A cleanroom sticky mat sits at the door and strips particles off shoe soles and trolley wheels before they enter the controlled space. Phil Industries holds the common sizes ex-stock in Singapore with same-day quotation.
🧹 How a sticky mat earns its place
Footfall carries most of the particle load into a cleanroom. A tacky mat is the cheapest control you can install.
- Peel the top layer when it loads up — no cleaning, no downtime
- Numbered layers so operators can see when to peel
- Works for trolley wheels as well as shoe soles
- Pair with a sticky roller for garments and gloves

❓ Frequently asked questions
What is a sticky mat and how does it work?
A sticky mat (also called a tacky mat or cleanroom adhesive mat) is a pad of thin adhesive sheets laid at a cleanroom or EPA entrance. Each sheet pulls dust and particles off shoe soles and trolley wheels, so contamination stays outside. When the top sheet is full you peel it away to expose a fresh one; most pads carry around 30 numbered layers, and the exact count is listed on each product page.
How often should a layer be peeled?
When the surface stops feeling tacky or looks visibly loaded. High-traffic doors often need one layer per shift.
Do I need an ESD version?
Only if the mat sits inside an EPA. Standard mats are fine at a general cleanroom entrance.
What size should I order?
Big enough that both feet contact the mat at least twice while walking. 26″×45″ suits most single doors; 36″×60″ for trolley traffic.
Do you stock these in Singapore?
Yes, the three standard sizes are ex-stock. Antimicrobial and ESD variants run one to two weeks.
