Flexigrid helps keep workplace free from waste
Global manufacturer Technical Fibre Products needed a slip resistant surface that could also dissipate large volumes of excess liquid.
The problem
Global manufacturer Technical Fibre Products make high performance non-woven materials for a range of uses, including fire protection, thermal insulation and power storage. Its unique wet-laid production process means large volumes of fluid can often seep onto the production floor, as well as other corrosive industrial materials. TFP needed a matting solution that could cover a large area, keep workers safe from slipping on unwanted debris, as well as cope with the heavy-duty demands of a fast-moving manufacturing environment.
The checklist
- Quickly drains and dissipates large volumes of liquid
- Provides the highest slip resistance
- Tough, resilient and impermeable to corrosive industrial materials
- Easy to roll for regular cleaning
The solution
After stress testing several different products, Flexigrid was far and beyond the best solution for the problem. Its elevated 3/4" height meant any hazardous matter could be quickly dispersed and drained, while the diamond tread surface delivered added traction and certified slip resistance.
The one-piece covering means the matting can be loose laid for quick installation, and easily rolled up to facilitate regular cleaning. And because it's made from non-porous PVC, Flexigrid repels oils, acids and chemicals, making it ideal for a manufacturing environment like TFP.
