E = Excellent - Continuous exposure for 7 days with nominal weight
change.
G = Good - Continuous exposure for 72 hours with nominal weight
change.
F = Fair - Continuous exposure for 24 hours with nominal weight
change.
OS = Occasional Spillage - Continuous exposure for 8 hours with
nominal weight change.
NR = Not Resistant
*Typical Properties: Not To Be Used As Specifications
Chemical resistance ratings of G, F, or OS
require the floor to be rinsed with water or the chemical neutralized
during or immediately after the time limits. Chemical resistance
ratings of NR mean the spill must be cleaned and/or neutralized immediately
or permanent chemical attack and damage will occur. The specimens
were tested for weight and hardness changes only; staining of the
systems will occur with some chemicals. If staining is a concern,
contact Garland Floor for specific recommendations.
This is a guide of the chemical resistance
of Garland Floors' products to specific chemicals. The combination
of specific chemicals will change the Garland Floors' product chemical
resistance. A specimen should be tested under actual or simulated
conditions. The combination of chemicals requires a written recommendation
from the Garland Floor Company. |
