Material Health Statements (MHS)

This high level of transparency enables architects, designers, and facility managers to make well-informed, responsible material selections, with complete visibility into potential risks.
Certified Products: Omnisports & Linosport
Biocide-Free
Many floors are treated with biocides to kill bacteria, which often means unnecessary exposure to harsh chemicals. We believe clean surfaces shouldn’t come with harmful agents, so our floors stay hygienic without using biocides.
Certified Products: Omnisports & Linosport
Phthalate-Free
Phthalates are chemical plasticizers traditionally used to enhance the flexibility and durability of vinyl flooring. However, extensive research has established a clear association between certain phthalates and significant health concerns, including endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and developmental effects in children. Consequently, Tarkett has removed phthalates from our product formulations to safeguard occupants’ health.
Certified Products: Omnisports & Linosport
Extremely Low VOCs
We design our floors to release minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs), consistently staying far below global safety standards. Clean indoor air is essential for health and comfort, so our low-emission flooring helps create safer, healthier spaces where people can perform and thrive.
Certified Products: Omnisports & Linosport
