  2. Captures contamination at the floor level where most contamination enters

  3. Reduces airborne particulate by up to 75%

  4. Focused on prevention rather than reaction at the point of entry

  5. Reduces contamination transfer deeper into facilities

  6. Minimizes cross-contamination between zones

  7. Naturally tacky polymer surface that attracts and retains particles

  8. Maintains performance even when visibly dirty

  9. Cleaning restores performance rather than removing product

  10. Washable and easy to clean using approved detergents

  11. Compatible with GMP and cleanroom cleaning protocols

  12. Designed to support compliance with ISO 14644 cleanroom standards

  13. Peer reviewed and independently tested performance data available

  14. Easy to validate as part of a contamination control plan

  15. Ongoing performance validation supported through testing and technical documentation

  16. Typical service life of 3 to 5 years depending on environment

  17. Lower total cost of ownership over time

  18. No consumables to stock, track, or reorder

  19. Reduces labor associated with maintenance and replacement
