2 maintenanceKinetex is tough to wear out but easily cleaned. Regular vacuuming combined with interim low moistureencapsulation cleaning and hot water extraction in areas prone to heavy soiling is all that’s needed to keepKinetex looking new. Because its lightweight face construction retains less water, Kinetex dries 75 percentfaster than carpet, rendering it suitable for cleaning while occupied. While wet,it has a highly reduced slip-coefficient when compared to a wet hard surface —which offers a much safer area for walking and standing.Kinetex resists the most challenging staining agents, such as blood, urine,Betadine and hand sanitizers. Kinetex products feature a wear layer which isThe maintenance of Kinetexis simple and more costefficient compared to thatof hard-surface flooring.bleach resistant, allowing sanitizing and spot cleaning to be easily performedwithout affecting color. Kinetex can be cleaned using a hydrogen peroxide-based cleaning solution or a cleaningsolution such as Vital Oxide . Hydrogen peroxide and Vital Oxide are on the Environmental Protection Agency's listof disinfectants that meet its criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of Covid-19.1The maintenance of Kinetex is simple and more cost efficient compared to that of hard-surface flooring.There is no need for stripping, wear layer application or buffing — saving time and materials.1 All Kinetex styles can be cleaned with a hydrogen peroxide-based cleaningsolution or a cleaning solution such as Vital Oxide . Bleach solutions maybe used on certain Kinetex styles when using the recommended bleach/water solution in accordance with the J J Flooring maintenance guidelines.Please see the Kinetex maintenance instructions for full recommendationsconcerning schedules and cleaning supplies for preventative, daily andinterim maintenance.

4 healthHow do contaminants enter buildings? They are tracked in on footwear. Textiles, suchas Kinetex hold particles in place, sequestering them until they can be removed bycleaning. Once on the floor, contaminants can be redistributed into the breathingzone by foot traffic on hard surface flooring. Soft surface flooring in general preventsredistribution and have proven to inhibit redistribution.Kinetex easily surpasses California's 01350 requirements for low-VOC emissionsand substantially minimizes airborne particles by sequestering common allergens,irritants and contaminants.H OW S O F T S U R FAC E F LOO R I N G T R A P S A I R B O R N E PA RT I C U L AT E S6B R E AT H I N G Z O N E43210-inch radius of a person’snose and mouthHEIGHT IN FEET510. 0KINETEXH A R D S U R FAC ERUBBER/VINYL/CERAMICAirborne Allergens and Irritants Foot Traffic Dust Emissions Test(ESO Fine Test Dust 12103-1, A2)P U T A CO R K I N I T canteen with P RO P E L I I inserts12 2019 Matt Kocourek, All Rights ReservedK I N E T E X T E X T I L E C O M P O S I T E F LOO R I N GA13

4 healthIt takes a long time for disinfectants to kill a virus like COVID-19. Contaminantshave shown to live many hours longer on hard surfaces than they do on textiles.That's why it's important to use flooring that stays damp longer. Typical cleaningmethods for soft surfaces, like vacuuming and hot water extraction have beenproven to significantly remove contaminants. Soft surfaces have the addedadvantage of remaining damp far more than enough time for disinfectants to killcontaminants, where as a hard surface dries quickly.HARDS U R FAC E SKINETEX F LOO R I N 0RESIDUAL MOISTURE (GRAMS)8070605040302010012345678DRYING TIMEKinetex Flooring14910111213141516(HOURS)Hard SurfacesCarpet/Modular Carpet(above) S T R ATA feldsparE L I I insertsD O W NwithTO WPNRO Proute,sunsetK I N E T E X T E X T I L E C O M P O S I T E F LOO R I N G15

5 safetyKinetex’s unique construction creates one of the most slip resistant flooring surfaces evertested, wet or dry — reducing the potential for slip and fall injuries. It has been certified bythe National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) as a high traction surface. Its unique low profilealso has minimal rolling resistance, potentially reducing injuries from pushing and pulling.High Traction Surface CertificationRisks of slips, trips and falls can pose an immediate threat to people of all ages, andmost are avoidable with consideration to flooring selection based on the specific needs andrequirements of the building.
