General Information

This product must be used for interior applications only and be installed by professional installers that have sufficient professional liability insurance coverage (aka Errors and Omissions Insurance) for the project.

Mats Inc. recommends installing and maintaining entrance matting at all outdoor entrances; this will improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and lengthen the life of your floors.

Proper glides must be used on all furniture that may slide directly across the floor. Heavy objects must not be moved directly across the floor; use protective boards.

Direct sunlight can cause UV damage (fading or bleaching) to most interior finishes, so Low E glass should be selected that will reduce the UV transmission to less than 1%. If not, applying 3M™ protection film (or similar) on the windows is recommended.

July 2018 Floorworks ® Page 4 of 10

The subfloor must be tested for porosity according to ASTM F3191 - Standard Practice for Field Determination of Substrate

Water Absorption (Porosity) for Substrates to Receive Resilient Flooring.

Note: The water droplet must be absorbed within 5 minutes to be considered porous. Diamond grinding (or similar) the concrete surface open to make it porous is acceptable.

Concrete Subfloors

Unless stated otherwise, all concrete subfloors must be prepared in accordance with ASTM F710 Standard Practice for

Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring.

The substrate must be clean (without contaminates), structurally sound and smooth enough for the flooring and end user. When required, use only commercial grade leveling or patching compounds with ≥ 3000 psi that also meet the moisture requirements of the subfloor. If the subfloor has standing water, hydrostatic pressure, ASR, or if chemical adhesive removers have been used, do not install; contact the Mats Inc. Technical

Department.

Underfloor Heating

:

This is suitable providing the adhesive line does not exceed 85°F, and the system is not used for 72 hours after the installation. When it is used, the temperature must not be increased more than 5°F per day, or thermal shock may cause bond failure.

Joints & Cracks:

No expansion joint or moving joint should be covered over or filled as subfloor movement may cause installation failure.

Use a suitable industry standard expansion joint assembly system as required.

Leveling & Patching Compounds:

If required, meet the “Smooth & Flat” requirements (below), using a commercial grade (≥ 3000 psi) suitable leveling underlayment or suitable patching compound, following the manufacturers written instructions and limitations. These must also meet the given moisture level and allow it to cure/dry before proceeding.

Other Subfloors

Do not install over any rubber floor; for all other subfloor/substrates contact Mats Inc. Technical Department. Mats Inc. accepts no liability for any failure due to other manufacturers flooring products or the possible breakdown of that flooring bond from the subfloor for any reason.

Smooth & Flat

All substrates must be both smooth (ridge-free) and with a minimum flatness and gradient tolerance of ≤ 3/16-inch over 10ft.

Installation Instructions

Tools

Personal protective equipment (PPE) – 3M ™ Easy Trap Duster – tape measure – straight edge – pencil – string line – utility knife with blades – scribing tool – thermo-hygrometer – 100-lb. three section roller – Infrared thermometer – adhesive trowel handle with FCA blades – camera phone.

Layout

Follow the detailed layout drawings provided, or agreed upon by the designer, architect or end user. Calculate and mark out your start lines using a string line, straight edge, and pencil.

The material layout should be decided by the architect, designer or end user, however, for planks, Mats Inc. recommends the head or cross seams are at least 12 inches apart and random (without any pattern repeating). In general, the length of plank should be installed in the same direction as the length of the room, but other options are acceptable.

July 2018 Floorworks ® Page 5 of 10

If the flooring has any visible defects, do not install any flooring; contact the Mats Inc. Technical Department immediately.

Installation

First, ensure the area is clean using a Hepa filtered vacuum. Following your start lines, apply the selected adhesive to a workable section of the floor, not so large an area to avoid late placement into the adhesive bed. After the appropriate open-time, install the flooring following the start lines exactly. Trim and install all cuts as you go, do not allow the adhesive to dry. If it does, remove and replace the adhesive.

Do not pressure fit or allow the seams to peak. Prior to starting the next section and before the working time expires, use a

100-lb (45kg), three-section floor roller, slowly roll the entire floor in each direction at least three times, repeat these steps for the remaining floor. Once finished, roll the entire floor again, until no longer required.

Adhesive Application

MI 1000 Adhesive:

This can be used either as a wet-set or semi-dry adhesive, depending upon the porosity of the substrate. Apply using a 1/32 inch x 1/16 inch x 1/32 inch U-notched trowel (FFA). The adhesive must be applied at an angle of approximately 60° to the prepared substrate without voids or puddles. Do not make any sharp turns with the trowel to avoid an uneven application of the adhesive. Do not re-notch trowels; replace them as required.

Wet-set:

Providing the substrate is porous, and humidity levels are correct, the flooring may be correctly placed into the adhesive after approximately ten minutes of open time, depending on site conditions.

Semi-Wet:

When the substrate is non-porous, allow the adhesive to become dry to the touch, then immediately and correctly place the flooring into the adhesive. The timing will depend on the humidity levels and porosity of the substrate. Important: Install the flooring into the exposed adhesive within two (2) hours after it has become “Semidry” or “Dry-to-the-touch” and do not allow the adhesive to become contaminated with dust or anything else; if it does, remove the adhesive and apply fresh adhesive.

