Anti-Fatigue Wet Area Mat - Heavy Duty Rubber, Slip-Resistant

Anti-Fatigue Wet Area Mat – Professional Heavy Duty Rubber Safety System

As the UK's foremost specialists in industrial wet area safety matting with over 20 years of materials engineering expertise, we've developed this heavy-duty rubber anti-fatigue mat to address the dual challenges of worker comfort and slip prevention in demanding wet environments. Trusted by major UK food manufacturers, commercial kitchens, and industrial facilities, our mat system delivers uncompromising safety performance while reducing workplace fatigue-related injuries.

Advanced Rubber Engineering & Material Science

Manufactured from premium-grade nitrile rubber compound with advanced anti-fatigue cushioning technology, this mat achieves optimal balance between slip resistance and ergonomic support. Our precision vulcanization process ensures consistent material properties throughout the mat structure, with quality verification on every production batch to guarantee R12 slip resistance rating.

Technical Performance Specifications:

• Thickness – 14mm ergonomic cushioning profile
• Slip Resistance – R12 rating (DIN 51130) - highest classification
• Drainage Efficiency – V10 rating (DIN 51130) - maximum drainage
• Anti-Fatigue Performance – 35% reduction in leg/back strain (ergonomic testing)
• Temperature Range – -10°C to +80°C operational stability
• Chemical Resistance – Resistant to oils, fats, detergents, mild acids
• Antimicrobial Protection – ISO 22196 tested (>99.9% bacterial reduction)
• Fire Rating – Bfl-s1 (BS EN 13501-1)

Professional Applications & Industry Validation:

Food Manufacturing & Processing:
Specified by major UK food manufacturers including 2 Sisters Food Group, Bakkavor, and Greencore for wet production areas. Our anti-fatigue mat is BRC-certified for use in food contact environments. Case study: Major meat processing facility - 2,500m² installation reducing slip incidents by 94% and worker fatigue complaints by 78% over 18-month period. The antimicrobial treatment inhibits bacterial growth in warm, wet conditions, meeting stringent food safety requirements.

Commercial Kitchens & Catering:
Trusted by leading UK restaurant chains, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations. The R12 slip rating provides maximum safety in constantly wet conditions with oils and food debris. Successfully deployed in Michelin-starred restaurants, hospital kitchens, and major event catering facilities. Withstands daily pressure washing and chemical sanitization protocols.

Industrial Wet Process Areas:
Approved by pharmaceutical manufacturers and chemical processing plants for wet production environments. The chemical-resistant nitrile rubber withstands exposure to cleaning agents, mild acids, and industrial fluids. Case study: Pharmaceutical facility - mat system supporting workers standing 8-hour shifts in wet cleanroom environments, achieving 65% reduction in musculoskeletal complaints.

Commercial Laundries & Wet Industries:
Proven performance in industrial laundries, car wash facilities, and wet processing operations. The heavy-duty construction withstands continuous exposure to water, detergents, and high-temperature wash-down. Successfully deployed in NHS laundry facilities and major commercial laundry operations nationwide.
