|
| Matting Icons: Icons denote certain characteristics associated with a specific mat. |
|
Anti-Slip
Matting designed to provide added traction and safety by incorporating aggressive surface patterns and textures. |
Ant-Static
Matting that is specially formulated to absorb static electricity. |
Custom
Matting that's available in custom sizes and / or lengths |
Drainage
An open construction design that allows moisture and debris to drain through, providing secure footing especially in wet environments. |
Ergonomic / Anti Fatigue
Matting that alleviates foot and lower back pressure, stimulating blood circulation that helps reduce stress on the lower back, leg joints and major muscle groups |
|
Food Processing
Matting suitable for the use in food processing plants or areas where exposure to animal fats, greases and oils are common. |
Food Service
Matting suitable for use in kitchens, bars and other food service areas where durability, grease resistance and drainage are a priority. |
Non-Conductive
Formulated to provide insulation for the workers. It prevents the worker from being "grounded" and thereby preventing electrical shock. |
Outdoor Use
Heavy-duty construction designed to act as a first line of defense against tracked in dirt by scraping soil and moisture from shoes. |
Welding
Mats made from durable rubber compounds that can be used in areas where welding takes place. |

Anti-Fatigue Properties
The cushioning qualities found in
NoTrax® matting that alleviates foot and lower back pressure,
while stimulating blood circulation that helps to reduce stress
on the lower back, leg joints and major muscle groups.
|
Chemical Resistance
The degree to which NoTrax®
industrial matting products can withstand the erosive qualities
of chemicals, oils, and greases found in applicable
environments.
|
Decalon®
This NoTrax® exclusive fiber is made
with a much higher denier polypropylene yarn. Products that are
manufactured with Decalon® offer superb wear resistance,
exceptional moisture retention and crisp, clean pattern
appearance in coordinating colors.
|
|
Denier
Denier is defined as the thickness
of the yarn strand. Combined with the face weight (ounces of
yarn per square yard), and the density or volume of yarn
strands, it is a critical factor in the performance, quality and
durability of an entrance mat. NoTrax® competitors define their
quality in terms of face weight only.
|
Dyna-Shield®
A revolutionary process perfected by
Superior Manufacturing Group that creates a tough protective
barrier on the surface of select foam anti-fatigue matting
products. Dyna-Shield® mats have greater tensile strength, and
are more resistant to wear than traditional sponge matting.
|
GSII
A technology that is incorporated
into select NoTrax® industrial floor matting products allowing
them to excel in the harshest industrial environments where
aggressive chemicals, oils and greases are commonly found, and
often times where traditional matting fails.
|
|
Needle punch
A traditional manufacturing process
for carpet matting, needle punch is engineered with a unique
blend of four denier thicknesses of yarn ranging from very fine
to very thick. Needle punch products are typically more durable,
offering better crush resistance and wear ability due to the
density of the yarn used in the process.
|
Nitrile Rubber
A rubber compound specifically
engineered for use in the harshest environments due to its
increased resistance to many chemicals, oils, greases, and
animal fats. Nitrile rubber also provides increased gas
permeability, thermal stability, and abrasion resistance. Niru®
is the NoTrax® trademarked name for Nitrile rubber compound.
|
PVC Compounds
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a
plastic compound used to manufacture a variety of end products.
PVC is known for its durability, moisture resistance,
versatility and its ability to withstand harsh environments.
|
|
Tufted
A manufacturing process used for
carpet matting, tufted products are sewn into a backing after
using a finer yarn. Tufted mats generally are less dense and
offer better moisture retention. Tufted products also have more
flexibility with colors and patterns providing a more aesthetic
finished product.
|
UniFusion™
A revolutionary bonding process that
uses heat and pressure to fuse a floor matting top surface to a
base material. The end result is a finished product that is
virtually a single piece, thereby eliminating the possibility of
de-lamination.
