Natural Coco Mat Install Instructions CS National Accounts 4005 Royal Drive, Suite 100 | Kennesaw, GA 30144 888-424-6287 | www.c-sgroup.com Natural Coco Mat Install Instructions Characteristics Coir (coconut fiber) yarns are utilized in the manufacture of coco entrance mats and entrance floor coverings because of their excellent characteristic as pile material. It is a reasonably stiff fiber which makes it a good “scrub brush” for shoes, yet it is tough and resilient enough to resist wear or permanent “matting down” from heavy use. The deep pile construction traps and holds scrubbed off dirt particles in considerable volume under the walking surface. The trapped dirt cannot be picked up again by foot traffic as is the case of thin piled carpet type mats where the dirt is still on top, available for pickup by shoes. Coir is a highly absorbent natural fiber. It has extremely high rot resistance and will not rot when used as entrance mat material. It is one of the few materials used in entrance floor mats which have the advantageous characteristics of picking up and holding large volumes of moisture from shoes and not being damaged by these high moisture conditions. The main reason we recommend placing coco mats in a weather-protected area is to best utilize these important features. With all of these excellent characteristics there are some properties of coco mats, which should be taken into consideration when planning for certain installations. Moisture As stated in our advertising literature, coco mats do have an expansion factor under certain moisture conditions. In some cases significant moisture may cause minor bubbling of the surface. Under ordinary conditions this would not be to an extent to cause a tripping hazard and this minor bubbling would disappear shortly upon drying out of the material. The material should be laid loosely on a smooth subfloor or base with adequate clearance around its perimeter. This allows it to expand under high moisture conditions without excess stress that would cause excessive buckling or bubbling of the surface. If this perimeter clearance factor is not taken into consideration some rising of the surface may occur. Under extreme moisture conditions (when the material is 100% saturated) the expansion factor is about 1/16” of expansion per 12” of mat length or width. Therefore a mat 12 feet long could conceivably have approximately 1” of expansion under totally saturated conditions. This situation could occur from being in an open area (not recommended) where the material is exposed to direct rains. Or it may occur from cleaning by using water combined with the cleaning agent and saturating the material. This expansion does not occur immediately upon saturation of the material but it may take several hours to reach ultimate expanded dimensions. When the coco mat dries thoroughly after having been expanded by thorough saturation of water it will return to nearly its original size. This shrinking would be approximately 90% return from the total amount it had expanded. If the mat is resaturated it will then again expand to the maximum dimensions to which it had originally expanded when soaked. This expansion and contraction factor should therefore be taken into consideration when doing custom installations; particularly in large areas where the possibility of heavy moisture conditions exist. All of the preceding, of course, is information based on extreme conditions which could cause material expansion as suggested, but in the majority of installations these conditions are rare or non-existent and there the installations are very much satisfactory. © Copyright 2019 Construction Specialties, Inc. 11.19 CS National Accounts 4005 Royal Drive, Suite 100 | Kennesaw, GA 30144 888-424-6287 | www.c-sgroup.com Natural Coco Mat Install Instructions Temperature Thermal expansion is minimal and it is normally not necessary to take this into consideration when fitting mats in recesses, etc. Extremely cold temperatures will reduce flexibility of the coco mat. If handling is necessary during sub-freezing temperatures it should be done with caution as extreme bending of the backing could cause cracking. Installation There are other factors regarding the installation procedures for the coco mats that should be taken into consideration. These factors are handled by the installers and are beyond the manufacturer control. These factors are: 1. Preparation During manufacture, the coco mat is rolled up under tension so as to eliminate roll telescope and resultant handling problems. This results in some stretching of the backing from its original manufactured “unstretched” size. Upon unrolling of the material some initial shrinkage may occur (similar to return of a stretched rubber band). This return or stabilization process, however, is not immediate but happens slowly and is somewhat dependent on the material temperature. The material should be unrolled, laid flat with face yarn down and allowed to stabilize at room temperature (approx. 70 degrees F or greater) for a period of 12 to 24 hours before cutting to size. 2. Seaming In large installations, where seaming is desired, it is often necessary that the seaming be done on the job site because of shipping and handling problems with the heavy material. We recommend using our own seaming method; utilizing thin vinyl tape and the “solvent system” for its application. However, many installers prefer their own methods that they are familiar with, such as used in carpet installations. These may include heat welding with special equipment, or the use of various other methods used to join carpeting. Some of these installations may prove satisfactory but again we have no control over these installation procedures and the results may vary with different installations. Improper seaming could conceivably cause bubbling problems. Also, scorching of the pile yarns is possible when heat welding causing the base of yarns to break out where extreme heat is applied to the backing. 3. Glue Down In regards to using an adhesive to “glue” the material down solid, we do not recommend or suggest that this be done because of problems with permanent adhesive bonds with vinyl. The nature of all flexible vinyl is to excrete oil like plasticizers from itself. This will, over a period of time, break the bonds between most adhesives and the vinyl. Additional pressures on the backing due to expansion by high moisture conditions and contraction when drying also tend to break these adhesive bonds and although many adhesive bonded installations may appear to be satisfactory when first installed, the long term results are in some cases not satisfactory. Many installations done with adhesives have proven to be satisfactory however, so we leave it up to the installers, with their experience and knowledge of various installation conditions and adhesives, to determine a suitable means of installations. © Copyright 2019 Construction Specialties, Inc. 11.19.

