FAQs
Independent tests from GlaxoSmithKline show that disposable, adhesive peel-off mats are only 27% effective in preventing foot and wheel-borne contamination. To find out more reasons why Dycem is a superior choice to tacky mats, click here:
80% of all contamination enters a critical environment at floor level on feet or wheels (Source: 3M). Therefore, controlling contamination and cross contamination at or near floor level is an essential and fundamental part of protecting your critical environment from particulates and the harm they can cause.
Dycem products all include Biomaster – a silver ion-based anti-microbial, proven to provide effective and lasting protection on more than 50 different organisms, including Salmonella, E.coli, Listeria and MRSA.
Dycem products have a life span on average of around 3-5 years and depending on traffic and general usage, a Dycem mat or floor will continue to be effective for longer than 5 years. Over time, the effectiveness of the flooring will diminish, but studies have shown even after several years of use, a well maintained Dycem floor is still twice as effective as a brand-new peel-off mat.
Dycem has a range of product types and installation methods that can be combined to suit the unique needs of our customers.

Studies by 3M have shown that over 80% of contamination enters the cleanroom through entrances and exits, mostly at or near floor level. Dycem should be used at all entrances, exits, hallways, gowning rooms, airlocks and areas leading to the cleanroom or critical area. A complete consultation and site survey can be conducted at your facility by your local Dycem contamination control specialist to evaluate appropriate size and placement for Dycem products.

Because of the highly customized nature of Dycem contamination control mats and flooring, it is not something you can order online or through a catalog. For optimal performance of your Dycem product, a consultation and site survey by your local contamination control specialist is recommended. From there, we’ll work with you to recommend the most appropriate products for your facility.
Cleaning is a very straightforward process; simply wet mop the entire product with an approved cleaning solution and squeegee dry. One of the many benefits of Dycem mats and flooring is that they can be easily incorporated into your current Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) and cleaned as part of your regular cleaning and maintenance schedule, provided the right size has been installed to accommodate the amount of traffic.
As part of our ongoing customer service, we provide a complementary particle collection efficiency test of your Dycem products, completed on an annual basis by your local contamination control specialist. A report will be produced for your records.
Between cleaning, the floor will look dirty. This is good – if the dirt was not on the floor, it would be in your critical environment. Dycem manufactures both CleanZone and Workzone in a speckled, decorative finish that will help mask the dirt if a reduced visibility option is desired.
