Dust control mats from Kager reduce pollutant load at the workplace a high concentration of airborne and dust particles in the environment can impair both the health of employees and the quality of processes in production or in the laboratory. An extremely effective countermeasure here is the use of a hight-quality entrance mat from Kager. This can significantly reduce particulate pollution in the air in the entrance areas of sensitive zones.
Not least against the backdrop of the bitter experiences of the Corona years, most manufacturing companies have improved their standards for hygiene and health protection at workplaces. In many places, stricter safety regulations and detailed behavioral rules have been introduced, as well as dust and particle locks, as were previously common only in cleanroom and contamination control technology. Many safety experts and health officers also recognized that these measures can contribute significantly to quality assurance and process optimization beyond improving the climate of indoor air. In particular, in production landscapes where the requirements of technical cleanliness according to VDA 19 and ISO 16232 prevail, particle locks or special clean entrance zones are now playing an increasing role. As an ideal component for their implementation, the statically discharging and ESD-compatible dust control floor mats of the SB series have proven themselves, offered by the German trading and consulting company Kager. Their use can greatly improve the quality of the indoor air and – as the technical jargon goes – reduce the proportion of dispersed distributions of solid substances in the environment. The Kager dust control mat has already proven its effectiveness as a “particle catcher” in numerous cleanroom and laboratory technology applications in industry and research.
Early dirt barrier The dust control mat from Kager is made of a high-quality styrene-butadiene blend. It does not release any plasticizers or harmful vinyl chloride, but it offers a very adhesive surface that removes even tightly bound dust and dirt particles from shoe soles or from the wheels of mobile equipment trolleys. By laying such a mat in an entrance area, the risk of uncontrolled particle transmission can thus be reduced with minimal effort before people, transport systems, or floor conveyors reach the interior of a room.
Kager offers its dust control mat in standard sizes of 1,200 x 600 mm and 1,000 x 1,000 mm, which are suitable for most traffic zones of cleanrooms, research laboratories, or even clinics and doctors’ offices. For layouts in particularly long corridors or on larger operational floors, there are also ten-meter rolls from which the customer can then cut the appropriate segments. Laid like a carpet, the mats adhere slip-free to almost any clean and smooth surface. No pretreatment of the substrate or special anchors are required. On rough surfaces, Kager recommends firmly gluing the SB mat to prevent bulging or slipping.
Simple cleaning Since the dust control mat is also offered in two different thicknesses, the customer can choose: for heavily trafficked zones, a 6.0 mm thick variant can be selected, while for less frequented traffic zones, a version with only 3.0 mm thickness is available. Cleaning can be done with water and common washing and disinfecting agents and does not impair the adhesive power.
