Easy Maintenance = Lower Life Cycle Costs

LinoArt linoleum can play a key role in keeping maintenance and labor
costs down for facility owners and managers. The new NATURCote II
high performance coating, featured on all LinoArt products, reduces the
amount of cleaning products required. Routine maintenance can be as
easy as mopping and autoscrubbing, eliminating time and disruptions
from stripping and polishing.

NATURCote II High Performance Coating Resists:

Scratches and scuffs from foot traffic
Dirt build-up and stains
Damage from alcohol-based hand sanitizers
Damage from accidental exposure to high pH
cleaning chemicals

Long Life for High Traffic Spaces

From the school corridors travelled by generations of students to hospital hallways subject to thousands of patients, carts, and gurneys, LinoArt
linoleum maintains its color and beautiful appearance. The through-pattern construction makes it the ideal choice for lasting durability in high
impact environments.
Before Armstrong calls a floor durable, its put through extensive testing, and then tested some more. Armstrong floors meet or exceed ASTM
International Standards. They are additionally tested to any number of over 150 flooring-related tests, many of which are Armstrong proprietary.
This ensures the flooring products can withstand ever-moving furniture, rolling casters, soil, stains, falling objects, tears, scratches, indents, and
anything else a commercial environment encounters that can impact the fit and finish of a floor.
Why do we test our floors so extensively? So your Armstrong flooring will perform and look great for years to come.

Easy Installation
Rapid completion schedules are driving the need for products which can be quickly installed. An additional way to short cut installation time in
non-aseptic areas is the S-761 seaming system, a quick and easy method to provide excellent seam integrity with a clean continuous look. Seaming
time can be cut from hours to minutes, and material and labor costs can be reduced by more than 80%. This solution is great for designs
with small intricate patterns.
For aseptic spaces, refer to our weld rod offerings.

International Specifications

Gauge (nominal thickness)

ASTM F 970 450 psi (<_ 0.005 residual indentation)

NOTE: While these static load limits meet ASTM F 2034 (sheet) /
F 2195 (tile) requirements for residual indentation, it could result in a
visually apparent indentation. For this reason, Armstrong proposes the
following static load limits.
Granette Tile
- 250 psi (17.6 kg/cm2) no visually apparent indentation
- 1500 psi (105 kg/cm2) < 0.005 in. residual indentation
Rhythmics, Marmorette, Granette, Linorette Sheet
- 250 psi (17.6 kg/cm2) no visually apparent indentation
- 450 psi (31.6 kg/cm2) < 0.005 in. residual indentation
Colorette Sheet
- 125 psi (8.8 kg/cm2) no visually apparent indentation
- 450 psi (31.6 kg/cm2) < 0.005 in. residual indentation

Limitations

Linoleum products should not be used in the following areas:

Hospital operating rooms
Commercial kitchens and commercial food-processing areas
Heavy industrial areas
Exterior areas
Where pointed spikes such as golf or track shoes will be used
Where the floor will be subjected to unusually concentrated static or
dynamic loads
NOTE: Concentrated static and dynamic loads such as hospital beds, rollout bleachers, portable x-ray machines, etc., may visibly damage resilient
as well as other types of floor coverings. For questions regarding product
suitability and detailed instructions for floor preparation and installation in
these applications, please contact Armstrong.

Suitable for Application Over

Concrete, terrazzo and other dry, structurally sound monolithic

subfloors, which are suspended on grade or below grade.
Suspended wood subfloor construction with approved wood
underlayments, and a minimum of 18 in. (45.7 cm) well ventilated air
space below
Steel, stainless steel, aluminum and lead, and most existing singlelayer resilient floors on approved underlayments
Radiant-heated subfloors with a maximum surface temperature of
85 F (29 C).

Unsuitable for Application Over*

Subfloors where excessive moisture or alkali is present
Sleeper-constructed wood subfloors
Lightweight aggregate concrete subfloors having a density of less than
90 lbs. per cu. ft. (1442 kg/m3) or cellular concrete having a plastic
(wet density less than 100 lbs. per cu. ft. (1602 kg/m3)[94 lbs. per
cu. ft. (1506 kg/m3) dry weight], or concrete having a compressive
strength of less than 3500 psi (24 Mpa). Concrete slabs with heavy
static and/or dynamic loads should have higher design strengths and
densities calculated to accommodate such loads.
Concrete curing agents, sealers, hardeners, or parting agents should
be removed.

