Industry motors on with matting

Flexigrid safety matting from Plastic Extruders, is helping to support the recent resurgence in the UK car industry. With nearly half a million cars built in the first four months of this year, production is being increased and some plants are now operating 24 hours a day seven days a week. All this activity means that safety underfoot is increasingly critical.

Flexigrid is specially designed for harsh environments to provide safety underfoot and to particularly minimise the risk of slipping and tripping. The matting has a deeply etched wearing surface which is rated a high R11 slip resistance. Not only is it resistant to dirt, grease, grime and production waste but its open grid allows spillages such as oils, liquids and swarf to fall through, making them less hazardous for workers.

Flexigrid is an environmentally friendly product made from 100% post-industrial recycled PVC material, which in turn is recyclable at the end of its life.
