This research aims to develop the natural rubber and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) plastic floor tile with flame resistance property. The 6 ratios of natural-rubber STR 20: zinc oxide: stearic acid: sulfur: mercaptobenzothiazole: diphenyl guanidine: EVA plastic: antimony trioxide were equal to 100: 5: 2: 3: 0.5: 0.2: 20: 0 100: 5: 2: 3: 0.5: 0.2: 20: 20 100: 5: 2: 3: 0.5: 0.2: 20: 40 100: 5: 2: 3: 0.5: 0.2: 20: 60 100: 5: 2: 3: 0.5: 0.2: 20: 80 and 100: 5: 2: 3: 0.5: 0.2: 20: 100 by weight or phr. The samples are ground by two-roll mill and formed by compression molding at 150 degree Celsius with 30x30x0.2 cm of dimension for 4: 29 to 5: 19 minutes. The properties of the natural-rubber floor tiles were tested under ASTM standard. From the results it was found that the natural rubber and ethylene vinyl acetate plastic floor tile with flame resistance property was the suitable ratio for using as the rubber floor tiles in building and extinguished a fire by themselves. The antimony trioxide effected to increase the density hardness and thermal conductivity and decrease the tensile strength tear strength and wear resistance properties of the natural rubber and EVA plastic floor tiles

This research aims to develop the natural-rubber floor tiles mixed with high fineness ethylene vinyl acetate plastic wastes (EVA plastics) from the factories. The study use natural-rubber STR 20 at 100 phr with various contents of EVA plastics (e.g. 0 5 10 20 40 and 80 phr) and then mixed with chemical substance at constant ratio include zinc oxide at 5 phr stearic acid at 2 phr mercaptobenzothiazole at 0.5 phr diphenyl guanidine at 0.2 phr and sulfur at 3 phr. The samples are ground by two-roll mill and formed by compression molding at 150 degree Celsius with 30x30x0.2 cm of dimension. The properties of the natural-rubber floor tiles are tested under ASTM standard. From the results it is found that the natural-rubber floor tiles mixed with 10 phr of EVA plastics is the suitable ratio for using as the rubber floor tiles in building. This ratio can increase the hardness tensile strength and wear resistant properties and decrease the density and thermal insulation properties when compare to the natural-rubber floor tiles without EVA plastic.

This research aims to develop the Para-rubber floor tiles mixed with ethylene vinyl acetate plastic wastes (EVA plastics) from the factories. The study use Para-rubber STR 20 at 100 phr with various contents of EVA plastics (e.g. 0 5 10 20 40 and 80 phr) and then mixed with chemical substance at constant ratio include zinc oxide at 5 phr stearic acid at 2 phr sulfur at 3 phr mercaptobenzothiazole at 0.5 phr and diphenyl guanidine at 0.2 phr. The samples are ground by two-roll mill and formed by compression molding at 150 degree Celsius with 30x30x0.2 cm of dimension. The properties of the Para-rubber floor tiles are tested under ASTM standard. From the results it is found that the Para-rubber floor tiles mixed with 10 phr of EVA plastics is the suitable ratio for using as the rubber floor tiles and rubber wall tiles in building. This ratio can increase the hardness and wear resistant properties and decrease the density and thermal insulation properties when compare to the Para-rubber floor tiles without EVA plastic.

This research was aimed to study the compressive strength and the abrasion resistance of Terrazzo floor which used glass cullet as aggregate. The mix proportion of Terrazzo was 1 : 2.5 (white cement : chipped stone) by weight. The weight percentages of replacement of chipped stone by glass cullet were 0 10 25 50 75 and 100% by weight of aggregate. The compressive strength and abrasion resistance of Terrazzo specimens were measured at 7 14 and 28 days. The results indicated that the compressive strength of mixtures with glass cullet of 0 10 25 50 75 and 100% were 581.11 540.81 534.83 480.94 435.42 and 343.71 kg/cm2 respectively. It showed that the compressive strength decreased with the increase of glass cullet content. The abrasion test of Terrazzo specimens showed that at low glass cullet content (10-50%) the abrasion resistance increased with the increase of glass cullet content. The mixtures with glass cullet of 75 and 100% have abrasion resistance nearly the same as the mixture without glass cullet
