Sticky mats—also called tacky mats—are an essential line of defense against contamination in controlled environments. Designed with multiple adhesive layers, these mats actively capture and hold dirt, dust, pollen, and other particles from footwear or wheeled equipment as people enter critical areas. Each layer peels away easily when saturated, revealing a fresh, clean surface underneath. No scrubbing, no extra tools—just peel and go.
For cannabis cultivators, sticky mats are a simple yet highly effective biosecurity tool. Placed at the entrance to grow rooms or greenhouses, they reduce the risk of pests, pathogens, or mold spores being tracked in on shoes or carts. This is especially crucial for operations practicing integrated pest management (IPM) or those working to maintain a cleanroom-adjacent indoor grow. Sticky mats help preserve genetic integrity and crop quality while cutting down on the need for aggressive chemical treatments.
In manufacturing environments—particularly cannabis extraction labs and infused product kitchens—tacky mats play an equally important role. By minimizing particle transfer at entry points, they support GMP compliance and reduce the chances of product or process contamination. For cleanrooms, bottling lines, and packaging areas, sticky mats are a small investment with major payoffs in sanitation and safety.
