Safety on steroids – GMC’s
double-thickness Ultra-Soft Diamond Plate offers ultimate
comfort
 A new safety, ergonomic and anti-fatigue mat that is twice
as thick as typical counterparts has been released by
the General Mat Company.
Ultra-Soft Diamond Plate No 414 – to be featured
on the GMC Stand No. 518 at National Manufacturing Week
from June 1-4 – is intended for ultimate comfort
in all dry work areas.
The 80mm (five-sixteenths of an inch) thick general purpose
mat comes with bevelled edges for safety and a very high,
non-slip friction coefficient of .68 Dry per American Standard
ASTM F1677.
Featuring GMC’s best-selling diamond plate tough
vinyl surface on its double-thick Nitricel® sponge
base, Ultra-Soft Diamond Plate No 414 is particularly suitable
for manufacturing industries with an ageing workforce,
says GMC Managing Director Mr Michael Siegle.
“As the ageing Baby Boom generation passes through
Australia’s industry there is an increasing risk
of slip, fall and strain injuries that this product addresses,” he
says. “In addition to offering safety on steroids
comfort levels, this mat is very durable with a high Tabor
abrasion performance of one per cent losses at 1000 cycles
(as per Federal Standard 193 – Tabor tests determine
how well a mat will hold up to heavy use. The less weight
a sample loses, the more durable the product tends to be).

Manufactured by one of the world’s leading safety
and anti-fatigue mat specialists, The Tennessee Mat Company,
Ultra-Soft Diamond plate No 414 will be available in black
and black with yellow chevron edging in a range of stock
sizes as well as being cut to custom lengths.
It will feature in GMC’s new catalogue to be released
mid-year, showing Australia’s most comprehensive
range of safety, ergonomic and anti-fatigue mats.
