Forbo is firmly committed to sustainability, reducing emissions and using recyclable materials to create durable and functional products.
As a partner to architects, planners and industry, the company combines technology and design to create safe and modern interior solutions.

Colorex EC and Colorex SD

Colorex EC and Colorex SD are homogeneous vinyl floor coverings for areas with high requirements for electrostatic control. They have been specially developed for sensitive environments where the protection of electronic components and equipment is crucial.
Conductive components are permanently integrated into the material, ensuring the electrostatic properties throughout the product’s entire service life. The floor coverings are also robust, dimensionally stable and easy to maintain.
Colorex EC offers maximum conductivity, whilst Colorex SD is designed for controlled dissipation in defined EPA areas.

Colorex EC Plus

Colorex EC Plus combines the permanently conductive properties of Colorex EC with an innovative, loose-lay system (interlocking technology) . This makes the flooring particularly suitable for refurbishments, modernisation projects or projects carried out whilst operations continue. Individual tiles can be replaced as required without having to replace the entire floor. The system thus offers maximum flexibility whilst ensuring a high level of technical reliability and durability.

Colorex flooring

Forbo Flooring’s Colorex product range has been developed for areas where electrostatic control, durability and longevity are crucial. Depending on the requirements for conductivity, installation and flexibility, three variants are available: Colorex EC for maximum conductivity, Colorex SD for controlled static dissipation, and Colorex EC Plus as a flexible, loose-lay system solution.
Whilst EC and SD are permanently bonded and are particularly suitable for new builds or long-term installations, EC Plus offers clear advantages in refurbishment projects or where operations are ongoing. All variants are characterised by their homogeneous material structure and permanently integrated conductive properties..
To ensure correct installation, DPV offers a professional service that covers planning, installation and quality control. You can find more information on our installation service page.
