Description:
The test program measured the mold resistance of Lonseal Lonwood Natural flooring. One additional ancillary test for emissions of VOCs and formaldehyde was performed. Lonwood Natural flooring is a sheet vinyl product with an embossed wood-grain texture. Constructed in multiple layers and embossed with distinctive wood grains. It is composed of multiple layers of resin, plasticizers, fillers, and pigments. The co-calendered wear layer is formulated to provide maximum resistance to foot traffic in most commercial and healthcare applications. The middle layer provides dimensional stability, sound-absorbing properties, and resiliency under foot. The backing layer provides strength and stability of the flooring and enhances the bonding strength of the adhesive. The mold resistance is conveyed through the addition of a proprietary chemical as a top layer formulation that gets applied to the surface of the sheet vinyl through a calendaring process.
