Kinetex Textile Composite Flooring Tile Features:

• ACOUSTICS – Unparalleled Acoustic Performance with one of the highest Noise Reduction Coefficients (NRC) and Impact Insulation Classifications (IIC) ratings of any commercial flooring product. The result is a dramatic reduction in both airborne and structure-born noise, allowing for greater voice recognition, fewer mistakes, less vocal strain, enhanced learning and improved occupant perception.
• COMFORT – Exceptional Anti-Fatigue Properties. Because it can absorb energy, Kinetex has the potential to reduce repetitive foot stress injuries and other injuries related to both standing and frequent movement from place to place.
• DURABILITY – Tested to 5 Million Steps. One of the most thoroughly tested flooring products on the market, it has outstanding dimensional stability and unparalleled crush resistance.
• FIBER – 100% Polyester Continuous Filament Fiber System
• HEALTH – Surpasses California’s 01350 Requirements. Kinetex minimizes air particulates that trigger allergies and cause infection. 
• MAINTENANCE – Holds Less Water & Dries Faster. Kinetex cleans easily with vacuuming, encapsulation cleaning or hot water extraction (in areas prone to heavy soiling). It retains less water than carpet and therefore dries quickly. Kinetex is bleach resistant* and resists the most challenging staining agents, such as blood, urine, betadine and hand sanitizers. Maintenance of Kinetex is simple compared to that of hard-surface flooring. There is no need for stripping, wear layer application or buffing — saving time and maintenance costs.
• MOISTURE – Holds Less Water & Dries Faster. Moisture mitigation is not necessary with Kinetex; its breathable nature allows moisture to pass through its backing, instead of trapping it underneath. 
• SAFETY – Only Textile Floor Covers Certified as High Traction. Kinetex is the only wall-to-wall textile floor covering certified as High-Traction by the National Floor Safety Institute. Its innovative construction creates one of the most slip-resistant flooring surfaces ever tested - wet or dry - to prevent falls before they happen. And with a unique low profile, Kinetex has minimal rolling resistance, potentially reducing injuries from pushing or pulling. 
• SUSTAINABILITY – Made with more than 45% Post Consumer Recycled Content, Kinetex is NSF/ANSI-140 Platinum certified - the industry-leading standard for sustainability.
