This protective layer makes it more tight and durable. According to the level of wearing quality the material applies to the highest group – T. An additional protective layer from polyurethane greatly simplifies and reduces the costs on handling and cleaning-up. Tile is produced with different thickness: 2, 2,5, 3 mm – depending on the operation class. This floor coating is produced in three groups: for middle (23-31 classes), high (32-42 classes) and very high intensity of usage (43 classes). Tile consists of vinyl and resin, which are added by plasticizers, stabilizers and sometimes inert fillers. All ingredients are compressed under high pressure and high temperature; therewith tile saves elasticity and plasticity of PVC-coatings.
