Definitions
- the invention relates to an elastic floor covering element, in particular a
- Fall protection element comprising a rubber granulate and a binding agent.
- Resilient floor covering elements are used for a variety of tasks, for example as fall protection covering.
- Such fall protection elements can form elastic lawn grids or elastic floor coverings, as they are, for example, in the EP
- Thermoplastic elastomers are known from EP 2 203 515 B1, which have a flame-retardant effect due to additives and can thus be used as a seal in areas sensitive to fire protection.
- the halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer compound disclosed there comprises a styrene-containing thermoplastic elastomer, a flame retardant containing ammonium polyphosphate, plasticizers, a secondary polymer in the form of polypropylene and expandable graphite.
- EP 2669 324 A1 shows the production of building articles that form an insulating layer for preventive fire protection, such as seals or sleeves, based on a PP elastomer.
- an insulating layer for preventive fire protection such as seals or sleeves
- at least one propellant and one flame retardant are embedded in the matrix material.
- the object of this patent application is to propose a flame-retardant floor covering element which is simple in construction and can be manufactured inexpensively with just a few process steps.
- This object is achieved by the floor covering element according to the invention with the features of claim 1.
- An essential basic idea of the invention is to mix a weight proportion of expandable graphite with the rubber granulate of the known elastic floor covering element before binding.
- the intumescent effect of expandable graphite makes it difficult for a flame front to migrate. It reduces the critical heat flow and smoke development. It also prevents burning material from dripping or falling off.
- the invention makes use of this effect of expandable graphite for the formation of a flame-retardant, elastic floor covering.
- the floor covering element is completely and preferably permeated with a constant proportion of expandable graphite.
- a separate flame-retardant coating of a surface of the floor covering element is not necessary.
- a further advantage of the floor covering elements according to the invention is that the floor covering composed of them does not have to be poured on site, but can be assembled from prefabricated floor covering elements in a known manner.
- the known manufacturing process can only be modified so that the rubber granulate and expandable graphite are mixed in the desired mixing ratio before or during wetting with the binder.
- the floor covering element consists of the rubber granulate, the expandable graphite and the binding agent.
- the composition of the floor covering element from just these three components is sufficient to achieve the desired flame-retardant effect.
- the expandable graphite advantageously has a weight fraction of less than 10% of the total weight of the elastic floor covering element. This mixing ratio ensures that the floor covering element according to EN 13501-1 for floor coverings meets the conditions of the classification B fl - s1 as heavy Flammable flooring of European class B fl and in terms of its
- the expandable graphite has a weight proportion of 5% to 6% of the total weight of the elastic floor covering element.
- a mixing ratio is sufficient to achieve the B fl - s1 standard for floor coverings in accordance with EN 13.5.2001-1.
- Such a mixing ratio is chosen when the most efficient possible use of the cost-driving component expandable graphite is sought.
- the rubber granulate is an EPDM rubber granulate and / or a recycling rubber granulate.
- the rubber granulate of the floor covering element is ethylene, propylene, diene, monomer (EPDM) rubber granulate and / or recycled rubber granulate, the elasticity characteristics that are important for fall protection are particularly easy to set.
- an EPDM rubber granulate has, on the one hand, the same color throughout the entire grain.
- the EPDM granulate does not discolor significantly even under strong and long-lasting solar radiation, whereby a floor covering element can be produced in a particularly preferred manner which allows a permanently constant color of the floor covering system according to the invention.
- a particular advantage of the recycling rubber granulate is that old rubber obtained, for example, by the shredding of motor vehicles, can be used for further use.
- the binder is preferably at least essentially a polyurethane (PU) with which the granulate particles and the expandable graphite are or are preferably completely coated.
- PU polyurethane
- a proportion by weight of PU in the total weight of the floor covering element that is suitable for preferably complete sheathing is 8% to 12%, in particular 10%.
- the elastic floor covering element is a fall protection element.
- Floor coverings in particular fall protection coverings, are known per se.
- the floor covering element according to the invention acts in an energy-absorbing manner with respect to a force acting perpendicularly on the surface of the covering, see above that a falling person - for example a child in a public or private children's playground - experiences comparatively low acceleration forces when hitting the flooring element. According to the falling
- the floor covering element according to the invention also has a
- the floor covering element is used as a soundproofing element such as, for example, from EP 2
