ZipWall New Mat Controls Dust

ZipWall's new product is the firm's latest addition to its comprehensive Dust Barrier System. The mat prevents the tracking of dust in and out of the work area with an adhesive surface that captures dust from shoe soles, and is strong enough to remove dust from casters and wheels.

Each ZipWall Mat Starter Kit features a durable, reusable, non-skid base that prevents shifting and sliding and includes a pad of 30 individually tabbed and numbered adhesive sheets. (Base dimensions: 25"×37"; mat dimensions: 24"×36").

The EPA recommends the use of tacky mats to help comply with its Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule), which requires that renovation firms use precautions to ensure that all personnel, tools, and other items are free of dust and debris before leaving the work area.
