Rubber Tyre Stains on Ecotile Garage Flooring
Rubber tyres will stain almost every type of
flooring including raw concrete, painted and vinyl
surfaces. This applies equally to ecotiles, but
there are ways to minimise the risk.
The stain is a chemical reaction and will not
damage your tiles or affect their durability.
What causes the staining?
The stain is caused by a component used
within the manufacture or car tyres called '6PPD'
(phenaline diamine). 6PPD is an anti-oxidant and
is added to rubber products to resist environmental
attack by Ozone and Ultraviolet light.
It also has other beneficial effects in the molding
of rubber itself.
Since it adds to the cost of making tyres, manufacturers
usually only add it to the softer high performance
tyres.
The staining is dark grey / green in appearance
and will show within 4 to 5 hours of the tyre being
located on the tile. The stain can not be removed
as it is a chemical reaction between the 6PPD and
the surface with which it is in contact.
How to overcome
the issue:
Because the stain in a dark grey/green
it is far less obvious in the darker colours and
is almost indistinguishable from the colour of
our Dark Grey / Anthracite Tile. It is also less
obvious in the black and green colours.
Light grey, yellow, white, and red
should be avoided where tyres rest for extended
periods.
If you'd like to use lighter coloured tiles to
brighten up your garage, design the floor creatively
using dark colours where the car will be parked
and lighter colours elsewhere (see suggested
layouts at right).
A few tips:
Cover
the area under the vehicles with Black tiles
Place
strips of Black tiles where the tyres will rest;
Add
Black under the engine where oil may drip.
