Freudenberg Bausysteme KG, Germany, has introduced its new rubber floorcovering, Noraplan Astro, through a new production technology. The range includes four colour groups with four colour variations each. With regard to the selected colour families, the planners selected blue, green, warm beige, brown and red shades as well as the spacious grey, which is frequently used in modern architecture.
Up to now, rubber lines from which the floorcovering is cut later, have been rolled out using cylinder-type calender bowls. The newly developed production technique, however, uses an innovative twin strip press which prolongs the vulcanisation and compaction process and which produces the floorcovering applying a significantly higher pressure.
Noraplan Astro is a rubber floorcovering of 2 mm thickness and a mat, unstructured surface. The floorcovering offers a fascinating scope for accentuation options in demanding objects, thus being suitable for use in office buildings and public building construction. It is dimensionally stable, does not contain any plasticisers or formaldehyde, can be installed quickly and easily, possesses outstanding fire-protection properties, has excellent footfall sound absorption, and is antistatic.
Freudenberg, a worldwide market leader in the field of rubber floorcoverings, offers a complete range of accessories for Noraplan Astro, matching all colour shades of the product.
