NOTRAX INDUSTRIAL MATS HAVE THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS:
ANTI-FATIGUE MATTING
Long hours of standing (more than 4 hours a day) is the primary cause of physical tiredness. Everyone knows that the feeling of heavy legs,
backache, cervical problems, headache or pain in the feet after standing excessively is a common phenomenon.
NOTRAX FLOOR MATTING - Facts:
- 80% of the people who are working in a standing upright position suffer from problems with their legs and/or back. After headache, backache is the most common pain workers suffer.
- Companies loose enormous sums of money due to decreasing productivity, absenteeism (> 30% related to backache) and health insurance contributions.
An anti-fatigue mats are the best and simplest way to reduce or even avoid these problems. Research at the University of Michigan (USA) has proven that:
- Using an anti-fatigue mat during 8 hours reduces tiredness and increases standing comfort by 50% in comparison to a hard floor.
- The productivity level is more stable during the whole day.
- The level of absenteeism is reduced by one third.
NOTRAX FLOOR MATTING - ANTI-SLIP
20% of occupational accidents in any type of activity are caused by falls, mostly due to slipping and sliding.
An extensive study of the National Institute of Scientific Research of France supports this figure. The answer to this problem is a secured footing which can be provided by mats on the floor with an anti-slip surface.
NOTRAX FLOOR MATTING - PROTECTION
Damage and breakage is very often caused by dropped tools and utensils and can be reduced significantly through mats on the floor that amortize the shock. Mats protect floors and equipment.
NOTRAX FLOOR MATTING - INSULATION
Factory floors are mostly made of concrete and require insulation against cold temperatures coming from the ground (especially in winter) but also against heat (e.g. in front of ovens). Besides, mats on the floor reduce transmission of noise and vibrations.
From dry to wet conditions, light to heavy duty, use this guide to choose the right NOTRAX mat for the right application.
Industrial Care Instructions
Molded Rubber and PVC Anti-Fatigue Mats
Used in Wet Environments
Use a high-pressure hose (no greater than 1800 psi) and hot water (no greater than 160 degrees F) to remove oils from the mat. For best results, use a mild soap or detergent to clean the mat. Do not use steam, degreasers or caustic chemicals. Do not machine wash or mechanically scrub the mat.
PVC Sponge Mats
Used in Dry Environments
Sweep regularly or dry mop the surface. These mats can be damp-mopped with a mild soap or detergent.
Runners
Sweep the surface with a broom or vacuum. Runners can also be wet mopped with a mild soap.
ESD Mats
It is important to sweep or dry mop the surface regularly. Also wet mop or wipe off with mild soap or a static control cleaning solution that will not leave a residue. This will allow the mat to continue to function efficiently.
