[Nhcoll-l] Antw: Pvc or linoleum

[Dirk Neumann]

Dear Lennart,

second Joachim, also to reduce potential fire loads (under the scenario 
of an ethanol spillage o the floor that get for what ever reason 
ignited). Linoleum might soak up the ethanol, PVC (even if mixed up with 
fire protective compounds) might burn at some point if it gets hot 
enough and starts to release (flammable) gases. The flooring should also 
avoid any potential electrostatic loading ...

Hope this helps
Dirk
