Dycem® Particle Collection Efficiency Test (PCET)

To ensure your Dycem mat remains effective, we offer a complimentary annual Particle Collection Efficiency Test (PCET). Conducted by your local contamination control specialist, this test measures the mat’s tackiness and particle capture efficiency. The resulting report supports compliance during audits and is provided for your records.

Why Annual Testing Matters:

Identifies issues with daily use or cleaning that could reduce the mat’s lifespan.
Assists in budget forecasting as mats approach the end of their lifespan.
Provides a test report for audit purposes, ensuring compliance.

What is a PCET Test?

The Particle Collection Efficiency Test (PCET) is an annual test performed by your local Dycem Contamination Control Specialist to assess the effectiveness of your Dycem mats. This complimentary test measures the mats’ ability to collect and retain particles on the surface of CleanZone and WorkZone products. The results provide an overview of the mat’s performance, helping you ensure that your contamination control measures are functioning optimally.

Efficiency Testing

Testing Your Dycem Mats

Each mat is tested using an Advanced Force Gauge (AFG) to measure the pull strength in Newtons, providing insight into the mat’s particle collection and retention efficiency. The testing process typically takes 5-10 minutes per mat, depending on size and location.
