Critical environments, clean rooms, and controlled areas should be protected within manufacturing facilities to minimise the presence of viable and non-viable contamination during manufacturing. Disposable tacky mats and peel-off mats are often the go-to for floor-level contamination control. However, there are many reasons to suggest that these so-called solutions are causing more problems than they are solving.
Using single-use disposable items such as peel-off mats produce a huge amount of waste, going straight to landfill. This type of waste is also categorised as ‘contaminated waste’. Contaminated waste needs to be disposed of properly, or it may be harmful to the environment and this procedure can be very costly.
Here at Dycem, our main aim is to help keep your facilities free of contamination. So, here are a few tips to keep in mind when thinking about your contamination control solutions.
Studies in the late 1960’s – 1970’s demonstrated that redistribution of bacteria into the air from the floor accounted for up to 15% of all airborne bacteria (Hambraeus et al. 1978) and disinfection alone is short lived given the rapid rate of recontamination on vast surface such as the floor (Ayliffe, 1967).
Dycem flooring and mats are a proven solution to controlling contamination at floor level. They attract, collect, and retain up to 99.9% of particles from feet and wheels, as well as being long-lasting, antimicrobial, and washable.
