Kleen-Scrape is a new-generation industrial rubber mat that combines the functionality of an entrance mat, ergonomic flooring, and a surface extremely resistant to chemical environments. Manufactured entirely from nitrile rubber by a European producer, this mat has become the standard in industrial facilities requiring maximum resistance to oils, greases, and aggressive chemicals.
Why is the Kleen-Scrape Mat the Choice of Professionals?
The foundation of Kleen-Scrape mat's exceptional properties is 100% nitrile rubber (NBR) – a premium material in the world of industrial mats. While standard SBR rubber mats undergo rapid degradation when in contact with engine oil or gasoline, nitrile rubber retains the full range of its mechanical properties even after years of exposure. The addition of 15% recycled content combines sustainable development with top-class parameters.
NFSI High-Traction certification awarded by the National Floor Safety Institute confirms the highest anti-slip standard. The embossed surface in the form of ribs (Oval) or checkerboard (Checker) minimizes the risk of slipping even under wet and oiled conditions.
Ergonomic comfort – 3.6 mm thickness provides optimal cushioning, relieving knee joints, hips, and lumbar spine. The elastic structure stimulates blood circulation, preventing leg fatigue during prolonged standing work.
Industrial durability confirmed by the manufacturer's 5-year warranty (2 years in industrial laundry). The mat withstands forklift and heavy equipment traffic without deformations.
Where Does the Kleen-Scrape Mat Work Best?
Automotive industry: automotive workshops, diagnostic stations, car washes – mat resistant to engine oils, brake fluids, coolants, and cleaning agents. Mechanics working at lifts appreciate fatigue reduction.
Manufacturing industry: assembly lines, machinery production, metal processing plants. Resistance to coolants, oil emulsions, and technical greases. CNC machine operators spend 8-12 hours on their feet – anti-fatigue properties genuinely affect productivity.
Entrance zones: hotels, office centers, production halls. The embossed structure captures dirt, water, and snow. The 20 mm edge prevents contaminant spillage.

Cleanliness Maintenance of Kleen-Scrape Mat
Daily maintenance requires minimal effort – sweeping or vacuuming is sufficient. In environments exposed to liquids, wiping with a damp mop and neutral pH 7-9 detergent is recommended. Deep cleaning in industrial laundry at 30-60°C. The ability to wash in hot water is a unique advantage of nitrile rubber's thermal stability. Alternative: on-site high-pressure cleaning.
Safety Certificates of Kleen-Scrape
EN 13501-1 class Efl-s1: very low flammability with minimal smoke production – critical for evacuation safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of NBR nitrile rubber over other types of rubbers in industrial mats?
Nitrile rubber (NBR) stands out for its exceptional resistance to oils, greases, gasoline, diesel, and most organic solvents, making it the material of first choice in industrial environments exposed to contact with petroleum-based substances. Compared to SBR rubber (used in cheaper mats), NBR doesn't swell, soften, or undergo premature degradation when in contact with oils. Additionally, nitrile rubber maintains elasticity over a wider temperature range and shows better abrasion resistance, translating into extended product life under difficult operating conditions. In the case of Kleen-Scrape, a premium class NBR blend with optimal acrylonitrile content was used, guaranteeing the best balance of properties.
Can the Kleen-Scrape mat be used in food environments and is it safe for indirect food contact?
Kleen-Scrape doesn't have certification for direct food contact, but it can be used in food industry facilities as floor matting in areas where there is no contact with food products. In industrial kitchens, meat processing plants, dairies, or bakeries, the product works well at workstations (packaging lines, preparation zones, washing areas) where resistance to animal and vegetable fats, industrial detergents, and regular high-temperature cleaning is required. For applications requiring full HACCP and FDA standards compliance, the manufacturer offers dedicated mats with food certification in a separate product line.
What cleaning methods are most effective and can a high-pressure washer be used?
The Kleen-Scrape mat tolerates various cleaning methods very well, including washing with a pressurized water stream (jet-wash), which is one of the most effective methods for removing embedded dirt from grooves and recesses of the embossed surface. A pressure washer with power up to 150 bars can be used, maintaining a distance of at least 30 cm from the surface to avoid mechanical damage. Alternatively, the mat can be washed in an industrial washing machine at 30-60°C with standard industrial detergents (pH 7-9) and dried in a tumble dryer. Only strong organic solvents (acetone, toluene) and strong acids and bases in high concentration should be avoided, as they may affect the long-term durability of the rubber.
How long does it take for anti-fatigue properties to regenerate and does the mat require an acclimatization period?
The anti-fatigue properties of nitrile rubber in the Kleen-Scrape mat are immediate and don't require a "break-in" period – the product is fully functional right after laying. After each load (e.g., pressure from a worker's foot), the elastic NBR structure returns to its original shape within seconds thanks to the rubber's resilient properties. The mat doesn't require special temperature acclimatization, but after transport in low temperatures (below 0°C), it's recommended to leave it at room temperature for 2-4 hours before laying to allow the material to regain optimal elasticity. In case of long-term storage in rolled form, horizontal storage is recommended to avoid permanent creases.
What are the differences between Oval and Checker patterns and which to choose for a specific application?
Both patterns – Oval (ribbed) and Checker (checkerboard) – provide identical functional properties: the same anti-slip traction, chemical resistance, and anti-fatigue comfort. The difference is purely aesthetic, allowing the mat to be matched to the visual character of an industrial or commercial interior. The Oval pattern with parallel ribs can visually extend space and is often chosen for narrow entrance corridors or production lines. The Checker (checkerboard) pattern suits square and rectangular spaces, creating a more neutral, universal appearance. Regardless of pattern choice, both versions have NFSI High-Traction certification and meet the same EN 13501-1 safety standards.
Choosing the Kleen-Scrape mat is a decision to invest in the highest quality, safety, and durability confirmed by international certifications and a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. Whether you manage a production hall, automotive workshop, logistics warehouse, or commercial facility – this mat will meet even the most demanding expectations in terms of chemical resistance, ergonomic comfort, and workplace safety.
