Design And Manufacture
The upper surface of the mat is a 100%-woven polypropylene mesh. This mesh is inert which means it will not shrink or warp and is UV resistant. The base of the mat is reinforced-PVC, for strength with UV resistance.
Sweetmats use Dabond thread, as it is specifically designed for harsh outdoor environments. Dabond is the industry standard for sail making, military supplies, tents and seat belt manufacture due to its overall strength.
A Proud History For Sweetmats
The original disinfection mats were designed by outdoor and technical fabric specialist, Peter Sweetman, in New Zealand, after he observed foot baths being used at the entrances to food processing facilities and other disease sensitive premises.
Sweetmats are now manufactured by the experienced Production Team at Shoof International Ltd, in Cambridge, New Zealand. An extended range of products is now available and mats are being exported across the world in response to biosecurity threats and disease outbreaks.
