For 60 trusted years of contamination control, here are 60 reasons why Dycem is the best approach for floor-level contamination control:

1. Proven effectiveness of up to 99.9 percent contamination capture in appropriate applications
2. Captures contamination at the floor level where most contamination enters
3. Reduces airborne particulate by up to 75%
4. Focused on prevention rather than reaction at the point of entry
5. Reduces contamination transfer deeper into facilities
6. Minimizes cross-contamination between zones
7. Naturally tacky polymer surface that attracts and retains particles
8. Maintains performance even when visibly dirty
9. Cleaning restores performance rather than removing product
10. Washable and easy to clean using approved detergents
11. Compatible with GMP and cleanroom cleaning protocols
12. Designed to support compliance with ISO 14644 cleanroom standards
13. Peer reviewed and independently tested performance data available
14. Easy to validate as part of a contamination control plan
15. Ongoing performance validation supported through testing and technical documentation
16. Typical service life of 3 to 5 years depending on environment
17. Lower total cost of ownership over time
18. No consumables to stock, track, or reorder
19. Reduces labor associated with maintenance and replacement
20. No downtime caused by replacing layers or refilling baths
21. Works passively and continuously
22. Does not require users to change habits or slow down
23. Performs without requiring power, sensors, or automation
24. Significantly reduces plastic waste compared to disposable systems
25. Does not generate secondary waste streams
26. Helps facilities meet sustainability and waste reduction goals
27. Reduces reliance on disposable PPE like shoe covers
28. Designed for both pedestrian and wheeled traffic
29. Effective for carts, trolleys, forklifts, and pallet jacks
30. Reliable in high-traffic and high-risk areas
31. Performs consistently across shifts and operators
32. Works in dry environments where footbaths fail
33. Stable surface that does not curl, tear, or bunch
34. Resistant to tearing, puncturing, and edge failure
35. Low profile, securely installed systems that remain stable under foot and wheeled traffic
36. Eliminates trip hazards common with peel-off mats
37. Reduces slip, trip, and fall risks compared to alternatives
38. Supports safer working conditions for staff
39. No adhesive transfer to shoes, wheels, or floors
40. No particle redistribution from peeling or lifting layers
41. Effective as both an entry and internal control measure
42. Flexible placement across entrances, airlocks, and critical pathways
43. Custom sizing and edging options for site-specific layouts
44. Adaptable as facility layouts and risks change
45. Professional appearance suitable for audited environments
46. Used globally across pharma, biotech, food, electronics, and data centers
47. Backed by a long history of polymer expertise
48. Engineered polymer technology purpose-built for floor-level contamination control
49. Polymeric surface engineered to inhibit microbial growth rather than rely on disposable treatments
50. Does not degrade with normal cleaning when using approved agents
51. Supported by technical documentation and cleaning guidance
52. Manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified systems with REACH and California Prop 65 compliance
