Keep Your Cleanroom Protected with Sticky Mats from MTE Solutions

Aug 28, 2025

When it comes to cleanroom performance, the smallest details can make the biggest difference. One of the simplest yet most effective tools for controlling contamination is the cleanroom sticky mat. At MTE Solutions, we offer a wide selection of sticky mats designed to help keep your critical environments clean, compliant, and efficient.


What Are Cleanroom Sticky Mats?

Sticky mats are multi-layered adhesive mats placed at the entrances of cleanrooms, gowning areas, and other controlled environments. Each layer captures dust, dirt, and particles from shoe soles and cart wheels before they can enter sensitive areas. When the top layer becomes soiled, it’s easily peeled away to reveal a fresh, clean surface.


Why Sticky Mats Are Essential

Every person and cart that enters your cleanroom has the potential to introduce contaminants. Even with proper gowning protocols, foot traffic remains a top source of particle transfer. Sticky mats act as your first line of defense against contamination, offering key benefits such as:

  • 🚫 Reduced particle transfer into controlled environments

  • 💡 Compliance with ISO cleanroom standards

  • Extended life of cleanroom flooring and equipment

  • 💵 Cost savings by preventing rework, defects, and downtime


How to Use Sticky Mats Effectively

To get the most out of your sticky mats, follow these simple best practices:

  1. Placement – Position mats at every cleanroom entry point or high-traffic zone.

  2. Proper Foot Contact – Ensure personnel step fully onto the mat, with a slight twist to maximize particle capture.

  3. For Carts – Roll all wheels completely across the mat surface.

  4. Regular Layer Removal – Replace the top sheet once it looks dirty or loses tack, maintaining peak performance.


Risks of Skipping Sticky Mats

Not using sticky mats—or using them incorrectly—can lead to:

  • Higher contamination levels and increased product defects

  • Equipment issues caused by particles or debris

  • Failure to meet audit or compliance requirements

  • Costly waste from scrapped materials and rework

In industries like electronics, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and medical device manufacturing, even microscopic contamination can lead to major setbacks. Sticky mats provide simple, affordable protection against those risks.
