WaterHog Max Diamond Mat

Description

Why WaterHog Max Diamond Mat?

WaterHog Max Diamond Mat elevates the WaterHog formula with two significant upgrades: heavier 30 oz PET fabric for more aggressive performance, and construction from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles for maximum environmental credentials.

Every 3′ x 5′ mat diverts approximately 60 plastic bottles from landfills. The rubber backing contains 20% recycled car tire rubber. If your facility prioritizes sustainability alongside performance, Max Diamond delivers both without compromise.

The diamond pattern isn’t just aesthetic — it provides multi-directional scraping action. In high-traffic commercial entrances where visitors approach from multiple angles (revolving doors, wide lobbies, building atriums), the diamond pattern catches debris regardless of approach direction.

Key Features

Heavier 30 oz PET Fabric More aggressive scraping and faster moisture wicking than standard 24 oz WaterHog. The additional fabric weight delivers better performance in demanding commercial environments.

100% Recycled Content Surface fabric made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET (plastic bottles). Every 3′ x 5′ mat diverts ~60 bottles from landfills.

Diamond Pattern Multi-directional scraping action captures debris from any approach angle. Ideal for wide entrances and high-traffic lobbies.

Bi-Level Design Raised rubber nubs scrape shoes clean; recessed channels trap dirt and moisture below shoe level.

Water Dam Border Raised border contains moisture — holds up to 1.5 gallons per square yard.

Indoor/Outdoor Use Durable PET polyester construction handles both applications. Not adversely affected by salt or ice melt.

NFSI Certified High-Traction Tested and certified slip-resistant by the National Floor Safety Institute.

Eco-Friendly Backing SBR rubber backing contains 20% post-consumer recycled rubber from car tires.

FAQs

Max Diamond has heavier 30 oz fabric (vs 24 oz) and 100% recycled PET content. It also pairs with Max Grand half ovals to create curved entrance configurations.

Can I add half ovals to create a grand entrance?

Yes. The PET polyester face is suitable for indoor or outdoor use and is not adversely affected by salt or ice melt.

How many plastic bottles does each mat divert from landfills?
Approximately 60 bottles per 3′ x 5′ mat.

Why only 7 colors vs 19 for standard WaterHog Diamond?
