Adhesive absorbent floor matting for walkways, entrances and loading docks

Where adhesive matting earns its place

Adhesive matting is for fixed routes where liquids are tracked or dripped every day, and where a loose mat would move:

• Entrances and lobbies, especially for wet-weather and winter track-in.
• Supermarket produce and freezer lines, where drips and condensation collect on the floor.
• Production walkways and work cells, where oil and coolant are carried on shoes and trolley wheels.
• Loading docks and forklift routes, where the matting has to stay flat under heavy traffic.
• Floor protection during renovation work and events.

Choose the backing for the job

The backing decides how the matting behaves on the floor. We make four variants:

• Adhesive poly film: a secure floor bond plus a liquid-proof barrier, so spills stay in the mat and off the floor underneath.
• Adhesive PP spunbond: a secure bond on a tough, flexible base, for routes where the matting must follow the floor closely.
• Poly film without adhesive: lies flat as a liquid barrier and can be repositioned freely.
• No backing: plain needle-punched absorbent for lining and wiping.

PET or PP?

The absorbent layer is 100% PET (polyester) or 100% PP (polypropylene). The right choice depends on the traffic, the liquids it will meet and any heat or UV exposure on site. Tell us the application and we will recommend the substrate. The standard colour is dark grey, which hides dirt in busy areas; custom colours are possible against a minimum order quantity.

Rolls for runners, pre-cut mats for fixed spots

Rolls suit long runners along aisles, walkways and dock routes, cut to length on site. Pre-cut mats suit doorways, machine bases and work stations, where a ready-to-use size saves time. Both formats are made with every backing, and many distributors stock both.

Fitting tips to pass on to your customers

The bond is only as good as the floor underneath it:

• Apply to clean, dry and sound hard floors; dust and moisture weaken the bond.
• Test a small area first over painted or freshly coated surfaces.
• Roll the matting out flat and press it down along its full length.
• Replace it when it is saturated or worn: it peels up in one piece, with no scraping or grinding.

Matting and loose absorbents work together

Adhesive matting handles the everyday drips and track-in along fixed routes. For larger spills, sites still keep loose universal pads, rolls and socks, and oil-only absorbents where water must be repelled. Because 5–6 different products can be combined in one 40'HQ container, the matting can travel together with the rest of your absorbent range.
