Soft Color

Product Information Print


Description
Soft Color Type 350 features an opaque light absorbing, non-reflective solid color surface of cushioned sheet vinyl flooring. Soft Color is designed for medium traffic applications. Soft Color vinyl should only be used in facilities where the type of foot wear and casters can be specified by the property owner.

Manufacturing Technology
Soft Color Type 350 is manufactured by co-extruding a homogeneous vinyl solid color non-reflective wear layer over a cushioned vinyl backing.

Recommended Application
Soft Color 350 was designed for use on floors or walls in Photo, Cinema and TV Studios. It also finds use as a Theater Stage or Dance Floor.

NOTE
Any solid color vinyl flooring is more prone to show soil and scuff marks than marbleized vinyl. Do not use vinyl flooring under rubber tires. Avoid black rubber chair or equipment casters as this can cause permanent discoloration due to anti-oxidants in black rubber. Specify antistatic (gray) casters and non-smearing footwear for stage applications.

Follow detailed manufacturers installation instructions. Use TSC-200 water based acrylic adhesive or full surface application of Sigaway® Original dry double faced textile reinforced adhesive when installing Euro-Flex over concrete, or over existing flooring, such as VAT, VCT, wood, fiberglass, epoxy or metal. Heat welding provides ultimate sanitary and bacteriological control properties, as well as chemical resistance, surface moisture resistance and must be employed whenever smooth, monolithic floors are required to prevent penetration of dust, moisture, bacteria, pathogenic substances or chemicals into seams. Rolls must be heat welded for wall to wall installation for dimensional stability. Liquid welds may only be used on walls. Make a test patch prior to installation.
Installation & Maintenance

Coarse dirt should be removed by vacuum cleaning or wiping with a soft brush.

An initial treatment of 1-2 coats of Taski Under-Cover Sealer, followed by 4 coats of Taski Ombra for low gloss.

NOTE
Do not use vinyl tiles under black rubber wheels, such as in automotive showrooms, as there can be permanent discoloration (browning) due to the antioxidants used in rubber.
