Cloth binding mats

The use of dust-binding mats at entrances and sluices to critical areas minimizes the entry of dirt, dust, and particles caused by employees, visitors, and transport equipment. The adhesive surface of the dust-binding mat absorbs dirt from shoe soles and cart wheels and does not release it again. Depending on the application, different types of dust-binding mats are used. One option is the use of adhesive foil mats, which consist of 30 layers of fine, thin polyethylene films, forming a mat only 2mm thick. Each of the films is coated with an adhesive that captures solid particles from shoe soles and transport vehicles upon contact. When the adhesive strength decreases, the top film is peeled off and a new one is placed on top. The antibacterial adhesive foil mat works on the same principle. The films are coated with a high-performance adhesive that additionally contains an germicidal substance. The adhesive captures solid particles upon contact and reliably kills germs. New in the program are frames for adhesive foil mats. These allow flexible use of the mats at different locations. Using a frame also enables application on substrates (e.g., carpets) where this would otherwise not be possible. The frames are optionally available made of anodized aluminum or rubber. The third variant is a permanently adhesive dust-binding mat. When the adhesive strength diminishes, the mat can simply be cleaned with a damp sponge. After drying, the adhesive effect is restored. For faster drying, the mat can be peeled off with a rubber scraper. The permanent adhesive mat can also be treated with common disinfectants. All three types of dust-binding mats make dirt accumulation visible and are thus excellent control tools.
