colorex" plus creating better environments FLOORING SYSTEMS

Protecting your technology. Colorex is an advanced technical flooring system specifically designed to control static discharge in sensitive areas such as cleanrooms, operating theatres and the electronics industry. Not only does Colorex provide an advanced technical solution, it is also aesthetically pleasing, enhancing any commercial interior from industrial to educational establishments.

Providing peace of mind Forbo Flooring Systems is an international market leader with a wealth of experience in providing ESD and clean room flooring with probably the best known brand in the market place - Colorex. You can have peace of mind that Colorex complies to every standard and norm that is required today and likely to be required tomorrow. ESD flooring Environmental credentials We constantly strive to produce sustainable flooring systems that create better environments everywhere. At the same time we help take care of the natural environment through our commitment to sustainable...

We start where others stop Colorex is only available in tile format as this enables quicker installation, especially in small and medium areas or rooms with irregular shapes. The tile format also ensures less wastage than sheet, making it the environmentally preferable option. Colorex provides all the features normally associated with ESD sheet product but with the additional benefits mentioned above that the tile format offers. ESD sheet products require a high plastisicer content which can result in out-gassing. In contrast.Colorex tiles have a small percentage of plastiscer content and...

As Colorex also has very low plasticiser content there’s no need to worry about emissions or shrinkage and the corresponding diminishing of conductive properties. Our production process produces a material of superior and consistent quality with an extremely high and uniform compression. The easy-clean surface is pore free, making it suitable for the most stringent hygiene requirements, right up to certified cleanrooms. 2. Step 2: High pressure production By applying very high pressure and a high temperature, these coated chips are then compressed into solid blocks of homogeneous material....

The Colorex system Colorex can be used in many different applications. It can be installed by fully adhering it directly to a subfloor or bonding it to a raised access floor panel. It can also be laid as part of a loose lay tile system. Colorex is available with three levels of conductivity, each of which can be installed as described above. The loose lay slip resistant version (R11 plus) completes the comprehensive Colorex high tech solutions offer.

Colorex EC High performance With Colorex EC, static charges flow easily through the dense network of tiny conductive veins that run through the whole thickness of the tile. The charge is transmitted via the conductive adhesive and securely discharged to earth via the copper strip. It’s a completely natural system that needs no volatile, chemical antistatic additives to aid conductivity. The conductivity is not affected by changes in temperature or humidity.

Colorex EC plus High performance Colorex SD plus   (only available on request) Renovating an industrial floor can be a very costly and labour intensive endeavour. The downtime needed to move or disassemble heavy production equipment and the cost of a complex subfloor renovation can begin to add up before work on installing the new floor has even started. Colorex EC plus is a high performance floor covering system that consists of loose lay tiles. Suitable for applications where expensive preparatory measures and downtimes are not acceptable, it can be installed without any interruptions and...

Functionality: Description:        Permanently conductive Permanently conductive floor, connection between tiles through dovetails and connected to earth with copper strip. Compliant to IEC 61340-4-5 with appropriate ESD shoes. Application  Renovation of ESD facilities, cleanrooms,   areas:  pharmaceutical laboratories and production sites. Suitable when down time, damp floors or poor sub floors are an issue. Colorex ramp In applications where Colorex plus has been installed as a stand alone working island or does not finish at a wall, access ramps are available in grey or colour matched to...

1 Colorex fully adhered directly to the floor 2 Colorex on top of a raised floor panel 1. Colorex fully adhered directly to the floor Colorex can be installed onto a solid subfloor. When conductive properties are required, this should be done by firstly using a conductive primer after which copper tape, connected to an earth point, and conductive adhesive is applied. When Colorex is installed using this process, the static charged is drained to earth via the earthing point. When conductivity is not required a standard primer and adhesive can be used. When Installed on solid floors, Colorex...
