Compromised contamination control can threaten product quality, operational efficiency, safety, and profitability. Cleanroom contaminants originate from multiple sources, including personnel, facilities, and the atmosphere. However, the floor is frequently overlooked, but research shows up to 80% of contamination enters critical areas via the floor level.
Controlling floor-level contamination includes traditional methods like peel-off sticky mats and shoe covers, and more modern solutions like polymeric mats. However, traditional methods often fall short, compromising safety and quality while adding cost, labour, and waste disposal concerns. Modern solutions like polymeric mats offer a more effective and sustainable alternative.
Dycem’s reusable polymeric mats are proven to attract, capture, and retain up to 99.9% of contaminants from shoes and wheels. They are strategically placed to protect cleanrooms from floor-level contamination and offer added antimicrobial and static protection. Lasting over 3 years, Dycem mats are customisable in colour, edging, and size to suit any facility’s needs.
