SARLON TRAFIC MODUL UP: THE ONLY 100% LOOSE-LAY 19 db SOLUTION FOR HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS! Building on the successful launch of Sarlon habitat modul up, the only 100% loose-lay solution for the new build and refurbishment market, Forbo Flooring is once again breaking new ground with Sarlon trafic modul up, a 100% loose-lay solution with an impact sound reduction of 19 db and designed for use in heavy traffic areas requiring high indentation resistance. Thanks to its innovative DSx3 technology (Double Structural Stabilisation System), Sarlon trafic modul up can easily be laid on both new and old surfaces, including asbestos * floors, without any adhesive and without needing to hold down the edges. Loose-lay installation with a wealth of advantages The Modul up solution is the perfect response to the problems facing the construction market: Ever tighter construction lead-times: the looselay design saves considerable time when installing or removing the floor covering. Shrinking budgets: the adhesive-free design and shorter installation time reduce overall costs. Superior profitability: during refurbishments, office downtime is a direct issue of lost business. The modul up solution minimises such losses by accelerating installation and removal times and especially allowing offices to instantly re-open for business. Waste management for end-of-life products: Sarlon trafic modul up is 100% recyclable, and thanks to its 100% loose-lay design, the old floor surface is easier to reuse due to the absence of any adhesive or levelling compound. Asbestos removal: the presence of asbestos in buildings continues to be a major issue and an extremely costly problem when removal is required. The Modul up solution provides a costeffective way of covering old asbestos floors, since installation work comes under Sub-Section 4 * of French asbestos regulations. Dust measurements taken on site have proven levels to be less than five fibres/litre (no fibres counted). Packed with technology Overclean XL surface treatment Double structural stabilisation system Loose-lay installation Perfect dimensional stability Heavy-duty resistance Impact sound reduction of 19 db High-performance base foam Ensures that the product remains wax-free throughout its entire lifetime Stain-resistant Reduces costs and simplifies cleaning & maintenance operations *Asbestos is a regulated activity; contact Forbo for any enquiries. 4

(2) Except in contact with asbestos floors. 5

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE Indentation halved! The innovative DSx3 structure of Sarlon trafic modul up reduces indentation marks in the product and reabsorbs indentation marks twice as fast. In addition, the adhesive-free design eliminates all the complications caused by the poor application and use of glue, which adversely affect products' indentation behaviour. Unique resistance to extreme stresses Sarlon trafic modul up not only withstands the castor chair test according to the EN 425 standard, but it also resists the same test when performed with extreme stresses: 20% heavier load Three times as many changes in rotation Over 50,000 cycles (i.e. more than twice the requirement of the standard) By the end of the test, the covering did not show any signs of deformation, unlike products without the DSx3 structure. Sarlon trafic modul up is also capable of withstanding a 40% increase in the load used during the furniture leg test according to the EN 424 standard. The product does not bend or tear under stress. Perfect dimensional stability Its unique structure also gives Sarlon trafic modul up near-perfect dimensional stability. Dimensional stability after exposure to heat 0.05% Dimensional stability after immersion 0.05% No expansion to cold (8 C) or heat (60 C) These tests were carried out to determine the resistance and demonstrate the unique performance of the DSx3 structure. All results are available on request. 6

