In healthcare environments, contamination control is not optional, it is foundational. From operating theatres and ICUs to pharmaceutical manufacturing units and diagnostic labs, even microscopic particles can compromise patient safety, product integrity, and regulatory compliance. This is where Sticky Mats emerge as a silent but powerful line of defence.
Designed for Class 5 cleanrooms, the Sticky Mat from Miracle Industries plays a critical role in preventing the entry of dust, microbes, and other contaminants at transition points. More than a floor accessory, it functions as a contamination control system that supports infection prevention protocols across healthcare facilities.
What Is a Sticky Mat and Why Healthcare Facilities Depend on It
A sticky mat, also known as a tacky mat or cleanroom adhesive mat, is placed at entry and exit points of controlled areas. As personnel or equipment passes over it, the mat traps dirt and particles from footwear and wheels before they enter sterile zones.
In hospitals and clean manufacturing environments, this simple intervention significantly reduces airborne and surface contamination without disrupting workflow.
Layer-by-Layer Protection: Engineered for Precision Cleanliness
30 Numbered Layers for Controlled Hygiene
Each Sticky Mat consists of 30 individually numbered layers, allowing staff to easily track usage and peel away soiled layers when needed. This ensures consistent performance and eliminates guesswork in cleanliness maintenance.
Single-use layers reduce cross-contamination risk and align well with healthcare infection-control SOPs.
Antibacterial Adhesion That’s Safe and Responsible
Water-Based, Antibacterial Adhesive
Unlike industrial adhesives that may release harmful residues, this Sticky Mat uses a water-based antibacterial adhesive. It captures contaminants effectively while remaining environmentally responsible and safe for sensitive healthcare environments.
This is especially critical in areas such as:
- Operating theatres
- ICUs and isolation wards
- Pharmaceutical cleanrooms
- Medical device manufacturing units
Effortless Particle Removal from Footwear and Equipment
Designed for Human and Machine Traffic
The mat efficiently removes:
- Dust and lint from footwear
- Micro-particles from trolley and wheelchair wheels
- Residual debris from carts and equipment
This makes it ideal for high-traffic healthcare zones where continuous contamination control is required without slowing down operations.
Superior LDPE Construction for Long-Term Reliability
High-Grade LDPE with Antibacterial Finish
Manufactured using low-density polyethylene (LDPE), the Sticky Mat combines durability with hygiene. The antibacterial surface treatment further enhances infection prevention, making it suitable for prolonged use in demanding environments.
LDPE also ensures:
- Tear resistance
- Dimensional stability
- Consistent adhesion across layers
Optimised Adhesive Strength for Maximum Capture
Upper Layers: Fine Particle Control
The top layers feature a PE film with water-based acrylic adhesive, offering an adhesive force of 180g / 25mm ± 40g. This level of tackiness is ideal for capturing fine dust and micro-particles without damaging footwear or wheels.
Lower Layers: Firm Floor Stability
The LDPE backing layers provide stronger adhesion—600g / 25mm ± 100g—ensuring the mat stays securely in place even in high-movement zones. This prevents slipping, curling, or displacement during use.
Safe, Non-Toxic, and Compliant by Design
Healthcare environments demand materials that do not introduce new risks. The LDPE Sticky Mat is:
- pH neutral
- Non-flammable
- Non-toxic
- Non-caustic
This safety-first composition aligns with stringent hospital protocols and cleanroom standards, offering peace of mind to infection-control teams and facility managers.
Built for Longevity and Sustainable Use
With an extended shelf life and no harmful chemicals, the Sticky Mat supports sustainable healthcare practices. Its efficient design reduces frequent replacements while maintaining high contamination-control performance—making it both cost-effective and environmentally conscious.
Available Sizes to Match Your Cleanroom Needs
The Sticky Mat from Miracle Industries is available in multiple configurations to suit different healthcare and cleanroom layouts:

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where should sticky mats be placed in healthcare facilities?
Sticky mats should be placed at entry and exit points of cleanrooms, OTs, ICUs, and sterile zones to trap contaminants before they enter controlled areas.
2. How often should a sticky mat layer be replaced?
Each layer should be replaced once it becomes visibly soiled or loses tackiness, ensuring consistent contamination control.
3. Are sticky mats safe for hospital environments?
Yes. The LDPE Sticky Mats are non-toxic, non-flammable, pH neutral, and use water-based antibacterial adhesives, making them safe for healthcare use.
