Tool manufacturer Sandvik
Coromant has installed black
Vynagrip matting with yellow
edging in its Cirencester
works.Manufactured by
Plastic Extruders, the matting
provides a safe and slip
resistant surface underfoot for
employees working in the
large production areas.

Vynagrip covers the factory
floor, its yellow edging clearly
delineating the safe walkway.

The matting was chosen
because it can be loose laid
and contours over rough and
uneven floors, so it can be
used where floor levels change,
slope or cross thresholds. The
matting is very hard wearing,
can be easily rolled up to
facilitate cleaning and helps
combat standing fatigue over
prolonged periods.

The matting’s extra
aggressive and deep etched
surface, which is resistant to
oil, acid and chemicals,
achieves a high rating for slip
resistant performance (R11,
for surfaces with angle of
incline between 19 and 27°)
when tested to DIN 51130.

The open grid allows liquid
spills and production waste to
fall through, further reducing
the risk of slipping.
