ANTINOX Temporary Protection Board
INTRODUCTION
ANTINOX® board is an extruded board made from polypropylene granules along with additional components corresponding to the particular application.
CERTIFICATION
Swiftec Global is certified to Quality Assurance Standard ISO9001 (Certificate 1205) and Environmental Standard ISO4001 (Certificate number 1205-EMS)
INSTALLATION
ANTINOX® board is very easily laid. When protecting floors ensure that all
surfaces are free of dirt and grit. Lay
ANTINOX® sheets down ensuring that they are LAID WITH THE PRINT SIDE UP.
ANTINOX® is easily cut to size and fitted around obstacles using a sharp
knife. Join the ANTINOX® with ANTINOX® STRONG (48mm wide).

- Doors 2.0m x 1.0m
- General Applications 2.4m x 1.2m
- DIY & Trade 1.2m x 0.6m
CHOICE OF BOARD THICKNESS/WEIGHT
As a general guide the thicker the boards are heavy duty and the thinner boards are lighter duty, as can be seen from the crush resistance chart further below. As a guide we can say that the static load of a solid wheel forklift truck 1000 KN/m2 so use the heavy duty 6mm board whereas the static load of a person is 20 KN/m2 so use the 2mm board. An intermediate board e.g. 3 or 4mm can be used for occasional heavy traffic or extremely high value applications.

WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS
Due to the innumerable conditions on the renovation/building site ANTINOX® can
not be held responsible for any damage caused by its use and we always
recommend you use wisdom when considering which protection to use.
ANTINOX® must never be used where there is any hint of moisture present i.e.
New wood floors, new screeded floors, new marble floors etc and underfloor
heating has been known to create a sweating which should be avoided at all
costs. Any dampness/sweating which gets trapped between the ANTINOX® board and
the floor can cause discolouration cracking or cupping (wood floors). Never
lay print side down due to the danger of ink transfer on to the finished
surface. Swiftec Global Ltd offer a fully breathable/water resistant product
which can be used in these situations. Visit
