Sticky mats are placed at cleanroom entrances to capture dust, dirt, and debris from shoe soles and cart wheels before they cross into controlled environments.
Sticky mats, also known as tacky mat or cleanroom mats are nothing but compressed layers of polyethylene film with an adhesive surface that is placed at the entrances or exits of cleanrooms to remove contaminants from the bottoms of footwear and wheeled carts.

People sometimes think contamination control starts inside the room, but in reality, it often starts at the door.
The moment a person walks into a controlled space, they bring the outside world with them unless there is some form of barrier in place.
Shoes pick up dust from hallways, packaging areas, loading zones, and general walkways. Wheels collect even more than most people realize. A sticky mat helps stop that transfer before it becomes a bigger issue.

That depends on traffic volume and the amount of dirt entering the area.
In high-traffic spaces, disposable layers may need to be changed more frequently, while washable mats should be cleaned whenever the surface becomes visibly dirty or less effective.

Adhesive mats are effective for capturing contaminants before they enter cleanrooms, but only when sized, placed, and maintained correctly. They work best alongside other controls like clean footwear, wheel cleaning, and floor preparation.
