Research on comfort of antistatic and anti-fatigue floor mats
The anti-fatigue mat will make people who stand for a long time feel the comfort and can effectively relieve the leg pressure. Anti-fatigue floor mats are non-metal composite materials, which are usually three-layer combination or two-layer combination. The surface layer is a steel or non-slip material with a steel pattern made of PVC or rubber. The middle layer is a polymer foam material with certain cushioning properties and strength. The bottom layer is a conductive rubber material. Its anti-fatigue performance mainly refers to the polymer foam material of the middle layer. The change in thickness also refers to the change in the thickness of the intermediate layer. It has a great relationship with the adhesive strength of the surface and bottom materials, whether the foam layer is a single layer or two or more layers, and the foam density (foam size), hardness, tensile strength, and material of the foam . There is also a certain correlation between thickness and fatigue resistance, as well as the cushioning capacity of the foamed material. But by no means the thicker the better!
Many domestic manufacturers of anti-fatigue floor mats use a poor quality material as the anti-fatigue foam layer. They also often use thickened intermediate layers to improve so-called fatigue resistance, just to reduce costs. The identification is very simple, cut the anti-fatigue mat, look at the cross section, and feel the hardness and elasticity of the intermediate layer.
