Hillyard Gator® Brand Matting Entry Way Matting Systems The Gator Brand Difference - It’s In The Fiber! More Fiber! Hillyard Gator Brand Packed with 37 or 52 ounces of face weight per square yard, Gator brand absorbs more water, lasts longer, and looks better over a longer period of time! Coarse, Thick Dense Fiber! Provides excellent scraping action for maximum soil removal. Greater crush and abrasion resistance means Gator brand matting systems last longer! More Fiber 100% Polypropylene Fiber! Non-porous, fade resistant, stain resistant and highly resilient. All qualities that lead to better looking, longer lasting and better performing matting! Typical Heavy Duty Matting Less Fiber, More Rubber Fill! Doesn’t retain as much water, leaving more slop to clean up and greater potential for slip/falls on slick floors! Finer, Thinner Fiber! Doesn’t provide the scraping action to remove and trap soil. More susceptible to crushing and abrasion, hindering the ability to remove soil, and limiting the life expectancy of the mat. Typical Heavy Duty Matting Hillyard Gator Brand Typical heavy duty matting relies on rubber fill to create a “dam” around the mat. This dam basically creates a “swimming pool” effect where water is contained - just like in a pool. Because there is less fiber, and more rubber, water is “pooled” and not absorbed under the mat surface. When someone walks across the mat their shoes will stay wet and track the slop into your building. Even worse, shoes that may have been dry coming in now “take a jump in the pool” and track the slop into your building. Gator Brand has so much fiber, it retains water below the surface, and scrapes dirt and debris from shoes before the dirt has a chance to enter your building.
