| Test Procedure | Description | Value | Conclusion Notes |
| ASTM D2240 |
Hardness Using Shore Durometer ‘A’ | 63± 3.9 Shore A | Hardness is similar to a tire tred |
| ASTM D5116 |
Volatile Organic Compounds | 0.5 PPM/ mL Vessel of C2Cl4 (Tetrachloroethylene) | One mL sample of material has less than 0.50 Parts Per Million by volume |
| ASTM D395 |
Compression Set of Rubber | 4.02± 0.70% *At 0º C constant deflection for 70 hours is 4% |
The lower the % figure the better the surface is able to resist permanent deformation under given deflection and temperature range |
| ASTM C501 |
Relative Wear and Abrasion Resistance | 197 cycles per 1mil of wear | A human (weight dependent) with fairly rough soled shoes would have to step in the exact same spot 197 times for the material to wear one millionth of an inch. |
| ASTM F1679 | Coefficient of Friction (COF) Slip Resistance Using a Neolite Sensor | Dry 0.70 Wet 0.58 |
The Industry accepted standard static COF for a surface is 0.50 COF Walking with average pace is 0.25COF Jogging and sharp turning is 0.40COF |
| ASTM F1679 | Coefficient of Friction (COF) Slip Resistance Using a Simulated Skin | Dry 0.51 Wet 0.49 |
Same as noted above. |
