Essential Features of Cleanroom Floor Mats

A Guide to Cleanroom Mats

Cleanrooms are commonly used in a variety of laboratories and medical facilities to conduct scientific research. Mats designed for cleanrooms or medical facilities can provide a comfortable working platform for personnel, prevent injuries related to slips and falls, and help minimize cross-contamination or patient-to-patient infection.

NoTrax is the industry leader in workplace mats for industrial, commercial, and public facilities. To help you find the antimicrobial cleanroom mat that is right for your facility, here is a look at some of the key features of cleanroom mats, as well as an overview of the mats from NoTrax that are ideal for use in these environments.

Antimicrobial. Mats intended for use in cleanroom environments or in other sterile working contexts, such as medical research facilities or hospitals, are designed to help prevent cross-contamination. Mats with antimicrobial properties often utilize an agent that is incorporated into the construction of the mat to prevent the growth of most bacteria and pathogens.

Mats with an antimicrobial design are essential for environments where dangerous pathogens or contaminants are present. Additionally, antimicrobial mats can help reduce patient-to-patient and healthcare worker-to-patient infections in hospitals. Because the antimicrobial agents used to manufacture cleanroom mats from NoTrax are typically embedded into the mats themselves, antimicrobial mats won’t lose their antimicrobial properties over time or after prolonged use.

Chemically Resistant Construction. Many antimicrobial mats or mats intended for use in cleanrooms from NoTrax feature a durable, chemically resistant construction that makes them well suited to these environments. The harsh chemicals or autoclaves used to sterilize medical or research facilities can wear out mats over time. Many cleanroom mats and antimicrobial mats from NoTrax are designed to resist these cleaning agents and ensure longevity.

The Rubber Autoclavable Bubble Antimicrobial Floor Mat 448 from NoTrax features a durable construction that is highly resistant to harsh cleaning chemicals or autoclaves used to sterilize medical or research environments. The bubble design is intended to provide a comfortable working platform for personnel who are required to stand for long periods of time.

The antimicrobial formula used to manufacture these mats resists most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The rubber surface of the Bubble Mat makes it easy to wipe clean, and the molded beveled edges will help to eliminate tripping hazards.  

The Adhesive Peel Off Surface Tacky Mat Clean-Step™ 080 is designed to help reduce patient-to-patient or healthcare worker-to-patient cross-contamination. The peel-away sheets will help provide a clean surface, and the numbered tabs make the sheets easy to keep track of.

The adhesive surface of the Tacky Mat enables it to grab dirt and debris from the bottoms of shoes, and the antimicrobial properties used to manufacture these mats make them ideal for sterile environments. The sticky mat can be placed at the entrances and exits of a cleanroom to help maintain sanitation.

Because cleanrooms are highly specialized working environments, it’s important to utilize mats that are specifically designed for these areas. Disinfectant mats intended for use in cleanrooms from NoTrax are ideal for use at the entrances and exits of sterile areas.
