Cleanrooms

Dycem is engineered specifically for cleanrooms, supporting environments from ISO Class 9 to ISO Class 2. Our goal is to raise the bar for cleanliness and contamination control in these critical spaces. With tacky properties that capture contaminants from feet and wheels, and a natural static charge that pulls airborne particles to the surface, Dycem operates on two levels of protection. Easy to clean and maintain within existing protocols, Dycem mats offer a long-lasting, reliable solution for contamination control in cleanrooms.

Contamination: The Risk in Cleanrooms

Cleanrooms are crucial for controlling particles to ensure quality, safety, and profitability. Contamination from personnel, products, or airflow can disrupt processes and spread microorganisms rapidly.

Common contaminants include visible particles like dust and fibers, and invisible ones like microbes and allergens. Static (ESD) can also damage electronic components.

The presence of these contaminants can lead to reduced product quality, factory shutdowns, unsatisfactory audits, product recalls, and health risks.

An effective contamination control strategy, including Dycem mats, is essential for maintaining cleanroom operations.

80% of Contamination Enters a Critical Space at Floor Level.

Benefits of Dycem in Cleanrooms

superior floor & Air particulate control

Dirt and dust are captured on Dycem mats and remain on the surface until cleaned off. With Dycem’s flooring for cleanroom, benefit from a reduction in floor-level particulate of up to 99.9% and a reduction in air particulate levels of up to 75%.

REDUCED MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION CONCERNS

With Dycem mats installed prior to critical areas, our cleanroom customers have peace of mind that damage from microbial contamination is minimized. All Dycem products contain Biomaster, an active antimicrobial additive.

COST-EFFECTIVE, SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE

Unlike disposable contamination control solutions, Dycem mats last on average 3+ years. Cleanroom facilities typically see an ROI shortly after purchase, as well as the added benefit of a reduced carbon footprint due to less plastic waste.

Learn how our customers have benefitted from installing Dycem.

"We have found the Dycem mats to be effective and simple to maintain, they look smart and are far superior to traditional tacky mats. The original fit and the replacements were carried out to a very high standard."

"A true game changer for controlling and preventing contamination from entering critical areas."

“There is no question in the superiority of the particle capture efficiency of Dycem over the tacky mat. It has been a pleasure working with Dycem in keeping our cleanroom floors clean.”

"We had a short experience with a competitive product and can definitely recommend Dycem as our chosen solution."

“With Dycem, more dirt (was) prevented from entering the controlled environment and anterooms due to bigger coverage and capability of material catching more particulates. Huge cost savings.”

"We had 'suffered' the classic sticky mats for many years before we were fortunate enough to find Dycem. After a trial, we installed across the whole site. Great results and everybody happy."

"Dycem is the most cost effective means of controlling contamination at the floor level and preventing contamination from getting into critical development work."

"The finish with Dycem inlaid into the vinyl is excellent. With large amounts of traffic within the aseptic unit, the flooring system ensures a consistent C/D environment."

Dycem Antimicrobial mats are very easy to clean and use. It is very important from the safety and quality control aspect. It is really good for microbial contamination prospects. I would highly recommend having this installed.

Installed several Dycem mats throughout JLR's former 'Engine Manufacturing Facility' in Wolverhampton. Great product with long lasting results with proper maintenance. Would consider them again for any flagship / mission critical facility.

The Team was professional, knowledgeable, and personable. An excellent representation of Dycem culture.

Had a great experience with Dycem from our preventative maintenance, scheduling repairs, and installation. Repair tech was amazing adjusting to our last minute schedule change and went above and beyond. Great accommodation and communication.

Contamination in Cleanrooms

The ISO particle count system is a standardized method for quantifying and categorizing airborne particle concentrations in controlled environments.

It adheres to ISO guidelines and is vital for quality control in industries like pharmaceuticals and electronics manufacturing.
