April 30, 2004 — Shield Medicare, a leading manufacturer of sterile contamination control products and medical devices, has recently installed several large areas of Dycem contamination control floor coverings within its cleanroom facilities in South Wales.

Suzanne Stubbs, Shield Medicare’s Technical Manager said, ” We installed a piece of Dycem in our facility 12 months ago as part of our ongoing programme to control contamination. It was so effective at removing contamination from both feet and wheels that we decided to increase the number of Dycem areas as we built our additional cleanrooms and moved towards more controlled warehouse environments.”

Dycem manufacture a range of contamination control floor coverings and mat solutions, which have been independently tested and proven to prevent over 99% of contamination from entering a critical area. All Dycem products have a high surface energy creating short electro magnetic forces, which attract, collect and retain particulates.

Dycem’s, Alan Fisher, said, “we worked very closely with Shield Medicare to offer the best floor covering solutions for their facilities. The biggest threat to the standards of cleanliness in any facility, is contamination brought in on people’s feet and wheels of trolleys. Here, as in all controlled environments, particles, bacteria, fungi and other contaminants threaten product quality, productivity and company reputation. This problem can only be solved by installing a fully effective contamination control system”.

Shield Medicare is so pleased with the effectiveness of Dycem, that it has installed both Dycem CleanZone and Workzone within its facilities. Cleanzone can be fitted to any length or width, is permanently installed and is a cost effective method of controlling footborne contamination. Workzone, a heavy-duty contamination control floor covering, is specifically designed to remove and retain wheelborne contamination in controlled areas subject to heavy wheeled traffic such as forklifts, pallet trucks, large trolleys and carts.

Dycem is easy to clean and maintain. All you need to do is clean Dycem at the end of a shift or at the end of the day. Dycem products are silicon free, Dop free, non-outgassing and non-particulating. All products are simple to install, and remain effective for up to five years.

Suzanne Stubbs would recommend all companies evaluate Dycem. She said, “I have personally carried out tests which have shown how effective the Dycem is at removing contamination including bacteria, moulds and yeasts. I have also undertaken cleaning studies to demonstrate that all viable and non-viable particles can be easily and completed removed. I would suggest that anyone interested in controlling contamination should evaluate the Dycem material as soon as they can”.
