Proven contamination control for heavy-duty environments
In industrial and warehouse environments, maintaining contamination control presents unique challenges. Heavy wheeled traffic and constant material movement create significant contamination risks, yet traditional control methods like sticky mats fail under these demanding conditions. Most facilities rely on inadequate solutions that compromise safety, efficiency, and ultimately, product quality.
Dycem WorkZone is an industrial-grade contamination control system engineered for heavy-duty environments. Capable of supporting forklifts, pallet jacks and loads up to 1,280 lb/in² (90 kg/cm²), WorkZone captures up to 99.9% of wheel-borne contamination before it enters your critical areas.
Attracts, captures, and retains up to
99.9%
of particulate.

Why WorkZone?
For facility and warehouse managers, contamination control strategies (CCS) aren’t just about compliance – they’re about protecting product integrity while maintaining a high level of operational efficiency.
Traditional methods like sticky mats fail under heavy wheeled traffic such as pallet trucks, forklifts, and trolleys, creating safety hazards, workflow disruptions and the risk of contamination entering critical areas.

Effective risk management in industrial environments demands robust monitoring and controls, particularly where multiple production processes create diverse sources of contamination. Your operations are too important to leave contamination control to chance. WorkZone provides comprehensive protection against various contaminants, including foot and wheel-borne, supporting your facilities and equipment with reliable, long-term performance.
WorkZone is specifically engineered for industrial environments where material handling equipment operates continuously with high traffic volumes. Our polymeric technology offers proven contamination control that is compatible with heavy-wheeled traffic. WorkZone includes optional food-grade stainless steel edging, ensuring a smooth transition for wheeled traffic.
With minimal maintenance requirements and a 3+ year lifespan in high-traffic areas, WorkZone delivers significant long-term cost savings while supporting your facility’s regulatory compliance and sustainability goals.
How does WorkZone work?
WorkZone uses advanced polymeric technology, specifically designed for heavy-duty environments, to provide a naturally tacky surface that effectively attracts, captures, and retains contaminants upon contact. By leveraging Van der Waals forces, the electromagnetic interactions secure the contaminants firmly onto the mat’s surface, ensuring they remain trapped until the mat is cleaned.

Unlike traditional sticky mats, WorkZone maintains its performance even under repeated foot traffic or wheel rotations in high-use areas, ensuring consistent contamination control over time.
With a durable, low-profile design tailored for heavy-wheeled traffic, WorkZone integrates easily into your contamination control strategy. Engineered for up to 99.9% contamination control, WorkZone achieves optimal decontamination in three full-wheel rotations. Designed to support forklifts and weight tolerances of up to 1280 lbs/in² (90 kg/cm²), WorkZone provides long-term protection with a lifespan of 3+ years, ensuring contamination control even in demanding industrial environments.
Built-in antimicrobial protection
Every WorkZone mat incorporates Biomaster, a silver ion-based antimicrobial technology that actively inhibits microbial growth by up to 99.9%. This protection remains effective for the life of the mat even through heavy traffic conditions, providing continuous defence against microbial contamination in cleanrooms and controlled environments.
Technical excellence
WorkZone sets the standard for contamination control with its innovative design and Dycem’s unmatched technical expertise. With a surface resistivity of 10⁸ ohms, WorkZone effectively dissipates static discharge whilst maintaining superior particle retention in industrial settings.
For added assurance, every Dycem product includes coverage for our annual particle collection efficiency test (PCET). This service provides documented evidence of WorkZone’s ongoing effectiveness, supporting your quality assurance records and ensuring continuous, reliable contamination control.
Our ISO-certified processes ensure consistent quality, resulting in high-quality contamination control mats that deliver long-term performance. Dycem’s manufacturing meets EN ISO 9001 and 14001 standards, California Proposition 65 and EU REACH compliance, ensuring the highest quality and environmental responsibility.