Works Supervisor Patrice Cunat from Marseille-based installation firm Jolisol ALREADY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS PROJECT SITE: MONTFAVET PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL AREAS CONCERNED: CORRIDORS, SOCIAL AREAS AND ROOMS "An unexpected problem cropped up during construction work, which forced us to find an adhesive-free solution for covering the screed, since it had been laid over an underfloor heating system. Forbo, which had been chosen for this project, suggested the Sarlon trafic modul up solution. It did not take us long to realise that this loose-lay solution was going to be just as effective as a traditional full bonded floor covering installation. Its loose-lay installation saved us time on the project (since gluing and setting installation were no longer required), meaning that we managed to make up some of the previously lost time. Furthermore, we received top quality technical support from Forbo's team. I am now a firm believer that adhesive-free floor coverings are the future for our sector, not just for the client but also for the fitting company. They shave time off the project schedule, while addressing professionals' needs. " Jean-François Humbert, Works Supervisor, and Bruno Coqueron, Technical Supervisor at Stéphane Hessel College PROJECT SITE: STÉPHANE HESSEL COLLEGE AREAS CONCERNED: CLASSROOMS. "We had several classrooms that needed renovating. We wanted to create an atmosphere that would match the decoration in the rest of the college and which would encourage students to work. We were won over by Forbo's proposal of installing Sarlon trafic modul up, which ticked every box in terms of appearance and technical performance. We needed an easy-to-clean product guaranteeing high levels of sound reduction and good indentation resistance (since students lean back on their chairs). " "Laying the floor covering without glue was really easy. There was no need to use a levelling compound, since any small imperfections in the substrate were concealed by the Sarlon trafic modul up. Along with the hot-welded seams, we now have a rugged, waterproof floor covering. One year on, the product has not moved an inch, and everyone is happy: teachers enjoy the studious atmosphere and sound reduction, students like the more modern appearance and cleaning staff are delighted with its easy-to-clean design." Jean Montoux, Assistant Director of the Reims Apprentice Training Centre PROJECT SITE: REIMS APPRENTICE TRAINING CENTRE AREAS CONCERNED: CLASSROOMS. "The old floor coverings in our classrooms had suffered from the extreme stresses caused by the abrasive particles (lime, metals, etc.) that apprentices had trodden into the classrooms from the workshops. Therefore, we were on the lookout for an easy-to-clean and waterproof product capable of withstanding intensive footfall and safety boots, which are heavier than trainers. Above all, we needed a product where we could replace all or part of the covering quickly to prevent our classrooms from being out of action for too long. With those specifications in mind, we ended up choosing Sarlon trafic modul up from Forbo. The floor covering was laid directly on top of our smooth untreated floor slabs and, one year later and despite not being glued, the covering has behaved flawlessly!" 7

INSTALLATION THE SIMPLIFIED VERSION Forbo Flooring Adhésif Modul up préco nise Subfloor has to be flat, permanently dry, solid and clean. Trim off over lengths leaving 1mm gap all around the walls. Remove the protective film from the adhesive tape (using a cutter blade for example). Install the modul up adhesive tape (ref 792) on the subfloor at sheet seams and threshold lines. Go on removing the protective film over the lengths of sheets and smooth carefully the seams. Install the first sheet over modul up adhesive tape. Sheets must have about 10cm of overlength. Groove first the seams. Then hot weld properly joins of Sarlon trafic modul up. Install others sheets in the same way. For a perfect finishing, trim off excess of welding rod in 2 steps. 8

