring in your
home or business.
๏ถ Rubber flooring is a flooring type that is quickly gaining popularity in a wide range of
settings.
๏ถ This type of flooring has already been popular in gyms, fieldhouses, and weight
rooms, but it is being used more in homes and commercial buildings.
๏ถ Not only are rubber floors resilient, durable, and easy to maintain, but they are also
available in many different colours and designs to fit the decor of any space.

28. ๏ง Very wide scope in future because rubber waste day to day becoming high but
this tiles make from the scrap so this tiles is do not harm environment and
recycle rubber is so cheap so the tiles is also budget friendly.
๏ง Tiles absorb energy so in many place like highly walking zone or work out zone
like play area, gym, entrance or exit public transport, mall etcโฆ
๏ง This tile is remove and replace easily and that is washable.
๏ง Use in cinema because of sound absorption.
๏ง Available in manty texture, size and colour because very high in demand.
๏ง Now day tiles available matt, glossy metallic or whatever you expected. So we
build attractive flooring.

toughness, stiffness long-lasting and improve quality of product.
