Global tool manufacturer Sandvik Coromant has installed black Vynagrip matting with yellow edging in its Cirencester works (UK). Manufactured by Plastic Extruders, the matting provides employees working in the large production areas with a safe and slip resistant surface underfoot.
Vynagrip covers the factory floor with its yellow edging clearly delineating the safe walkway. The matting was chosen for this application because it can be loose laid and contours over rough and uneven floors which is ideal where floor levels change, slope or cross thresholds. Importantly, the matting is very hard wearing, can be easily rolled up to facilitate cleaning and helps combat the problems of standing fatigue over prolonged periods.
The matting’s extra aggressive and deep etched surface, which is resistant to oil, acid and chemicals, achieves a high rating for slip resistant performance (R11, for surfaces with angle of incline between 19 and 27 degrees) when tested to DIN 51130. The open grid allows liquid spills and production waste to fall through, further reducing the risk of slippery.
Black Vynagrip is manufactured with a minimum of 30% post-industrial recycled material and is fully recyclable, making it a sustainable and environmentally-sensitive choice. It is available in 5m or 10m roll lengths, 60, 91 and 122cm wide. Individual modules are also available in 80 x 120cm or 100 x 150cm as standard with bespoke sizes available to order.
Standard colours are red, blue or black with the additional option of yellow or dark grey safety edges.
