TECHNICAL DATA 2022.10.26

Durability against rolling loads

of Vinyl Sheets & Tiles

Use below data as a performance index to judge the durability against rolling loads.
Equipment such as stretchers, carts, pallet trucks, wheeled chairs, etc. give stress on ﬂoorings not only by their own weight but also by caster rolling.
The cause of delamination and/or damage of ﬂoor coverings where casters run back and forth, is the stress by rolling loads aﬀecting signiﬁcantly theﬂoorings’ durability.

S & A rank represents enough durability
against rolling loads.

Roll the caster on the specimen with speciﬁed load. If the time until ﬂoor getsswelled is longer, it has better durability to rolling loads.

● Rolling loads onto ﬂoorings

Total weight Grounding area (cm2)● Test Method

Caster rolling test (JIS A 1454): as the 1st stage test
Set the specimen platform which moves back and forth, right and left directions(Figure 1). Let the pressure caster draw swivel trajector y (Figure 2) by the
movement of the specimen platform. Evaluate by the time until the specimen isswelled or damaged.
Loading: 2000N (approx. 204kgf, approx. 900N/ cm2)
Caster: Iron, 110mm dia., 50mm width
Substrate: Fiber-reinforced cement board, 10mm thickness
Independent test by TOLI: as the 2nd stage test
Conduct tougher test by changing to smaller caster in case the test result of 1ststage is "more than 180 minutes".

Durability against static loads

of Vinyl Sheets, Tiles & Carpet Tiles

Use below data as a performance index to judge the durability against static loads of heavy equipment.
When furniture or equipment are removed after they are left for a long period of time, we ﬁnd indent in some cases. Durability to static load indicates how
resilient each ﬂoor covering is. In general, soft-surface ﬂoorings tend to have low recovery from indentation.
The less indentation means the better
durability against static load.

● Test Method● Test Method

Indentation Test B (in accordance with JIS A 1454)

Reduced thickness test by static loads (JIS L 1021-6 /long time/heavy weight)
Measure the initial thickness before loading, then put 700kPa load on the specimen
by static loading device for 24hours. Measure the thickness 24 hours after removal.
Following equipment are used for this testing.

Use the residual indentation tester with theattachment (steel stick with 19mmφ
hemispherical tip which can put 222N load) andpress the ﬂooring for 5 mins.
Measure the thickness at 60 mins. after removing
the load, and compare with the thickness before
testing.

Measuring instrument: to measure the thickness inFig.1
accuracy of 0.1mm, with disk pressurizer sizedfrom 300mm2 to 1000mm2, with speciﬁed standard
ability of pressuring 2.0kPa ±0.2kPa
Testing stand: Made of metal, 6mm thickness,
capable to measure the specimen sized 100mm × fulcrum
100mm.
Test machine for static indent load: Device with pressurizer
2mm+ bigger than the pressurizer in radius,
capable to put 700kPa on the specimen (Figure 1) specimen

Example of Indentation*All the testing was conducted by TOLI's in-house labs unless otherwise speciﬁed. The data shows actual test results, not guaranteed value.
