1 YOUR PROCESSES ON SAFE FLOORING nora systems 1

2 2 nora systems Safety for your processes from the ground up Cleanroom suitability nora flooring systems were tested by Fraunhofer IPA, which certified their eligibility for GMP A as well as under ISO to Class 2. With their high resistance to biological contamination, chemicals and disinfectants, nora flooring is the ideal solution for cleanrooms. Cleanliness suitability In the context of suitability in the different application areas, we guide and support you with personalised consulting tailored to your project: The application relevant parameters of the process environment are coordinated with your project. The assessment of the influence of different process media and the disinfectants used complete the nora service offer. All-round safety with nora flooring systems Application Permanent elasticity to protect against falling objects Ergonomic for high walking and standing comfort Resistant even at high loads Discharge capability / ESD protection with 10 years warranty Hygiene: Easily disinfected Hygienic solutions for frames, pipes, drains Homogeneous and free of coating Maintenance: Quick refurbishment of stressed surfaces, depending on the process, even when operational (<1 day possible) Conversion of small areas to different processes possible Floor structure in the system: nora system blue Made in Germany Advantages: Extremely robust and impact resistant surface Modular installation allows maintenance even when operational Natural rubber as a homogeneous material makes extra coating redundant nora floorings are tested for media compatibility

3 Flexible solutions for a smooth operation nora systems 3 Your processes have changed? The container foot is no longer required? Would you like to refurbish highly stressed areas during operation? nora flooring system gives you flexible solutions. Adaptation to changed processes Changes or expansions to the production process usually also entail structural changes. Thanks to the modular installation possibility of nora floorings, surfaces can easily be adapted to the new processes. Refurbishment of surfaces Highly stressed surfaces can be refurbished without the effort of switching out the entire flooring. Hygienic connections of installations nora floorings can be applied in various ways to vertical installations or recesses. A variety of configurations are available for connections to frames, pipes, drains or other installations.

4 4 nora systems Comfort and safety for your employees A safe, comfortable work environment contributes significantly to the health and satisfaction of your employees. nora flooring systems made of natural rubber create a positive working environment through their compatibility, permanent elasticity and a large range of colours. Highest ergonomic comfort The permanently elastic material natural rubber offers high walking and standing comfort, making it easier on the back and joints. The body thus suffers much less fatigue than on hard floors even after prolonged standing. Low emissions for good indoor air nora floorings contain no plasticisers (phthalates) or halogens, which helps them contribute to healthy indoor air. This has been recognised with the award of the eco-label The Blue Angel (RAL-UZ 120 or 113) as well as all other major international environmental certificates.

5 Guaranteed system safety with nora system blue nora systems 5 This coordinated, sustainably oriented and certified total system combines low-emission nora natural rubber floors with low-emission nora flooring installation materials. In addition, selected technicians are specially trained for nora system blue. Because each individual system component guarantees the highest level of safety, the entirety of the system has also been certified by TÜV Rheinland. nora systems extends the warranty for nora system blue to seven years. All system components have been tested in combination and are awarded with the eco-label The Blue Angel (RAL-UZ 120 or 113). The system configuration: Primer 2 Levelling compound 3 Adhesive 4 norament Further information can be found in our nora system blue brochure and on
