Understanding Mat Materials: Nylon vs. Rubber vs. PET
Nylon (Premium Performance Fiber)

Â
Nylon is the industry standard for commercial and residential indoor mats.
-
Exceptional crush resistance
-
Fibers rebound after heavy traffic
-
Produces the sharpest logo clarity
-
Deep, vibrant color saturation
This material is used in DigiPrint HD logo mats for high-definition artwork and detailed branding.
Rubber (Heavy-Duty Protection)

Rubber mats excel in outdoor and industrial environments.
-
Fully waterproof
-
Resistant to oils, chemicals, and extreme temperatures
-
Maximum slip resistance
-
Ideal for SuperScrape and outdoor scraping mats
PET (Eco-Friendly Polyester)

Often made from recycled materials.
-
Naturally stain-resistant
-
Dries quickly
-
Excellent value for moderate-traffic environments
-
Ideal for residential and light commercial use
Backing Systems: The Foundation of Durability
Nitrile Rubber (Commercial Grade Standard)
The most important upgrade for long-term performance.
-
Grease-proof
-
Won’t crack, curl, or harden
-
Maintains flexibility in hot and cold climates
-
Keeps mats from creeping or shifting
Vinyl / PVC (Economy Option)
Suitable for low-traffic areas only.
-
Less flexible over time
-
Can ripple or curl at edges with temperature changes
Cleated vs. Smooth Backing
| Surface Type | Recommended Backing |
|---|---|
| Carpet | Cleated |
| Tile / Wood / Concrete | Smooth Nitrile |
Indoor vs. Outdoor Mats: Choosing the Right Environment
Outdoor Mats – Scraping Power