INSTALLATION & CLEANING THE DETAILED VERSION INTENDED USE These floor coverings are intended for use in public and private buildings, whether new builds or refurbishments, according to the installation conditions specified in this document Sarlon trafic modul up is suited to heavy footfall areas, such as in educational facilities, healthcare centres, shops, offices and housing common areas. Refer to the description in the UPEC classification book for premises (CSTB Specification 3509). This document specifies, completes or amends the requirements of the different standards mentioned hereinafter according to the characteristics of both the process and its components. For further details, refer to the complete file of the ETN new technology assessment. The floor covering meets the specifications of the following European classes: NAME EUROPEAN CLASSIFICATION Sarlon trafic modul up 33 33 Sarlon trafic modul up 43 34-42 Treatment of seams and edges Dry rooms or occasionally wet rooms: hotwelded seams Constantly wet rooms: hot-welded seams + treatment of edges and penetrations NEW BUILDS TYPES OF SUBSTRATE Cement based substrates: List of substrates Permitted surfaces are all the substrates described in the NF DTU 53.2 standard (April 2007) "Glue-down vinyl floor coverings", including heated floors in accordance with NF DTU 65.14 (Parts 1, 2 and 3) and NF P 52-302 (DTU 65.7) and CSTB Specification 3606_V3 February 2013; not including reversible heated floors (CSTB Specification 3164, October 1999). Substrate requirements The quality of the finished floor depends on the quality of the substrate, insofar as major irregularities (roughness, unevenness, etc.) will show through the covering. Therefore, the substrate must conform to the specifications of French code of practice DTU 53-2 relating to: Evenness Surface finish Properties and cohesion Roughness Porosity Dryness Provisions concerning the risk of rising damp Ground slabs must be cast on a damp-proof membrane in accordance with the requirements of the relevant section of the NF P 11-213 (DTU 13.3) standard. Otherwise, an interposing system to protect against rising damp must be created in accordance with NF DTU 53.2, excluding any interposing underlayer. In the event of a risk of accidental and transient hydrostatic pressure from the ground water, damp-proof membrane must be laid between the bedding and the ground slab in accordance with NF P 11-221 (DTU 14.1). Crack treatment The floor covering can be laid on substrates with cracks less than 1 mm wide, provided that the difference in level is not more than 1 mm. Refer to NF DTU 53.2 for details on how to treat cracks and uneven spots greater than 1 mm. Treatment of substrate joints Refer to Section 6.3.6 of NF DTU 53.2. Construction joints will have previously been treated. Self-levelling A self-levelling compound rated for heavy traffic areas (if self-necessary) will be applied to the screeds and slabs. Self-levelling compound is not needed for smooth self-concrete surfaces, provided that they satisfy flatness tolerances. In case of calcium sulphate-based screeds, refer to the relevant agrément certificate. Wooden panels substrates (tongue-and-groove boards): Refer to the NF DTU 51.3 standard (P 63-203-1-1) - wooden panels or particle board floors. They must present the above-mentioned characteristics, such as defined in the NF DTU 53.2 standard. No treatment is required where differences in level are less than 1 mm and/or gaps between boards are less than 2 mm; a general timber primer is required to keep the surface dust-free. 9

TYPES OF SUBSTRATE REFURBISHMENTS 10 The following substrates are allowed: Uncovered or stripped concrete or cement screed substrate Uncovered or stripped wooden panels or particle board substrate Old ceramics tiles Old in-situ floor finish (resin) at least 2 mm thick Old floor paint Old compact resilient floor covering (semi-flexible tiles, asbestos vinyl tiles, vinyl flooring and linoleum) In case of a refurbishment, the covering can only be laid on a substrate that has previously received a single layer of covering. The rating of the old floor covering must satisfy the new rating required, particularly if the room is to be used for a different purpose. The maximum tolerance in terms of flatness and evenness of the substrate is a 5 mm deflection under a 2m ruler (measured by moving the ruler in all directions across the substrate) and 1 mm under a 20cm ruler. In case of a covered or uncovered ground slab or concrete floor cast in a structural floor tray, a preliminary investigation will determine whether or not there is an interposing system or membrane to protect against rising damp. If in doubt or if the investigation shows that there is no such structure, protection against rising damp must be implemented after removing the old covering if applicable. The applicable general provisions are as stated in CSTB Specification 3635_V2: "skimming of interior floors in preparation for floor coverings - refurbishment", which are specified or modified as follows. On an old uncovered or stripped wooden panels or particle board substrate (wooden panels planks or tongue-and-groove boards): after removing the old flexible floor covering and any lines of adhesive or on an old floor, the substrate must be made good by applying a fibre-reinforced self-levelling compound suited to the intended purpose, such as stipulated in CSTB Specification 3635_V2, for example TEC 967 by H. B. FULLER, with a high traffic rating. Another solution for levelling or repairing any defects in the substrate is to line the floor with boards in accordance with code of practice DTU 51.3, and the floor covering can then be laid directly on the boards. Old uncovered or stripped hydraulic substrate: after removing the old flexible floor covering and any lines of adhesive, repair or skim the substrate with a selflevelling compound featuring a valid CSTB CERTIFIED certificate for the intended purpose and rated at least for heavy traffic areas, such as indicated in CSTB Specification 3635-V2. Old ceramics tiles: as described in CSTB Specification 3635, on a concrete or cement screed substrate in sound condition, presenting good adherence to the bedding screed (sealed ceramics tiles) or substrate (adhesive-bonded ceramics tiles). No treatment is required where differences in level are less than 1 mm and/or seams width is less than 4 mm. In case of a difference in level between 1 mm and 2 mm between tiles (and seams width less than 4 mm), apply self-levelling compound locally, such as TEC 900 DSP by H. B. Fuller or Uzin NC 405, followed by sanding and dust removal using a mechanical dust extraction system. Apply a general heavy duty-rated self-levelling compound suited for the room's intended purpose, such as stipulated in CSTB Specification 3635-V2, across the entire surface area in case of a difference in level greater than 2 mm or where seams are wider than 4 mm. Existing in-situ resin floor finish: the old covering must be adherent and at least 2 mm thick. If flatness, cleanliness and cohesion requirements are not satisfied, the old in-situ floor finish is removed and the substrate is skimmed according to the provisions of CSTB Specification 3635_V2. Floor paint The substrate is prepared as detailed in CSTB Specification 3635, with the exception of sanding, which is not necessary if the paint is sound. Old flexible floor coverings: semi-flexible asbestosfree or compact vinyl tiles or compact linoleum: before installation, investigate the condition of the substrate according to Part 2 / Chapter B of CSTB Specification 3635, especially in case of asbestos vinyl tiles. If an underfloor heating system has been installed, old flexible floor coverings must always be removed. Semi-flexible tiles containing asbestos: in case of semi-flexible asbestos tiles, simply comply with the requirements of the applicable regulations. As a precautionary measure, care must be taken to not cut into the old asbestos products (floor or wall) when cutting and trimming the new floor covering. Best practice is therefore to make all cuts with a hooked blade.

