Implementation of Contamination Control Mats

Contamination control mats are the most effective way to stop the spread of bacteria from shoes and the wheels of trollies. Contamination control mats stop bacteria right in its tracks at the very front door of a building or room which helps to ensure that there can be no spread of potentially harmful or dangerous bacteria.

Implementing some form of contamination control matting at the front door is the best way to prevent 99% of outside contaminants from entering a building. Mats that contain Silver Biocide kill all gram-negative & gram-positive bacteria and C-19. Silver Biocide is a core constituent of CC Mattings polymer mats. Our polymer mats contain silver ions, which have naturally occurring antimicrobial properties. Silver has been used for hundreds of years to prevent the growth of bacteria.

As the silver biocide is added to CC Matting polymer mats during manufacture, it is not something that can diminish, for example, if applied as a coating instead and provides longer-lasting effectiveness against microbial growth.

The silver ions within the biocide bind to the bacterial cell wall, and thus prevent growth by damaging it. The bacteria can no longer grow as their DNA has been damaged and they can no longer replicate. They can no longer produce energy either and therefore die.

Silver is inorganic and non-leaching which means, unlike organic antimicrobial technologies it stays within the item it is added to and provides effective and lasting antimicrobial protection without allowing bacteria to develop resistance.

Silver ion technology has been independently tested in over 2000 applications and has been proven to reduce the growth of over 50 harmful organisms by up to 99.9%.