The field survey was conducted during the year 2010-2012 to access the present status of this unique plant based craft as well as the condition of the artisans involved in this craft making. Data were collected through interview with elderly artisans of the area of study. The result revealed that making artifacts from Bena is exclusively the hand work of female folk belonging to SC (Scheduled caste) and ST (Scheduled tribe) communities. Most of these artisans are either daily wage labourers or marginal farmers while making such craft is their secondary occupation. They collect the raw material, i.e. Bena stem from the nearby field, process it and make around two hundred varieties of attractive craft items both for traditional use in socio-religious rituals and as modern life style accessories. These artifacts are appreciated for their intricate design and glazing golden yellow colour. The existing conditions of this folk craft as well as the artisans were analysed.

  • Legendary Pioneers of Black Radio Gilbert A
    LEGENDARY PIONEERS OF BLACK RADIO GILBERT A. WILLIAMS After World War II, when thousands of African Americans left farms, plantations, and asouthern way of life to migrate north, African Amer- ican disc jockeys helped them make the transition to the urban life by playing familiar music and giving them tips on how to function in northern cities. These disc jockeys became cultural heroes and had a major role in the development of American broadcasting. This collec- tion of interviews documents the personalities of the pioneers of Black radio, as well as their per- sonal struggles and successes. The interviewees also define their roles in the civil rights movement and relate how their efforts have had an impact on how African Americans are portrayed over the air.

    Industry Leader in Vehicle Accessories Distributor Catalog What Matters to You ? Today, America needs fresh leadership to lead us as a nation out of this economic crisis. Leadership must come not only from our political leaders but also from the average citizen. The exporting of American jobs is a trend that must be stopped and reversed. When I walk into my local hardware store, I typically find 85% of the goods for sale are manufactured 7,000 miles away. To these ruthless buyers, it is all about the money. Rarely are product quality, the political system, human rights, animal rights and environmental costs to the planet considered, not to mention the cost to our society of exporting not only jobs, but an entire factory! At MacNeil Automotive, we are doing our part for the American economy and for our 300 million fellow citizens and neighbors. My philosophy is that if my neighbor doesn’t have a job, sooner or later I won’t have a job either. For example, we used to have our All-Weather Floor Mats manufactured in England by a company that used antiquated, inefficient equipment. They made a decent floor mat for us, but we thought we could build a better floor mat for our customers using modern American technology, American raw materials and skilled American workers. So in 2007 we transferred all of our floor mat manufacturing back to the United States. Today, we build the best fitting, highest quality automotive floor mats in the world, right here in America. Our machine shop is equipped with 26 CNC machining centers including four 4 axis mills and one 5 axis mill that produce between 30 to 50 injection and thermoforming molds per month.
