CHICAGO, IL - noraplan® astro is one of four colorful new product lines that was introduced by nora® rubber flooring to U.S. audiences at NeoCon World's Trade Fair 2004 in Chicago June 14-16.

noraplan® astro is the result of a comprehensive product development program that also produced more than 75 new colors across the entire nora® product offering. noraplan® astro is a high performance floor covering that features a striking design composed of three distinct color components in a smooth, non-glare finish. Available in both rolls and tiles, the flooring offers designers a choice of 16 colors and can be combined with other nora® products to create a coordinated design throughout a facility.

Extraordinary wear and slip resistance in compliance with ADA guidelines makes noraplan® astro the perfect choice for institutional, commercial, retail and light industrial applications.

Like all nora® products, noraplan® astro is PVC-free. The product is made of high quality rubber, mineral fillers and environmentally compatible color pigments. It offers excellent footfall sound absorption and outstanding fire protection properties. noraplan® astro also features the exclusive "nora® cleanguard®" manufacturing process, which eliminates the need for waxing or sealing and contributes to healthier indoor air and easy, inexpensive cleaning with lower maintenance costs.
