The cost of contamination

Invisible contamination. Visible consequences.

Most contamination is invisible until it shows up somewhere expensive: a failed audit, a rejected batch, a mat you're replacing again. Up to 80% of contamination entering controlled environments arrives at floor level, mostly on foot traffic and wheels. Source: Springer, "Contamination control in cleanrooms"

Failed audits

Entry points are one of the first things an auditor checks. Particulate found at the door puts the rest of the report under scrutiny.

Batch rejection and production loss

In pharmaceutical, semiconductor and F&B production, contamination at the entry point becomes contamination in the batch. One rejected run costs more than years of matting.

Recurring peel-off mat cost and waste

Peel-off mats lose grip fast and need constant sheet replacement. The cost doesn't stop after installation. It repeats every week.

How it works

How CC Matting captures contamination.

01

Step on.

The high-tack polymer surface picks up particles from footwear and wheels with every pass.

02

Particles held.

The tacky surface retains particles ranging from over 100 microns down to the nanometre range, so they don't transfer onward into the controlled area.

03

Clean and restore.

Mop and squeegee-dry the surface to remove captured contamination and restore full tack. No peeling, no sheets to replace.

Retains up to 99.9% of foot- and wheel-borne particles (per CC Matting information; actual performance depends on location, traffic and cleaning regime). The tack layer keeps working through repeated cleaning cycles across the mat's 4 to 5 year lifespan.

Sectors we serve

Built for the entry points where contamination costs the most.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Cleanroom entrances, gowning areas and production zones where GMP compliance starts at the door.

Semiconductor & electronics

Fabrication, receiving and gowning transition zones, where particle control protects yield.

Cleanrooms & laboratories

Airlocks and transition zones between corridor and controlled space.

Healthcare

Ward entrances and clinical transition points in hospitals and medical centres.

Food & beverage

Production entrances and central kitchens, where cross-contamination control matters at every shift change.

Case study

Case study: Gardenia.

Challenge. Gardenia, a leading Malaysian bakery manufacturer, was picking up dust and debris at its production entrances from foot traffic and the movement of trolleys and carts. Traditional cleaning wasn't fully clearing contaminants at the entry to their clean zones.

Solution. SGH installed custom-fitted CC Matting at key entry points to the production areas, designed to capture dust, dirt and other particles from shoes and wheels before they reach sensitive zones.

Ongoing testing. SGH runs an annual Particle Collection Efficiency Test (PCET) and tackiness test on the installation, with a full report after each round, so Gardenia has documentation on file year to year.

FAQ

Questions we hear most often.

What is CC Matting?
CC Matting is a reusable contamination-control mat for entry points. A high-tack polymer surface attracts, collects and retains particles carried in by footwear, wheels and equipment, unlike a disposable peel-off tacky mat.
How is it different from the peel-off sticky mats we already use?
Peel-off mats need frequent removal and replacement as their surface loads with contaminants. CC Matting is designed as a longer-life, cleanable solution: the surface is mopped and squeegee-dried to restore its tack instead of continually replacing disposable sheets, which reduces recurring cost and waste.
Your price is higher than a peel-off mat. Why should we switch?
The upfront cost is higher because you're installing a fitted, multi-year mat instead of buying disposable sheets. Over the mat's 4 to 5 year lifespan, you're not repeatedly buying and disposing of replacement sheets, which is where peel-off mats add up.
How effective is it at capturing particles from footwear and wheels?
CC Matting information states the technology can retain up to 99.9% of foot- and wheel-borne particles, with the surface capable of interacting with particles ranging from over 100 microns down to the nanometre range. Actual performance depends on installation location, traffic, footwear, wheel type and cleaning regime.
How is CC Matting cleaned and maintained?
Routine mopping and squeegee-drying removes accumulated contaminants and restores the tacky surface. There's no sheet to peel off and dispose of. SGH also runs an annual Particle Collection Efficiency Test (PCET) and tackiness test as part of after-sales support.
Can the installation be done without disrupting our operations?
Yes. A site assessment maps your traffic flow and entry points before installation, so fitting is scheduled around your operations. Contact us to discuss timing for your facility.
Do you have documentation to back this up?
Yes. Every installation comes with an annual PCET and tackiness test report. SGH also holds ISO 9001:2015 certification as a quality-managed supplier.
Do you provide support outside Kuala Lumpur?
SGH supports installations across Peninsular Malaysia, with local support and scheduled testing visits.
Can you custom-fit CC Matting to our entry points?
Yes. Every installation starts with a free site survey. We measure your entry points, corners and transitions, and fit the matting to size rather than using fixed standard panels.
What's the lifespan and warranty?
CC Matting has an expected lifespan of about 4 to 5 years under normal traffic with scheduled cleaning, and SGH backs every installation with a 2-year warranty.

Request a free site assessment.

A trained SGH consultant visits, measures your entry points and recommends a matting plan. No obligation.
