Functionality
On average, people spend 90% of their time
indoors. At Tarkett, we strive to contribute to
people’s health and wellbeing by improving
indoor air quality.
AirMaster® is 4 times more effective in
capturing and retaining fine dust than
standard carpet solutions
It is 8 times more effective than
smooth flooring solutions
How does it work?
> Very fine dust is captured and retained in the fine yarns of the DESSO AirFilters TM
> Coarser fine dust is captured in the thicker yarns of the DESSO DustCollectors TM
> The unique structure of DESSO AirMaster® prevents the dust from becoming airborne again.
DESSO AirMaster® is the first product in the world to be awarded the GUI Gold Plus label, the highest possible accreditation awarded by Gesellschaft für Umwelt- und Innenraumanalytik (GUI), Germany’s leading independent air quality testing organization.
Laboratory test
The GUI Gold label has been awarded based on
the average of 15 repeated tests. DESSO AirMaster®
proved to be up to 20 times more effective in capturing
and retaining fine dust than smooth flooring solutions.
Easy to clean
During vacuum cleaning, more than 80% of
the captured dust is released by DESSO AirMaster®,
which is a 16% improvement over standard carpets.
Understanding particulate matter
PM10
Particles with an aerodynamic diameter of up 10μm – these can cause health problems
because they are typically small enough to pass through the throat and enter the lungs.
PM25
Fine particles with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 μm – these can produce
harmful effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular system.
Eco-friendly
DESSO AirMaster® contains 100% regenerated ECONYL® nylon yarn,
made from recovered waste materials such as end-of-life carpet yarn
and discarded fishing nets.
DESSO EcoBase is 100% recyclable in our own production process
and contains a minimum of 75% recycled chalk from the local drinking
water industry.11 In 2015, the DESSO EcoBase backing achieved Cradle
to Cradle® Gold level certification and reached the Platinum level for Material Health.
