Discover how CC Matting’s contamination washable cleanroom mats stop 99% of foot-borne debris. Learn how an advanced polymeric mat meets ASTM E595 zero outgassing, ESD safety, and rigorous ISO standards
In high-risk environments such as pharmaceutical labs, semiconductor fabs, medical device manufacturing, and so forth, particles that are too small to see can grow into a big problem. A shoe sole or equipment wheel can account for up to 80% of the contamination found in cleanrooms. If you are still using conventional peel-off adhesive mats rather than advanced, contamination washable cleanroom mats, you are at risk of contamination transfer, compliance issues, and needless safety risks in critical areas.
Choosing the right floor barrier is not merely a matter of ticking a purchasing requirement. This is a major part of your contamination control in your facility. A high-quality, contamination washable cleanroom mat system like CC Matting is a long-term solution to help ensure product quality, support a safer work environment, and lower ongoing costs associated with contamination-related problems.
The Power of Polymeric Engineering
The traditional tacky mats don’t remain effective for long. A little foot traffic on the sticky surface is all it takes to pick up dirt and particles, reducing its ability to trap contaminants. Removal of the spent layer is to be performed frequently to restore performance. This results in inconsistent contamination control over time and adds to the plastic waste the facilities have to manage.
CC Matting changes the equation entirely through advanced polymeric mat engineering:
- Continuous Particle Retention: These mats utilise high surface energy and specialised molecular adhesion to trap 99% of viable and non-viable particles from feet and wheels. The material flexes slightly under load to ensure full surface contact with each step.
- 100% Renewable Surface: As a contamination washable cleanroom mat system, its performance never permanently deteriorates. Standard cleanroom mopping practices and approved sanitisers make it easy for maintenance teams to clean the mat. The washing breaks the temporary bond and releases the trapped particles, completely restoring the original molecular adhesion properties of the mat.
Uncompromising Compliance and Technical Accuracy
Cleanroom managers, lab directors, and facility engineers don’t see a certification; they see a product. CC Matting is manufactured to the highest international regulatory standards. Every mat is manufactured to strict ISO 9001 and ISO 45001-certified quality management systems. This gives you dependable industrial durability and predictable performance.
Our sophisticated material matrix is engineered to exceed world-class standards:
- Zero Outgassing Under ASTM E595: Critical for applications in the aerospace and semiconductor industries where the risk of airborne molecular contaminants can severely degrade precision electronics.
- Static Dissipative Properties: Static-dissipative properties help control electrostatic charges at entry points, reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and providing an added layer of protection for sensitive electronic components and equipment.
- BPR/EPA Compliant: Resists microbial & bacterial contamination and thus the development of potentially hazardous biofilms.
- CE Marked & REACH Compliant: Eliminates the need to review & approve the use of listed restricted materials, providing easy access into any global supply chain.
Maximum Safety without Compromise
A clean environment should not come at the cost of worker safety. Some floor mats can become slippery during routine washdowns and sanitisation and present a hazard. CC Matting has a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 57 and is designed for wet areas to provide slip resistance. This provides a safe base during cleaning operations, enabling safer movement and reducing the risk of slip-and-fall incidents.
Invest in Long-Term Value
The continual hassle of ordering, storing, reconfiguring, and discarding single-use mats is eliminated by switching from disposable adhesive mats to a reliable polymeric mat system from CC Matting. It’s easier to operate, produces less plastic waste, and is more eco-friendly for contamination control. Also, the systems capture particles at the entrance and limit the movement of debris that could otherwise interfere with delicate machinery and critical operations.
Contamination carried on footwear is one of the most common ways that particles enter controlled environments. Adding an engineered mat system to a facility’s contamination control strategy can help support cleaner operations, improve workplace safety, and meet its quality and regulatory requirements long-term.
