TACKY MAT®

TACKY MAT®

Our most popular Tacky Mat®, the Tacky Mat® 800030 helps you minimize footbourne contamination  without costing you a fortune. Each mat consists of 30 disposable sheets that use strong adhesive coatings to remove dirt on contact.

HOW TO INSTALL CLEANROOM TACKY MAT®

Tacky Mat® installation involves the following steps:

SELECT PROPER LOCATION AND PLACEMENT

Place Tacky Mats® (sticky mats) at the entrances of both the cleanroom and the cleanroom gowning area. Ideally, these mats should permit workers to take two to three steps through them before entering the cleanroom. This allows the mat to fully remove dirt and debris.

IDENTIFY AND CONSIDER YOUR SURFACE

Tacky Mats® adhere best to smooth, nonporous, and moisture-free surfaces. This makes smooth vinyl flooring and tile as well as smooth epoxy-finished floors the most ideal choice for Tacky Mat® installation.

PREPARE YOUR SURFACE

Make sure you install your Tacky Mat® on a clean surface. After clearing the installation area of all residue, film, dirt, and debris, allow adequate time for the surface to fully dry before laying down the mat.

MAT INSTALLATION

Start by placing two corners of the mat on the prepared surface. Make sure you slightly bend the mat up from the opposite end while keeping the remaining part of the mat fully touching the surface. Then, slowly and firmly press the mat to the floor, working widthwise from the two corners across the entire mat. After this, apply weight to the mat to ensure uniform distribution of the bottom adhesive.

TIPS ON USING TACKY MATS®

  • Best places for Tacky Mats®. To ensure cleanroom cleanliness, consider placing Tacky Mats® in front of cleanroom entrances and inside the cleanroom at gowning and staging areas.
  • Ensure Maximum Length of Tacky Mats®. The Tacky Mat® should be long enough so that a worker has to take a full 2-3 steps across. This length ensures that the mat has removed more debris from both shoes.
  • Reposition Tacky Mat® Vertically. If the Tacky Mat® is the size of a welcome mat due to space limitations, reposition the mat so that it is vertical to the door instead of horizontal. This position provides more walking room for the Tacky Mat® to pick up as many contaminants as possible from footwear.
  • Changing Disposable Sheets. Change out dirty disposable sheets when the older layer becomes too full of contaminants to properly clean footwear. The timeframe may be around 50 walkthroughs, although you may change it sooner based on the number of contaminants in the working environment, the number of workers treading across the Tacky Mats®, and if rolled carts come in contact with the mats that could pull off the adhesive coating.
