Dycem, How It Works

Size

• Contamination on feet and wheels comes in multiple layers and varying sizes, requiring multiple steps for complete decontamination.
• Effective decontamination needs at least six footfalls, three for each foot, or three full wheel rotations.
• Dycem High Performance Contamination Control Zones are sized to allow for full decontamination whatever the traffic flow.

Suppleness

• Dycem's soft, supple surface conforms to the shoe or wheel allowing contact with smaller particles that would otherwise be bridged by larger particles.
• This also allows a dense packing of particles so the surface remains effective even after continuous overstrikes in the same area.

Smoothness

• Dycem's exceptionally smooth surface creates a natural tack and a high degree of short-range electromagnetic forces (Van der Waals).
• This enables it to attract, collect and retain over 99% of particles, ranging from over 100 microns to less than 0.2 microns.
• This contamination is held on the surface until cleaned off.

Silver

• Dycem contains a silver based anti microbial manufactured by BioMaster. Silver is widely accepted as having broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
• The test list here highlights the main strains tested and their properties.  This range has been successfully tested on over 50 different organisms in over 2,000 applications.
