Bamboo Specs
ECO-FRIENDLY, RENEWABLE RESOURCE
Bamboo grows extremely fast, reaching maturity after just six years, compared with sixty years for hardwood forests - a beautiful, natural solution for a green future.TOUGH AND DURABLE
moboo Strand Woven Bamboo flooring is extremely dense and hard. It hastwice the indentation resistance of Red Oak.
( Janke test 2600 Psi Vs. Red Oak 1200 Psi )
HYPOALLERGENIC
moboo Flooring is hypoallergenic - it is non-pollutant, termite and allergy resistant, with emission levels much lower than W.H.O standards (E1.0.0155PPM). It is an extremely healthy and safe choice for you and your family.HIGH STABILITY
moboo Flooring is less susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity compared with traditional timber floors.SCRATCH RESISTANT
moboo Flooring is finished with up to nine layers of highest quality Klumpp and Treffert coatings. This durable, scratch-resistant, low gloss finishprovides a hygienic, easy to clean, floor solution for your home.
EASY INSTALLATION
Available in Tongue & Groove and Uniclic systems.RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATION
moboo Flooring is suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
Bamboo Flooring Specs and Technical.
ABRASION RESISTANCE
Bamboo flooring tested according to ASTM C501 (H-22 Calibrated wheels loaded with 1000 gram weight at 70 RPM for 1000 cycles) weight loss = .349 grams. The test we have done for abrasion resistance showed that moboo finish is one of the toughest to be found in the wood flooring industry.
FLAMMABILITY
Bamboo flooring tested according to ASTM E648 Critical Radiant Panel Test. Passes with a CLASS I rating per NFPA “Life Safety Code”. (Can be used in all classes of buildings.)
SMOKE DENSITY
Bamboo flooring tested according to ASTM E622 pass = 450 or less, passes with 269 flaming mode and 329 non-flaming mode.
CHEMICAL AND STAIN RESISTANCE
Bamboo flooring tested with the following chemical reagents finish was unaffected: Acetic Acid (5%) Acetone Ammonium Hydroxide (10%) Toluene
Detergent Solution Ethyl Alcohol (50%) Hydrochloric Acid (10%) Turpentine Heavy Duty (.025%) Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) Soap Solution (1%) Sodium Hydroxide (1%)
INDENTATION RESISTANCE
Bamboo flooring according to ASTM 1037 (Janka Ball Hardness) showed and average hardness of 1640. (27% harder than northern red oak and 14% harder than hard maple)
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
Bamboo flooring according to standard method for wood flooring showed a dimensional change coefficient of .00144. (50% more stable than red oak)
SLIP RESISTANCE
Bamboo flooring according to ASTM D2047 = results 0.71 coefficient of friction. Static efficient 0f 590 exceeds the OSHA recommendation for level surfaces in the workplace.
COMPRESSIVE STENGTH
Bamboo flooring according to ASTM D3043-87 A = results A. Parallel to Grain = 7,549 PSI B. Perpendicular to Grain = 2,566 PSI C. Flat wise = 16,925 PSI at 50% Strain. (Load to compress to ½ thickness.)
BENDING STRENGTH
Bamboo flooring tested according to ASTM D3043-87 result = 13,608 PSI BENDING ELASTICITY MODULUS 943,443 PSI.
SHEAR STRENGTH
Bamboo flooring tested according to BRITISH STANDARD # 373 result = Parallel to Grain 1365.
TENSILE STRENGTH
Bamboo flooring tested according to ATM D3500-90 A result = Parallel to Grain 15,290 PSI.
