Your flooring system could be letting in 73% of contamination to your critical area! Independent tests carried out by GlaxoSmithKline prove that Dycem floor coverings and mats are more than three times more effective than disposable peel-off mats. Dycem prevents 99% of wheel and foot borne contamination entering the critical environment, compared to a mere 27% for peel-off mats; a huge difference by any standards. Often only one peel-off mat is used in the attempt to control contamination. This only allows one footstep of one foot to come into contact with the contamination-collecting surface. This is simply not enough. Dycem, on the other hand, allows at least three footsteps from both feet. Reducing the risk of contamination entering the critical area to < 1%. Particle shedding is a huge issue with peel-off mats. As you rip off a layer of a peel-off mat between 15-20% of the collected particulate can be redistributed into the atmosphere. Once at this level it is free to permeate into your critical environment unchecked. So not only are peel-off mats far less effective than Dycem, they also help spread up to 20% of the collected contamination back into the atmosphere. Making Dycem an integral part of your contamination control programme means totally effective, flexible and economic contamination control. [-]
Dycem contamination control zones are up to 99% effective at controlling foot and wheel borne contamination when used properly. On top of this they also attract and trap up to 60% of air-borne particulate if used below a work bench. Around 80% of total contamination in a cleanroom is foot or wheel borne. Dycem can effectively reduce this by 99%.
