Frequent Asked Questions (FAQ) for the
Abzorb Mat
Please feel free to contact us at sales@ordermats.com if you have any additional questions.
1). What
is the Abzorb Mat made of? The super absorbent top side of the mat is made of polypropylene. The
backing is a non-penetrable vinyl. The two materials are heat bonded together. Polypropylene is the same
material used to clean-up ocean oil spills. The mat is about one-eight inch thick. It is non-flammable in it's
original state.
2). Is
there a difference in material depending upon what size I order? No, all products are the
same material as described above in both three
feet and six feet widths.
3). How do I cut the mat if it is
purchased in rolls? You can
easily cut the mat into the lengths you want with a sharp scissors or razor knife.
4) How often do I need to replace the
matting?
If you are using the mat to absorb oil (transmission fluids, motor oil, grease, etc)
replace the mat once it becomes saturated (fluid leaking over the edge). All other liquids such as antifreeze,
water, etc will evaporate. The mat will absorb as before.
5) Can the mat be used
outside? Yes. Rain does not affect the mat. It will absorb water but once it dries out it will
work just fine.
6) Can I wash the mat out? Yes, but we do not recommend it if it is saturated with oil. It is more
cost effective and environmentally sound to replace and recycle the mat. If the mat just has dirt on it you can
rinse it off with a hose and let it air dry or just vacuum it with a vacuum cleaner.
7) How
do I dispose of the matting? Dispose of in accordance with all local, federal and state laws.
Disposal procedures depend upon what the matting has absorbed.
8) If
the mat is used outside will it blow away? The Abzorb Mat is not heavy, a 3' x 5' mat only
weighs around 2 pounds. If you live in a windy area you will have to secure it.
9) When will my order ship?
We try to ship all orders within 48 hours on regular
business days.
10) How much
matting should I order? Measure the area you want to cover. If you need a custom size, just
email us. Custom sizes are no problem. The matting is only available in 3' and 6' widths and lengths up to
150'.
11) What if I need matting wider then
6'? We can only manufacture the
Abzorb Mat in three foot and six foot widths. Feel free to contact us to help you out on this.
12) What type
of guarantee comes with the product? All of our products carry a 100% satisfaction
