The Goodyear Rubber “Fishbone-Pattern” outdoor flooring takes sub-floor protection to the next level. These protective mats are made from 100% Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) and feature a zigzag “fishbone” design for the highest slip-resistance possible. At 3.5mm thick, the material can be easily cut with a utility knife to ensure proper fitting for any application. These traction mats are available in 6 factory cut lengths ranging from 4ft to 25ft to cover a space of any desired size.
Heavy-Duty Floor Protection: The primary function of this non-slip flooring is to act as a protective barrier for sensitive sub-floors. SBR is known for its intense durability and abrasion resistance, making it a great choice for outdoor flooring. The material absorbs movement and takes the abuse of impacts and foot traffic so that sensitive sub-floors don’t have to. These protective mats offer industrial level strength to lessen impact, absorb vibrations, and muffle sound.
Extra Layer of Slip-Resistance: What makes these traction mats truly unique is their “Fishbone-Pattern” surface texture, which features symmetrical zigzagging lines. While the SBR material has a degree of natural grip to it, this design enhances traction even further for multidirectional slip-resistance in the presence of moisture. The alternating grooves in this non-slip flooring also serve as effective shoe-scrapers, pulling out dirt and debris to provide the safest walking surface possible.
All-Weather Versatility: Because these durable traction mats are made from SBR, there are no weather conditions they cannot handle! SBR is the same material that is used to make vehicle tires, which means this non-slip flooring has excellent resistances to moisture, impacts, abrasions, UV rays, and ozone. Rain, sleet, snow, and hail are no match for this heavy-duty rubber. With the unique “fishbone” design, these traction mats are the perfect way to increase safety in both indoor and outdoor flooring applications. The material even has moderate resistance to mild chemicals, making it easy to clean with most household cleaning solutions.

Description:
Made from 100% SBR, these rubber flooring rolls are durable and affordable. Sold in 6 varied
lengths from 4ft to 25ft long, it is the ideal rubber floor when floor protection and slip resistance
are the primary concerns. The herringbone pattern is an arrangement of rectangles in a zigzag
formation, so named for a fancied resemblance to the bones of fish (i.e. herring).

REACH Compliant:
This product is REACH compliant. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization,
and Restriction of Chemicals. It is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the
protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals.
It also promotes alternative methods for the hazard assessment of substances.
RoHS Compliant:
This product is RoHS compliant. RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. RoHS,
also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of
specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products (known as EEE). All
applicable products in the EU market after July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance. The
substances banned under RoHS are lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent
chromium (CrVI), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE),
and four different phthalates (DEHP, BBP, BBP, DIBP).
The restricted materials are hazardous to the environment and pollute landfills, and are
dangerous in terms of occupational exposure during manufacturing and recycling.
Non-Slip Qualities:
Adding rubber floors is a simple and affordable way to quickly add non-slip protection to
problem areas. In 2015 alone, more than one in four older adults reported falling and more than
28,000 older adults died as a result of falls. Injury from falls can easily be reduced by using
rubber floors. This Fishbone-Pattern rubber mat adds an extra layer of anti-slip quality via the
herringbone surface design. The zigzags remove dirt and debris from feet and add grip to the
rubber’s natural traction surface.
Multiple Lengths:
The six available lengths allow for ease of installation and reduce the overall costs of onsite
installation. The availability of varied lengths allows the consumer to purchase seamless
lengths. This product can easily be cut using a utility knife, which makes for a product that can
easily be customized as needed.
SBR Rubber:
Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), a general-purpose synthetic rubber, is produced from a
copolymer of styrene and butadiene. Exceeding all other synthetic rubbers in consumption, SBR
is used in great quantities in automobile and truck tires, generally as an abrasion-resistant
replacement for natural rubber.
For many purposes, SBR directly replaces natural rubber, the choice depending simply on
economics. Its particular advantages include excellent abrasion resistance, crack resistance, and
generally better aging characteristics. Like natural rubber, SBR is swollen and weakened by
hydrocarbon oils and is degraded over time by atmospheric oxygen and ozone.
Grip Mat:
The amount of traction between two surfaces depends on a few factors:
1- The type of materials used in each of the two surfaces coming together. Current theories
suggest that when rubber moves over smooth surfaces, it is the molecular forces between the
two that are the main cause of friction. But when the surface is rough, it is the deformation of
entire molecular layers of rubber that is the chief cause of friction. Rubber is the ideal surface
for floor safety and added traction, especially considering that most shoes now have rubber soles
as well.
2- The surface texture of the two materials that are in contact. As surface textures become
coarser, they have more grip. A coefficient of friction is a constant that describes the “gripiness”
of two surfaces sliding against one another. This is not a function of a single surface, but of two
surfaces. The coarser a rubber surface is, the more grip and the higher the coefficient of friction
it will have when it comes in contact with other materials.
3- The contaminants at the materials’ boundary. In other words, the less moisture, grease, dirt
and other debris are around, the less the possibility of lowering the grip qualities of a rubber
mat.
Easy to Clean Floors:
This durable floor resists common liquids making it an excellent watertight surface that will
prevent the growth of mold and mildew. This keeps moisture on the mat’s surface and reduces
the need for cleaning in aisleways and commercial entryways. Clean these rubber rolls with
common commercial or household-cleaning products or with a mop or broom.