INSTALLATION
Job Conditions
Subfloors/underlayments shall be dry, clean and smooth. They shall be
free of dust, solvents, varnish, paint, wax, oil, grease, residual adhesive,
adhesive removers, permanent markers and other foreign materials that
might affect the adhesion of resilient flooring or cause a discoloration of
the flooring from below.
Spray paints, permanent markers and other indelible ink markers must
not be used to write on the back of the flooring material or used to
mark the concrete slab as they could bleed through, telegraphing up
to the surface and permanently staining the flooring material. If these
contaminants are present on the substrate they must be mechanically
removed prior to the installation of the flooring material
For more detailed requirements of concrete, wood and metal subfloors,
as well as trowelable and wood underlayments, refer to the installation
instructions at armstrong.com.
Moisture testing must be performed on all concrete slabs regardless
of their age or grade level including areas where resilient flooring has

already been installed. Moisture Vapor Emission Rate (MVER) using

Calcium Chloride (ASTM F1869) and/or percent internal relative humidity
(ASTM F 2170) tests must be conducted in strict accordance with the
most current edition of the ASTM test method. Following are Armstrongs
maximum allowable moisture limits:
When using S-780 Adhesive, moisture test results shall not exceed a
MVER of 5.0 lbs. /1000 sq. ft. /24 hrs. per ASTM F 1869 and/or 85%
RH per ASTM F 2170.
When using S-240 Adhesive, moisture test results shall not exceed a
MVER of 5.0 lbs. /1000 sq. ft. /24 hrs. per ASTM F 1869 and/or 80%
RH per ASTM F 2170. NOTE: S-240 ADHESIVE CANNOT BE USED TO
INSTALL LINOLEUM TILE.
On installations where both the Moisture Vapor Emission Rate and
percent internal relative humidity tests are conducted, results for both
tests shall comply with the allowable limits listed above.
Before installation concrete floors should also be tested for pH following
the procedures in ASTM F 710. When testing for pH, the allowable
readings for the installation of Armstrong linoleum sheet flooring are 5 to
11 when using S-780 and 5 to 9 when using S-240.
Bond Tests should also be conducted for compatibility with the substrate.
Temperature shall be maintained at a minimum of 65 F(18 C) and
a maximum of 100 F (38 C) for 48 hours prior to installation, during
installation and 48 hours after completion when using S-780. When
using S-240, the temperature shall be maintained at a minimum of
65 F(18 C) and a maximum of 85 F (29 C) for 48 hours prior
to installation, during installation and 48 hours after completion. A
minimum temperature of 55 F (13 C) shall be maintained thereafter.
Condition all flooring materials and adhesives to room temperature for
at least 48 hours prior to starting installation. Protect all materials from
the direct flow of heat from hot-air registers, radiators, or other heating
fixtures and appliances.
Procedure
Armstrong linoleum tile must be installed full spread using Armstrong
S-780 Adhesive. Armstrong linoleum sheet products must be installed
full spread using Armstrong S-780 Adhesive with the option to use
S-580 Adhesive in flash cove areas. Seams must be heat welded or
adhered with Armstrong S-761 Seam Adhesive. In areas with heavy
concentrated static or dynamic loads, it may be necessary to install
linoleum sheet with S-240 High Performance Epoxy Flooring Adhesive.
Detailed installation instructions can be found at armstrong.com.

MAINTENANCE

LinoArt linoleum sheet and tile are designed to be maintained by

traditional resilient flooring maintenance methods. The urethane protective
finish may make initial maintenance easier, as well as reduce ongoing
maintenance procedures.
Initial Maintenance Immediately After Installation
Sweep, dust mop or vacuum the floor thoroughly to remove all loose
dust, dirt, grit and debris.
Remove any dried adhesive residue with a clean, white cloth
dampened with mineral spirits, carefully following warnings on the
container.
Damp mop with a properly diluted neutral detergent solution such as
Armstrong S-485 Floor Cleaner.
Do not wet mop, wash or scrub the floor for at least five days after
installation.
If maintaining LinoArt linoleum with polish, as temporary measure,
apply a minimum of two coats of high quality commercial floor polish
such as Armstrong S-480 Floor Polish to protect the floor until regular
maintenance procedures can be started.
NOTE:
Before applying polish, it will be necessary to first scrub the floor with a
properly diluted neutral cleaner using a floor machine fitted with a blue
scrubbing pad (3M blue or equal).
