• Significant reduction in physical stress (Level 3): The special elastic compound in SBR/NBR rubber cushions body weight by stimulating constant micro-movements of the legs, improving blood circulation and reducing lower back fatigue.
• Excellent grip in wet environments (Level 4): The surface finish with circular elements combined with the material configuration ensures a high coefficient of friction under the sole, protecting personnel from dangerous losses of balance.
• Instant drainage of process fluids: The open-hole structure allows liquids, oils, or emulsions accidentally spilled to fall below the walking surface, keeping the foot support area always dry and safe.
• Active prevention of tripping risks: The perimeter edges of the mat are shaped with a bevelled ramp that eliminates the sharp 1.3 cm step, facilitating foot passage and the possible transit of small manual carts.
• Extreme thermal resistance and versatility: The wide certified operating range (from -20 °C to +130 °C) allows the mat to be used both in industrial cold rooms and near ovens, presses, or high-temperature molding plants.
• Certified ecological choice for the company: The use of a percentage of recycled rubber greater than 33% allows companies to meet environmental sustainability requirements without sacrificing mechanical strength (wear level 4).

This perforated anti-fatigue mat finds its optimal placement in industrial environments, machine shops, packaging areas, and assembly lines where operators are forced to stay in the same position for many consecutive hours. It is a fundamental device for machining areas exposed to water or coolant spills, in the back counters of bars and catering, and near machine tools (lathes, milling machines). Thanks to its extended thermal resistance up to +130 °C and the draining bottom, it is also suitable for setting up washing or plastic molding stations, ensuring stable and safe positioning on any industrial flooring.

The h1043_29 model is the right choice when a heavy-duty (weight 9 kg) and draining anti-fatigue solution is needed that does not require fixed installation, as it can be positioned or removed as needed with extreme ease. It represents the ideal answer compared to smooth mats when the operating environment is subject to the constant presence of liquids, offering an official EN 13552 Category R10 anti-slip certification for the legal protection of the company. Choosing this mat means investing in a high-durability product (wear level 4) that combines the ergonomics of an elastic rubber weave with the total safety guaranteed by the integrated bevelled edges.

What does compliance with the EN 13552 Category R10 standard indicated for this mat certify?

Compliance with the EN 13552 Category R10 standard certifies that the mat has passed European slip resistance tests on inclined planes covered with lubricating substances. The R10 value indicates a medium-high degree of grip, specific for industrial work environments where there is an ordinary risk of the presence of liquids or moisture on the walking surface.

Does the NBR/SBR rubber from which the mat is manufactured resist contact with hydraulic oils and hydrocarbons?

The SBR rubber weave combined with the NBR polymer (Nitrile Rubber) is formulated to offer excellent resistance to mechanical wear (level 4) and basic chemical aggression, including mineral oils, coolants, and water. For massive and continuous spills of pure hydrocarbons or concentrated industrial solvents, it is recommended to periodically clean the mat to preserve its structural elasticity.

Is the weight of 9 kg sufficient to ensure that the mat does not move during operator movements?

Yes, the net weight of 9 kg distributed over a surface of 90x150 cm, combined with the natural coefficient of friction of the rubber on the floor and the suction cup design of the lower elements, ensures perfect anchoring to the ground. The mat remains firmly in place under the operator’s feet without slipping or shifting during normal rotations and work maneuvers.