INSTALLATION Storage of materials: rolls must be stored for at least 48 hours in a ventilated room, protected from moisture and at a temperature of no less than 15 C. Installation conditions: the temperature during installation must also be no less than 15 C. Installation: you are advised to cut the required sections the day before installation to allow the product to settle. The substrate must be dust-free, cleaned of any dirt (vacuum, dry sweeping or damp sweeping, except for calcium sulphate-based screeds and timber) and then dried. Installation principle: loose-lay using single-sided adhesive tape where sheets join to keep the product in place while hot-welding (by placing single-sided adhesive strips at least 100 mm wide under joints and at door thresholds). The tape must be positioned so that both sheets cover the tape. For butt joints, position a strip of single-sided adhesive tape at the joint prior to welding. Door thresholds: in addition, for each doorway, a strip of single-sided adhesive tape must be placed at the joint between the sheets before being hot-welded or covered with an adhesive threshold bar. A screw-down threshold bar can be used if there is no underfloor heating system. Recommended fitting product: adhesive tape TYPE Single-sided 100 mm NAME Modul up tape ref. 792 Forbo Preparation and installation: place the floor covering in the room, so that it covers the entire surface and laps up slightly along the walls (+10 cm); if applicable, create the joint (taking account of the seam) using a single or double cut with the modul up single-sided adhesive tape, where the non-slip side (without the protective film) is facing the substrate. Smooth out the entire surface of the floor covering throughout the room to remove any trapped air and allow the product to settle; to join sheets, lift up the floor covering at the skirting board to reveal the adhesive tape and peel away the protective film while remaining as close as possible to the covering. Allow the edges to fall back down and gently smooth out with your hand. The protective film will gradually open the joint as you peel it away. Once completed, simply press down on the joint to improve adherence between the floor covering and the adhesive tape. Joints are hot-welded in accordance with standard practice. Trim off around the edges, but avoid cutting in too tightly (leave a gap of 1 mm). Skirting can be fitted for a more aesthetic finish. This treatment is suitable for dry and occasionally wet rooms. Installation on asbestos vinyl tiles: Note that applying a self-levelling compound and then a glue-down floor covering on top of asbestos tiles comes under Sub-Section 3 of French asbestos regulations, whereas laying a simple floor covering comes under Sub-Section 4. The modul up adhesive tape (single-sided), which is especially suited to refurbishments involving asbestos substrates, simplifies installation since the side in contact with the substrate features a non-slip surface. During a future refurbishment, the floor covering can be removed without any risk of tearing up or releasing asbestos fibres. Coving with a cove former: for constantly wet rooms or rooms requiring coving, proceed as indicated below (except for asbestos substrates). 1 2 3 Fix the cove former using PU M25 adhesive. Apply a strip of dry adhesive or apply PU M25 adhesive to the top of the cove former and 10 to 15 cm up the wall. Apply the floor covering to the glued area and allow the covering to lie free on the floor. In the event of an asbestos substrate, proceed as shown on page 13. 11

