Industrial mats usually fall into two broad use areas – Traction Control/Floor Protection mats and Anti-Fatigue mats.
Traction Control mats are engineered to provide safe footing with minimum movement in any environment. Typical applications include outside entrances, ramps and floor areas where contaminants such as oil, grease or water are common. For maximum safety, these mats should be designed for minimum slippage on any surface. In addition, the mat surface should be constructed with maximum traction properties. Another use of industrial mats is to protect the floor from contaminants such as food and liquids.
Anti-Fatigue mats are designed to provide a safe, productive surface for occupations that require long periods of standing. The best anti-fatigue mats are designed to comfortably support a person with a cushion that does not crush after months of use. To do this, an anti-fatigue mat should be resistant to environmental conditions that can contaminate and deteriorate the cushion in the mat.
Another benefit of higher performance industrial anti-fatigue mats is soil and debris trapping to help prevent or minimize cross contamination of soil from one department to another or to office environments.
