Q: Can these tiles be used in wet or oily environments?
A: Yes, these heavy duty open grid grease resistant mats are specifically designed for wet and oily environments. The open grid drainage design prevents fluid pooling while the Nitrile compound resists petroleum-based oils and cutting fluids. The SBR version effectively handles organic acids and glycol-based fluids.
Q: What thickness industrial floor tile do I need for heavy machinery?
A: For areas with heavy machinery and forklift traffic, the 3/4 In. (19 mm) thick heavy duty rubber floor tiles for warehouse operations provide optimal durability. This thickness withstands impact from equipment, heavy foot traffic, and even placement over open grating while maintaining structural integrity.
Q: What's the difference between nitrile and SBR rubber floor tiles?
A: Nitrile (NBR) rubber provides superior resistance to petroleum-based oils, hydraulic fluids, and diesel. SBR rubber excels with organic acids, glycol cutting fluids, and offers exceptional resistance to abrasion and impact. Choose Nitrile for petroleum exposure and SBR for durability in dry or acid-exposed areas.
Q: How do interlocking floor tiles compare to rolled rubber flooring?
A: Interlocking drainage rubber floor tiles offer modular flexibility that rolled flooring cannot match. You can easily reconfigure layouts when operations change, replace single damaged tiles instead of entire sections, and customize installations every 3 feet. The LockSafe system snaps together securely but separates easily for cleaning or repositioning.
Q: Are these tiles safe for food processing facilities?
A: The interlocking drainage tiles for food processing in Nitrile compound resist animal fats, vegetable oils, and sanitizing solutions common in food production. The open grid design provides superior drainage and airflow, preventing bacterial growth. Check with your facility requirements for specific food-grade certifications needed.
Q: Can I install these tiles over existing concrete or grating?
A: Yes, these tiles are installed over both concrete floors and open grating. The 3/4 In. thickness provides stability over grates while the modular design allows installation without adhesives. Simply interlock tiles and secure edges with optional ramping for a complete installation.
Q: What warranty comes with these industrial floor tiles?
A: These chemical resistant modular floor tiles for factories come with a standard warranty. Contact MATSonline for specific warranty details and coverage information based on your application and compound selection (Nitrile NBR or SBR).
Q: How thick are industrial drainage mats for heavy duty use?
A: These industrial drainage mats are 3/4 in (19 mm) thick, providing exceptional durability for heavy foot traffic, equipment, and even forklift use. This thickness ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments while maintaining drainage capabilities and slip resistance.
