Before Flexisurf, swimming pool covers, industrial roofing membranes and tons of automobile upholstery trim scrap were landfilled. These materials are made of PVC plastic with Polyester strands added to increase overall product rigidity and physical strength. Commingled plastics such as these are practically impossible to separate for recycling but combined as Flexisurf they each play an important part in the material’s quality and durability. This retains the many positive attributes that both materials have and which should not be wasted but further utilized.

The materials are collected and sorted by color so that a predictable color of feedstock can be achieved. The material is then granulated and fed into a sheet extruder where color pigment is added. The color penetrates all the way through the material. The light and dark gray colors are available in matte, grid, weave and opti textures. Other colors are available in matte surface only except in larger quantities.

Originally conceived as a recycled resilient industrial flooring, Flexisurf is also finding its way into a variety of other applications such as computer mouse pads, self-healing cutting surfaces and more. Flexisurf is used for furniture components such as ladder treads, tabletop surfaces and other laminate applications where a soft, colorful and environmental material is required.

Flexisurf can be cut with a knife, saw, router, die, water-jet and laser. It can be applied bonded or unbonded to any flat, clean, hard and dry surface. Seams can be welded chemically or by heat to produce watertight joints.

Flexisurf will not shrink, buckle, warp or crack. Flexisurf is easy to clean and maintain. It is stain, chemical, weather, impact and puncture resistant as well as non-corrosive. Flexisurf is treated with Vinyzene^® fungicide to resist mold and bacterial growth. The non-skid, resilient surface reduces noise. It is a completely safe, non-toxic material that causes no harm to the environment during its manufacture or use.

As an extruded product, Flexisurf is heated to high temperatures until it becomes molten. When in the heated state, the material off-gases in a controlled situation. Once the material has cooled, its off-gassing is minimal. Sealing and finishing the exposed surfaces of Flexisurf with typical floor care products inhibits any further off gassing. All materials off-gas and all buildings should be properly ventilated. Flexisurf when sealed and finished in a properly ventilated space will not be a factor with regards to indoor air quality. Flexisurf is available with a factory applied UV cured urethane finish.

With these attributes, Flexisurf is an excellent alternative flooring for commercial, industrial, institutional and residential buildings. It is also appropriate for exterior applications such as sports, recreational, animal, truck beds, and high traffic areas.

Flexisurf rivals conventional flooring in price, quality, durability and appeal. It deserves serious consideration for specification.