Spray-Lock 6500 Adhesive:

Mark out the floor (pencil) into ~ 150 -185 sq. ft. sections. Clean the substrate again using a flat mop and “3M ™ Easy Trap Duster sheets”, or similar. Wipe your hand across the substrate, if dust is transferred then repeat or wash the floor until it is clean.

Apply the adhesive following the instructions on the can.

Shake the aerosol cans well before use. Protect from overspray using a spray shield, cardboard or similar. Spray the adhesive 20-30 inches from the substrate while walking from right to left. The adhesive should spray out in a white mist and fall like snow, following the spray pattern on the label.

Wait 10-20 minutes for adhesive to dry before installing the flooring. There should be no transfer of adhesive to finger.

The flooring must be installed within 2 hours. Do not allow the adhesive to over-dry, become contaminated with dust or similar.

Clean-up:

Remove any adhesive from the surface using a clean damp cloth; if fully cured then use 70% Isopropyl alcohol. Repeat these steps for the remainder of the floor.

Maintenance Instructions

Precautions

Do not perform any wet maintenance procedures for 72 hours after the installation to allow the adhesive to cure, unless the

MI Success Tape was used; then it can be cleaned immediately.

Always post “wet floor” signs and/or “caution tape” when wet maintenance is going to be performed. Prohibit foot traffic until the floor is completely dry. Remove all metal objects prior to wetting the flooring. Follow facilities Standard Operating

Procedures (SOP). All Safety Data Sheets and product label instructions must be read understood and followed prior to using the product.

July 2018 Floorworks ® Page 6 of 10

Initial Cleaning (after installation)

Dust mop or vacuum the floor to remove dirt or grit.

Note: This is the single most important maintenance activity for preserving the appearance and performance of the floor and is typically the most overlooked and omitted.

Wet mop the entire floor using a suitable neutral cleaning solution like Diversey Profi or similar. Allow the solution a dwell time of approximately 5 minutes. Scrub the flooring using a suitable auto-scrubbing machine or floor scrubber (~ 175 RPM) with a red pad. For small areas, a soft nylon broom and wet vacuum may also be used. Wet vacuum up the soiled solution. Rinse with clean water. Remove using a wet vacuum, and allow the floor to dry.

Floor Finish

An acrylic floor finish can provide protection from wear, staining, and soil in addition to the desired gloss level especially for medium to high traffic areas. Floor finishes are applied using the recommended mop and allowing the recommended drying time between coats. In most cases, buffing the floor will maintain the gloss level. It is important when buffing that the floor is thoroughly cleaned first.

When selecting floor finishes, use those recommended for solid vinyl floor tile. Suggestions are Mats Inc. Duo-Seal or other suitable product like Diversey Carefree ® Matte Floor Finish. Apply 2-3 thin coats of a using a flat microfiber mop.

Allow drying time between each coat.

The frequency for re-applying the floor finish will vary based on the application, traffic, and end-user preferences. To reapply, first, perform a “Deep Cleaning”.

Note: In certain types of applications it is possible to maintain Floorworks ® products with a low gloss without the use of floor finish. Light traffic areas or moderate traffic areas with cleaning and entrance mat programs are essential for a “non-coated” system. A light buffing with a soft white pad will maintain a low gloss level.

Daily Cleaning

Dust mop or vacuum the floor to remove dirt or grit. Damp mop using a flat microfiber mop and Mats Inc. Duo-Clean or a suitable neutral cleaning solution. Change the microfiber head as often as required and allow the floor to dry prior to use.

Large or heavily trafficked areas should use a suitable auto-scrubbing machine or floor scrubber (~ 175 RPM) with a red pad and Mats Inc. Duo-Clean or a suitable neutral cleaning solution and allow the floor to dry prior to use.

Scrub and wet vacuum up the soiled solution. Rinse with clean water then wet vacuum it up and allow the floor to dry prior to use.

Deep Cleaning

This may be required when your routine cleaning is not meeting your expectations. Dust mop or vacuum the floor to remove dirt or grit.

Wet mop the entire floor using Mats Inc. Duo-Clean or a suitable neutral cleaning solution. Allow solution a dwell time of ~ 5 minutes. This should be performed using a suitable auto-scrubbing machine or floor scrubber (~ 175 RPM) with a red pad.

For small areas, a medium nylon broom and wet-vacuum may also be used.

Scrub and remove the soiled solution using a wet vacuum. Rinse with clean water then wet vacuum it up and allow the floor to dry prior to use.

Additional Information

Do not use dust mops treated with oils or silicones, acetone, strong alkaline cleaning agents, scouring powder, strong solvents, or abrasive cleaning pads, as these can damage the product.

Some materials are known to cause staining on vinyl floors. Typical examples include: asphalt and bitumen materials, cardboard/hardboard (wet), fire treatment and maintenance materials used on carpets could transfer to vinyl flooring and cause staining, dyes from printed literature or packaging, rubber-backed carpets and rubber mats, rubber furniture rests and wheels, shoe soles not made from non-staining materials, heat degradation, some chemicals used in cleaners e.g. pine oil.