CLEANING / USE / MAINTENANCE First use The floor covering can be walked on immediately after it has been laid. The Sarlon trafic modul up floor covering is treated with the OVERCLEAN XL polyurethane surface treatment solution in the factory to make it easier to clean. The covering can be cleaned as follows: Daily cleaning Damp sweeping or vacuuming Cleaning depending on the level of footfall, such as once every two days: Manually using a neutral detergent and a microfibers mop Mechanically using a low speed rotary-scrubbing machine with a red pad and a neutral detergent Occasional cleaning In case of visible dirt: Damp sweeping or vacuuming Cleaning using a low speed rotary-scrubbing machine with a red pad and a stripper, and then wiping with a microfibers mop. When using cleaning products, refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Precautions concerning furniture When moving heavy furniture, lift carefully. In exceptional cases where moving the furniture creates a ripple, simply stop moving the furniture and put the floor covering back in place. Use appropriate protective pads to prevent the risk of furniture or objects with pointed legs or protruding edges from denting or damaging the floor covering. Repairs Due to the system's loose-lay design, localised areas can be renovated or repaired by removing the old sheets, which will return the substrate to the same condition as it was before the covering was initially fitted. 12

A SOLUTION FOR ALL... ASBESTOS PROBLEMS Check out our range of associated accessories on pages 16 and 17 Solution for creating coving on an asbestos substrate 1 2 3 4 Apply 10cm of the dry adhesive strips on the basement of the wall. Stick the modul up complete skirting on the dry adhesive strip. Solution for covering asbestos stairs Apply a dry adhesive strip (or PU M25 adhesive) over of the complete skirting. Stick first a strip of floorcovering over the complete skirting. Install the floorcovering sheet edge to edge to the floor strip and hot weld them together on the complete skirting horizontal part. 1 2 3 4 Stairs must be clean, dry and smooth. Apply special doublesided adhesive tape or a tackifier * on each tread and riser. Place a cove former in the internal corner of each tread. *Contact our technical department for our recommendations Apply a strip of Sarlon trafic modul up from the tread towards the riser. Smooth out any trapped air. Trim the floor covering at the edges. 5 6 Repeat the procedure for the rest of the stairs. Fit the screw-down nosing profiles. 13

FOUR STAGES BEFORE WORKING ON ASBESTOS Covering of asbestos floors: a reality with adhesive-free solutions! 1 2 3 4 Training I would like training on Sub-Section 4 of the asbestos regulations by contacting the Forbo training department: formation.sarlino@forbo.com Identification of the type of work I can carry out work under Sub-Section 4 on any asbestos substrate with fewer than 10% damaged tiles. Risk identification I can work without PPE (personal protective equipment), as long as I can prove that the dust level does not exceed five fibres/litre. Drafting of procedures I draft my standard operating procedure based on the template provided by Forbo and I follow the regulatory procedure for validation. The standard operating procedure provided by Forbo presents dust measurements taken on site that have proven to be less than five fibres/ litre (no fibres counted) No need to wear PPE * (personal protective equipment) Installation method ensuring unhindered access for periodic inspections TECHNICAL SUPPORT: Forbo Sarlino can provide companies with technical support upon request, especially when starting projects. Before fitting for the first time, the company's installation staff must be trained by Forbo Sarlino's technical department on how to fit and use the floor covering system. A personalised technical course certificate is issued to confirm attendance. Note: technical support cannot be provided for designing the structure, approving the substrates or checking the installation rules. *In accordance with the related procedure for operations requiring measurements of less than five fibres/litre. 14
