B. Installation connectors Compounded acrylic adhesive, applied to PET polyester – backing with PET polyester release liner (clear 3” x 3” polyester squares with small quantity of a pressure sensitive adhesive applied on one side of the polyester film). The squares connect the carpet modules together to form a stable surface over almost any hard surface. The connectors shall contain no liquid components and shall have calculated VOC’s. “zero” C. Carpet edge guard, non-metallic Extruded or molded heavy duty vinyl or rubber – carpet edge guard of size and profile indicated, and with minimum two inch wide anchorage flange; colors selected by architect/designer from among standard colors available within the industry. D. Miscellaneous materials As recommended by manufacturer of carpet. Other – carpeting products to be selected by installation provider to meet project requirements. E. Electrostatic (Dissipation low-generation) 1. Surface Resistivity Across face of carpet (< 2.0 x 109 and >1.5 x 105) or – (0.15 to 2000 megaohms) 2. Transverse or Volume Resistivity Through face of carpet (<2.0 x 1010 – and > 1.5 x 105 ohms) or (0.15 to 2000 megaohms) PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 Pre-Installation Requirements A. All existing carpet and existing carpet waste must be reused or recycled in an friendly” manner. A reclamation plan must be submitted that “environmentally will provide directions for the reclamation of all carpet at the jobsite. friendly” carpet recycling methods also should be performed “Environmentally subsequent to job completion. As used herein, friendly” methods “environmentally consists of: 1. Repurposing reusing the product in another application such as – facilitating the donation of used carpeting to charities and nonprofit organizations. 2. Recycling turning waste materials into new materials of the same value, – such as vinyl backing into vinyl backing and nylon yarn into nylon carpet yarn. 3. Upcycling turning waste materials into more valuable products. For – example, using PET (plastic from soda bottles) to create panel fabric. 4. Down cycling creating less valuable products from waste materials. For – example, turning nylon face fiber into car parts or carpet padding, including nylon face fiber in recycled backings, or using carpet for utilizing the most efficient burning system possible.(In the case of down cycling, manufacturer must justify down cycling process)
