Kleen-Sticky Mat by Kleen-Tex is an advanced barrier mat with antibacterial properties, created for facilities requiring the highest hygiene standards. Its multi-layer construction and European production quality make this product an indispensable tool in combating microbiological contamination in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and industry.
Why Choose Kleen-Sticky Mat?
The most important advantage of Kleen-Sticky Mat is its multi-layer decontamination construction consisting of 30 or 60 self-adhesive sheets. Each layer mechanically traps contamination while chemically neutralizing microorganisms thanks to built-in antibacterial elements. The system provides instantly renewed protection – simply peel off the soiled layer and you immediately have access to a fresh decontamination surface. Antibacterial effectiveness has been confirmed by independent tests Thor Method 720 and Thor Method 730. Tests have shown that the mat effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold. The sticky surface traps not only visible contamination such as dust or mud, but also microscopic pathogens carried on shoe soles, hospital bed wheels, or transport carts. The self-adhesive bottom layer guarantees stable adherence without tapes. The mat does not move even with intensive traffic, eliminating tripping risks. Layer numbering allows for wear monitoring and planning new mat orders. The optional protective frame made of nitrile rubber with ramped borders facilitates the movement of carts and wheeled devices, preventing snagging.
Kleen-Sticky Mat Applications
In the medical sector, the mat plays a key role in preventing hospital-acquired infections – as a barrier before operating rooms, in intensive care units, emergency rooms, or diagnostic laboratories. It minimizes the risk of transferring MRSA, VRE, or Staphylococcus aureus. In pharmaceutical industry, it works excellently in clean rooms classes A, B, C, and D compliant with ISO 14644-1. It eliminates the risk of introducing contamination in sterile drug, vaccine, or biological preparation production zones. In food facilities, it secures HACCP critical control points, protecting against pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria, or E. coli. In electronics industry, it protects components from dust that could cause production defects.

Kleen-Sticky Mat Maintenance
A key advantage is the complete lack of maintenance need. After the top surface becomes soiled, simply peel it off, revealing a new layer. Numbering allows for visual wear monitoring. Replacement frequency should be adjusted to traffic intensity – in operating rooms this may mean every few hours, in lower-traffic areas up to a week. Proper application: the mat requires a clean, dry, and degreased surface. Product intended exclusively for dry environments – contact with water may damage the adhesive layer. Used layers should be disposed of according to local regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Kleen-Sticky Mat decontamination mat work?
Kleen-Sticky Mat works on a dual principle: mechanical and chemical. The sticky surface mechanically traps contamination from shoe soles and cart wheels, while built-in antibacterial and antifungal elements chemically neutralize pathogens. Each of the 30 or 60 layers constitutes an independent decontamination barrier. After soiling, simply peel off the top layer to immediately obtain a fresh protective surface without work interruption.
Is Kleen-Sticky Mat effective against hospital bacteria?
Yes, the antibacterial effectiveness of Kleen-Sticky Mat has been confirmed by Thor Method 720 and Thor Method 730 tests. The product effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold, including hospital pathogens. The mat traps both bacteria-carrying visible contamination and microscopic microorganisms, making it an effective tool in preventing cross-infections in medical facilities and environments requiring high microbiological cleanliness.
How often should Kleen-Sticky Mat layers be replaced?
The frequency of layer replacement depends on traffic intensity and contamination levels. In places with very high traffic, such as main entrances to operating rooms or sterile production zones, a layer may require replacement every few hours. In areas with lower traffic, one layer can serve for several days or even a week. Layer numbering (from 30/60 to 1) enables easy wear monitoring and mat replacement planning.
Can Kleen-Sticky Mat be used in clean rooms?
Yes, Kleen-Sticky Mat was designed with clean room applications compliant with ISO 14644-1 in mind. The product effectively traps particles and microorganisms, protecting against contamination in zones with the highest cleanliness requirements. The mat does not emit particles or fibers, which is crucial for maintaining controlled environment parameters. It is applicable in both pharmaceutical-grade clean rooms and electronics and optical component production zones.
How to install Kleen-Sticky Mat?
Installing Kleen-Sticky Mat is simple and does not require specialist tools. The substrate surface should be thoroughly cleaned – vacuumed, degreased, and dried. Then remove the bottom protective layer of the mat and stick it to the prepared substrate, pressing the entire surface to ensure full adhesion. After sticking, remove the top protective layer, revealing the first working layer. The mat adheres stably to the substrate without additional fastening elements. Optionally, a nitrile rubber frame can be used to increase durability and facilitate cart passage.
Does Kleen-Sticky Mat leave adhesive residue on the floor?
No, Kleen-Sticky Mat uses special water-based adhesive that provides strong adherence to the substrate but does not leave permanent marks after mat removal. After using the entire mat (all 30 or 60 layers), it can be peeled off and the floor surface remains clean. In case of adhesive residue, it can be easily removed with standard cleaning agents. The mat does not damage floor coatings or leave discoloration.
Kleen-Sticky Mat is the choice of professionals who accept no compromises in cleanliness and microbiological safety. European production quality, certified effectiveness, and thoughtful multi-layer construction make this product an investment in the highest class of protection for the most demanding medical, pharmaceutical, and industrial environments.
