Are you still using peel off‑mats to protect your controlled or sterile environment? Are they not working the way you’d like? Have you thought about a non-disposable option?
Many businesses are now choosing to switch to a longer term solution than peel off or tacky mats, not just because of the environmental implications.
Dycem Contamination Control floor mats service various companies in the Pharma, Biomedical, Nutritional, Packaging, Healthcare, Electronics, Optical sectors, as well as many more.
Contamination Control-Zoning and coverage are two factors for the flooring in many establishments that have cleanrooms or facilities requiring protection from contamination. Having clear visual communication technology that signals the difference in areas in changing rooms, entrances and hallways can help to encourage better practices, avoid human error and actively guide footfall to allow for the maximum possible decontamination of foot & wheel traffic.
This is not just vital in Pharmaceutical or Biomedical facilities. Even for food processing and packaging facilities there is a clear need to mark out areas where staff must pay additional attention to their hygiene.
Our floor mats fully customisable. Dycem can be customised to reflect not only the differences between zones through the use of colour but also with VCT to guide footfall, company logos/branding and custom edging to suit all needs.
The flexibility of Dycem products also extends to size. Because Dycem can be a fitted long term solution, or a customisable mat available in a number of sizes, there is a Dycem solution designed to meet the needs of your facility.
Do peel off or tacky mats effectively cover your entrance/exit points between controlled areas? Are you getting 3 full footsteps in order to remove the maximum amount of particles?
If the answer to all these are no, then Dycem is the solution you need.
The daily peeling of mats can make your standard operating procedures complicated and time consuming. Not only do daily peels require the attention of a member of staff, they must also be disposed of properly and safely. Dycem CleanZone and WorkZone floor mats are a washable flooring solution, which are easy to clean. Less waste to manage, better for the environment and less time consuming.
All of our products are protected by Biomaster; a silver ion technology that actively inhibits the growth of bacteria. Our custom made and washable systems can easily be built into your protocol, to simplify your SOPs and provide a complete and sustainable zonal concept. No more daily peels and complicated disposal procedures. With Dycem you have total control.

Working in the contamination control industry, we are used to working directly with Pharma companies, Healthcare companies, labs, controlled environments and drug processing facilities.
When ‘controlled environments’ are discussed, for most people a Hazmat suit and air looks will spring to mind; brightly lit facilities with strict SOPs and rigorous cleaning schedules to stop the pollution of sensitive products.
So it may come as a surprise to many that auto manufacture facilities can also be classed as controlled environments, and that the same SOPs that apply to clinical trials or drug processing are often applied to building and spraying cars.
There are two main contaminant factors at play in vehicle manufacture:
Firstly, particulate contamination – such as dust and debris reaching the spray painting area and areas where parts are prepared for painting.
When a consumer spends thousands of pounds on a brand new car, the finished result is expected to be perfect. Dust and particles getting into the paintwork may not only damage the aesthetics, but can also cause gaps in the paintwork which would eventually lead to water reaching the chassis/body underneath and rusting to take place. Great lengths are gone to by auto manufacture companies to make sure that these pollutants, which are often air bound or are bought in on the feet and wheels of employees/trolleys, can be removed from the environment in much the same way as a laboratory or other sterile zone. You can see an example of SAAB, a major player in the auto manufacture industry, using a floor level solution to reduce air borne contaminates here.
The second issue is electrostatic discharge, a problem that has been prevalent in the technology industry, as the development of electrical items has rendered them more prone to damage by electro-static. If you want to find out about ESD in detail, please check out our other blog post here, which is a comprehensive overview of ESD in electronics manufacturing.
Electrostatic can cause issues with car electronics in the same ways as for the manufacture of mobile phones, computers, radios and more. Check out our Continental case study here, and see how we have helped global brands to combat ESD.
