ANTI-FATIGUE PROPERTIES: Cushioning qualities found in NOTRAX® matting that alleviates foot pressure, stimulates blood circulation and helps reduce stress on the lower back, leg joints and major muscle groups.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: The degree to which NOTRAX® industrial matting products can withstand the erosive qualities of chemicals found in applicable environments.
DECALON®: An exclusive NOTRAX® fiber constructed of high Denier polypropylene yarn. Products manufactured with Decalon® offer superb wear resistance, exceptional moisture retention, and crisp pattern appearance in coordinating colors. See products #130, #131, #132, #137, #138, #139, #141, #146, #148, and #325.
DENIER: Denier is defined as the thickness of the yarn strand. Combined with the faceweight (ounces of yarn per square yard), and the density or volume of yarn strands, It is a critical factor in the performance, quality and durability of an entrance mat. NOTRAX® competitors define their quality in terms of face-weight only.
DYNA-SHIELD®: A revolutionary new process perfected by Superior Manufacturing Group that creates a tough protective barrier on the surface of foam anti-fatigue mats. DynaShield® products are more resistant to wear than traditional sponge matting. See products #406, #413, #415, #417, #419, and #825.
GSII: A technology incorporated into NOTRAX® industrial floor matting products that allow them to excel in harsh industrial environments where aggressive chemicals, oils, and greases are commonly found, and where traditional matting often fails. See products #850GSII, #856GSII.
NEEDLEPUNCH: A manufacturing process for carpet matting, needlepunch is engineered with a unique blend of 4 Denier thicknesses of polypropylene yarn ranging from very fine to very thick. Needlepunch products are typically more durable, offering better crush resistance and wearability due to the density of the yarn used in the process. See products #105, #109, #117 #118, #136, #323, and #370.
NITRILE RUBBER: A synthetic rubber specifically designed for harsh environments providing superior oil, grease, animal fat, and chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, gas permeability, and thermal stability. Niru® is the NOTRAX®, trademarked name for Nitrile rubber compound. See products #543, #544, #550, #551, #556, #562, #650, #656, #755, #758, #850GSII, #856GSII, #580, #585, SOLUTIONS™.
PVC COMPOUNDS: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a plastic compound used in a variety of manufacturing processes and end products. PVC is known for its durability, resistance to moisture, versatility, and its ability to withstand harsh environments. See products #420, #422, #520,#522,#620,#622,#920,#922.
TUFTED: An alternative process to needlepunch for manufacturing carpet matting, tufted products are sewn into a backing using a finer yarn. Tufted mats generally are less dense and offer better moisture retention. Tufted products also have more flexibility with colors and patterns providing a more aesthetic finished product. See products #130, #131, #132, #137, #138, #139, #141, #145, #146, #148, #150, #161, #166, #167, #168, #170, #180, #190, #231, and #325.
UNIFUSION™: A revolutionary new bonding technology that uses heat and pressure to fuse a floor matting top surface to a base material. The resulting finished product is virtually a single piece, thereby eliminating the possibility of de-lamination. See products #470, #474, #479, #480, #826, #970, #974, #979, #980. |
