The professional cable protection mat Kleen-Cable Mat Rubber is a solution designed for environments demanding the highest safety standards. Made entirely of ecological nitrile rubber with characteristic warning stripes, it effectively prevents trips and protects cable infrastructure from mechanical damage in high-traffic locations.
Why Choose Cable Mat Rubber?
Workplace safety is a priority for every responsible employer, and loose cables represent one of the most frequently overlooked hazards leading to accidents. Cable Mat Rubber was created as a response to the real needs of industries where running cables through communication pathways is an everyday occurrence. The product was designed with international safety standards in mind, and its most recognizable feature is the distinctive 30 mm wide yellow-and-black warning borders that immediately catch the eye and warn of potential danger.
The key construction element is the integrated cable channel located on the underside of the mat. It is in this carefully profiled recess that cables are laid - single or in bundles. Thanks to the appropriately selected depth and width of the channel, cables remain stably immobilized, do not come out from under the mat, and do not create dangerous bulges. This solution eliminates the problem of so-called "cable traps" which in high-traffic areas can lead to serious injuries.
The choice of nitrile rubber as the construction material was not accidental. This advanced elastomer combines mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and longevity. Unlike popular mats made of PVC or cheap plastics, nitrile rubber does not break under low temperatures, does not crumble after years of use, and does not ripple, maintaining a flat profile. Additionally, this material exhibits natural resistance to oils, greases, fuels, and many chemicals encountered in industrial environments.
The ecological dimension of the product deserves special attention. The mat contains 15% recycled rubber, which aligns with circular economy trends and environmental responsibility. By choosing Cable Mat Rubber, you invest not only in safety but also support sustainable development. The product is completely free of harmful PVC, which can release toxic substances during use or in case of fire.
Applications Across Various Industries
Manufacturing and warehouse industries are areas where Cable Mat Rubber finds the most intensive application. In production halls where technological lines require electrical power and sensors and controllers communicate via network cables, safe routing of cabling through evacuation routes and communication pathways is essential. The mat performs excellently in zones where workers move on foot, as well as where forklifts and other warehouse vehicles operate - its mechanical strength ensures cable protection even when heavy equipment passes over it.
The event and congress industry has found in Cable Mat Rubber an ideal tool for managing temporary infrastructure. During trade fairs, exhibitions, conferences, or seminars, it is necessary to provide power for exhibition stands, lighting systems, and multimedia equipment. Audio, video, network, and power cables often must run through main communication pathways used by exhibitors and visitors. Traditional securing methods such as tapes or makeshift covers do not meet safety requirements. Cable Mat Rubber enables professional securing in minutes, and after the event ends, it can be dismantled and transported just as quickly.
At concerts, music festivals, and other mass events, participant safety is an absolute priority. Stage cabling, sound systems, lighting, and monitoring systems require hundreds of meters of cables that must be routed through spaces accessible to the public. Cable Mat Rubber, thanks to its visibility and certified anti-slip properties, meets the requirements of mass event safety regulations. Organizers can confidently document the use of professional protective solutions during OSH audits.
In modern open-space offices where spatial flexibility is key, the mat allows free routing of cables without interfering with the building structure. It is particularly useful when organizing temporary workstations, during room layout reorganization, or in coworking spaces. Public facilities such as hospitals, universities, museums, or shopping centers also use Cable Mat Rubber wherever temporary or permanent cable installations running through public zones need to be secured.
Technical Specification
The technical parameters of the mat have been precisely selected to guarantee maximum safety while maintaining user comfort. The total thickness of approximately 4.8 mm represents a balance between barrier-free crossing and effective cable protection. This height minimizes the risk of tripping over the mat edge while providing sufficient space in the lower channel for laying standard diameter cables without creating bulges on the upper surface.
The product's specific weight is approximately 5.8 kg per square meter, which translates into the actual weight of individual sizes: the 40 x 120 cm mat weighs about 2.8 kg, the 40 x 160 cm version is about 3.7 kg, and the longest 40 x 200 cm mat reaches about 4.6 kg. This own weight ensures stability and resistance to accidental displacement during intensive traffic while remaining light enough for one person to carry and lay the mat without specialized equipment.
The availability of three standard sizes is a thoughtful response to diverse user needs. The 40 cm width was selected as optimal for typical cable runs encountered in industrial and commercial environments - it covers standard cable bundles without excessive waste of space. Lengths of 120, 160, and 200 cm allow efficient planning of cable routes and minimization of joints. In situations requiring non-standard dimensions, users can cut the mat on-site to the required length, eliminating the need to order custom-sized products.
Material and Production Technology
Nitrile rubber, also known as butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber (NBR), is a synthetic elastomer with exceptional performance properties. It is characterized by excellent resistance to abrasion, tearing, and the action of mineral and synthetic oils, fuels, greases, and many solvents. These features make it an ideal material for producing protective mats in industrial environments where contact with petroleum-based substances is inevitable. Unlike thermoplastic materials, nitrile rubber maintains elasticity across a wide temperature range - from approximately -40°C to +100°C - ensuring full functionality in both freezing winters and hot summers.
Special molding technology allowed for the creation of an integrated cable channel on the underside of the mat. Unlike solutions where the channel is glued or screwed on, here it forms an integral part of the product structure. This eliminates the risk of element detachment and ensures uniform mechanical strength throughout the mat's cross-section. The channel profile was designed to accommodate both single larger-diameter cables and bundles of thinner cables, offering universal application.
The texture of the lower surface was shaped to provide anti-slip properties. Even on very smooth substrates such as polished concrete, ceramic tiles, or laminate panels, the mat remains stable and does not move. The upper surface has a low-profile embossing which, on one hand, improves the product's aesthetics, and on the other - increases the friction coefficient between footwear and the mat, reducing the risk of slipping, especially in wet conditions.
Maintenance and Care
One of the practical advantages of Cable Mat Rubber is minimal maintenance labor. In daily use, regular removal of loose contaminants through industrial vacuum cleaning or sweeping is sufficient. The smooth surface structure does not retain dust and fine particles, facilitating cleanliness maintenance. In industrial environments where the mat may be exposed to oil, grease, or other substance contamination, periodic washing using pressurized water is recommended.
Pressure washing can be performed directly at the installation site or after mat removal. Water temperature should not exceed 60°C, although nitrile rubber will withstand higher temperatures. Mild detergents with neutral pH can be used, avoiding strong bases and acids as well as organic solvents based on ketones and esters. After washing, the mat should be laid flat and allowed to dry naturally. Due to the water-impermeable structure, the drying process is fast - typically several dozen minutes under ventilated conditions.
Certificates and Quality Standards
Cable Mat Rubber has comprehensive certification documentation confirming compliance with European safety standards. The certificate of conformity with standard EN 13501-1 regarding fire classification of construction products confirms that the product has been tested for behavior under fire conditions. This standard evaluates parameters such as flame spread rate, heat release, and smoke emission - factors crucial for user safety in case of fire hazard.
The NFSI High-Traction certificate, issued by the National Floor Safety Institute, confirms the product's high anti-slip properties. This organization conducts independent friction coefficient tests under various conditions (dry, wet, contaminated surfaces), and certificate award means meeting rigorous safety requirements. This is particularly important in the context of OSH regulations, which in many industries require the use of floors and mats with documented anti-slip properties.
The product is covered by a two-year manufacturer's warranty covering material and workmanship defects under proper operation in accordance with instructions. The mat was manufactured in Europe at facilities holding ISO 9001 quality management system certificates. Production occurs with respect for environmental standards, and the use of 15% recycled rubber confirms the manufacturer's commitment to sustainable development principles.
