How does anti-staic calcium sulfate raised access floor provide superior fire resistance and environmental performance?
Publish Time: 2026-02-05
In locations with extremely high safety and environmental requirements, such as data centers, communication equipment rooms, and clean laboratories, raised floors are not only the infrastructure for cable management but also a crucial barrier to ensure stable equipment operation and personnel health. Anti-staic calcium sulfate raised access floor, with its unique structure using 100% environmentally friendly natural gypsum powder as its core material, demonstrates significant advantages in fire safety and eco-friendliness. It not only meets the stringent Class A non-combustible standard but also reduces carbon footprint and the release of harmful substances from the source, making it an ideal choice for modern green and intelligent buildings.
1. Natural Gypsum Core Material: Intrinsically Non-combustible, Constructing a Class A Fire Barrier
The core of calcium sulfate flooring is a high-density pressed anhydrous calcium sulfate core board. Its raw material is natural gypsum ore, which is calcined, dehydrated, and then ground, containing no organic binders or flammable components. 1. **Gypsum itself possesses extremely high thermal stability—its decomposition temperature exceeds 1200℃, and it releases water of crystallization when heated. This endothermic process effectively slows the spread of fire and lowers the ambient temperature.**
2. 100% Environmentally Friendly Raw Materials: Eliminating Harmful Substances at the Source
Unlike all-steel floors which require electroplating for rust prevention and wooden floors which rely on formaldehyde-based adhesives, calcium sulfate flooring uses 100% natural gypsum powder as its main material. No volatile organic compounds such as benzene, formaldehyde, or halogens are added during the production process.
3. Recyclable: Achieving a Closed-Loop Environmental Protection System Throughout the Life Cycle
Natural gypsum has excellent recyclability. Waste calcium sulfate flooring, after being crushed and calcined, can be regenerated into building gypsum powder, which can be used to manufacture new flooring or other building materials, forming a closed-loop cycle of "resource—product—recycled resource." In contrast, while all-steel floors can be recycled, they consume a lot of energy; composite floors, due to their multiple layers of adhesive, are difficult to separate and mostly end up in landfills. Calcium sulfate flooring, even after its lifespan, can slowly decompose into harmless minerals in the natural environment, causing no pollution to soil or water sources, truly embodying the "cradle-to-cradle" sustainability concept.
4. Synergistic Anti-static Function Without Sacrificing Environmental Qualities
It's worth noting that its anti-static performance does not rely on a conductive paint coating, but rather on a permanent conductive network embedded under the veneer and connected to the grounding system. This design ensures long-lasting and stable static dissipation while avoiding the introduction of additional chemical coatings, maintaining the purity and recyclability of the overall material. The surface is often covered with HPL, PVC, or ceramic veneers; environmentally friendly products can also be selected to further enhance the overall green attributes of the board.
Anti-staic calcium sulfate raised access flooring deeply integrates the two core values of "safety" and "green": using natural gypsum to create a Class A fireproof shield, using an additive-free formula to protect indoor air health, and using renewable properties to practice a circular economy. In today's era of accelerating "dual-carbon" goals and smart infrastructure development, it is not only a platform for carrying cables and equipment, but also a crucial cornerstone for buildings towards a low-carbon, healthy, and sustainable future. Choosing calcium sulfate flooring is choosing a long-term path that is responsible for life and for the planet.
