Not Just for Cleanrooms Anymore! For years, sticky mats have been a fixture at the entrances of laboratory and production facilities in pharmaceutical, medical, food processing and other technical environments. Now, other manufacturing and commercial facilities are discovering their value as a simple component of an overall facility maintenance program. Anywhere foot traffic transitions from a dirty to a clean environment, sticky mats deliver value. When placed at the entrance to offices from a factory floor, sticky mats will remove most of the dirt and grime that is carried in on the soles of shoes - often for less than 0.50 cents a day! Each sticky mat contains 30 layers per mat (4) mats per case of polyethylene film coated with a water soluble acrylic-based adhesive. When the top layer of the mat is soiled, peel it off for another clean layer. Mat adhesive does not contain benzoic acid. Strong, non-toxic adhesive coating.Uniform adhesion for each layer.Numbered corner pull-tabs indication number of remaining layers.Standardized and customized sizes and colors.Suitable for both cleanroom and general applications. CleanPro Tacky Mat Installation Prepare the Area Where the Mat Will Be Placed Select a hard, flat, dry, smooth, and clean surface. Mats should be room temperature before installing, as cold temperatures will affect the adhesive properties.Clean the placement area, removing any residue and dirt from the placement area. We recommend using 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and a heavy-duty low-lint wipe or cloth to remove any previously existing adhesive or grime. Test the Mat Placement Do not remove any film layers before testing the placement of the mat.Identify the top and bottom of the mat. The blue tab indicates the adhesive backing layer (face down). The top layer is blank with numbers in the corner (under the protective cover layer)(face up).Align the mat so the longest side is at a 90° angle to the door. This placement ensures three full steps for maximum dirt removal and prevents mat pull-ups.Make sure the mat does not interfere with any door openings or closings and ensure that the numbered pull tabs are easily accessible. Installing the Mat Do not remove the top layer (yet). Starting with the blue tab, peel off the backing to expose 2-3" of the adhesive.Adhere the edge with the exposed adhesive to the floor, taking care to avoid air bubbles.Once you've ensured the adhered edge is flat and straight, slowly press the rest of the mat to the floor, working from the front edge towards the back. Use your hand, or an empty cardboard tube to press and remove any air bubbles.One placed, ensure the mat is firmly affixed and smooth out any air bubbles. Removing the Top Layer Starting from the numbered corner, remove the top protective layer. Peel slowly with consistent tension.When the top layer becomes soiled, remove it to expose the next layer as needed.For soiled layers, peel sides and corners toward the center of the mat to prevent debris or grit from contacting clean surfaces. CleanPro Aluminum Tacky Mat Frame Improper Storage Leads to Damage Avoid damage and wasted product by always storing CleanPro Sticky Mats appropriately. Always store mats flat Store mats in temperature controlled environments Solving Common Tacky Mat Issues Proper Handling and Storage will Protect Your Mats & Increase Efficiency For added versatility, use a CleanPro Sticky Mat Frame. Sticky mat frames provide a moveable base for mounting adhesive floor mats without the limitations of mats secured directly to the floor. Some soft, porous, fibrous, dirty, or degraded surfaces will simply not support adhesion. Installing sticky mats on these types of surfaces may cause bubbles, pull-ups, and affect the adhesion between the mat and the floor.
