FAQs
How often should the top layer be removed?
The top layer should be removed once it becomes visibly soiled or loses its tackiness. In high-traffic areas, this may be multiple times per day. Regular removal ensures consistent contamination control by exposing a fresh adhesive surface that continues capturing particulate from footwear and equipment wheels.
Does this mat require a frame for installation?
No, the mat features a full surface adhesive backing that secures directly to the floor, eliminating the need for a separate frame. This design simplifies installation and helps keep the mat flat and stable, reducing movement as personnel and carts pass over it.
Can the mat be used with rolling carts and equipment?
Yes, the medium tack adhesive is designed to remove contamination from both boots and rolling equipment, such as carts and casters. The durable polyethylene layers withstand repeated traffic while effectively capturing dirt and particles before they enter controlled areas.
Will the adhesive damage finished floors?
The bottom adhesive layer is designed to hold the mat securely in place during use while allowing removal when needed. When applied and removed properly, it is intended to minimize residue on most standard flooring surfaces used in cleanrooms and controlled environments.
Where should tacky mats be placed for best performance?
For optimal contamination control, mats should be placed directly at cleanroom entry points or transition areas where foot traffic and wheeled equipment move from uncontrolled to controlled spaces. Proper placement ensures contaminants are captured before they enter sensitive environments.
