Advanced Pile Technology
HydroTX™ Moisture Control
Absorbs up to 3× more moisture in the first few steps. Engineered pile construction that pulls water from shoe sole grooves.
What is HydroTX™?
HydroTX™ is an advanced nylon pile construction engineered specifically for rapid moisture absorption. Unlike conventional entrance mats that rely on running metres to dry footwear, HydroTX captures water in the first few steps.
The technology addresses a fundamental problem: moisture often hides in the grooves of profiled shoe soles, bypassing standard mat surfaces. HydroTX pile construction actively penetrates these grooves, extracting trapped water before it reaches interior floors.
Developed for heavy commercial use (Class 33), HydroTX delivers superior moisture control without sacrificing durability or appearance retention in high-traffic environments.
Why Conventional Mats Fall Short
The moisture you don't capture in the first steps ends up on your floors.
Standard Mat Limitations
- Require 4-6 metres of running length to effectively dry footwear
- Surface pile only contacts flat sole areas — grooves retain water
- Slow absorption rate means moisture tracks past the mat zone
- Most facilities lack space for recommended mat lengths
The HydroTX™ Advantage
- Captures up to 3× more moisture during the first few steps
- Pile construction actively penetrates shoe sole grooves
- Faster absorption rate protects floors in space-constrained entries
- Class 33 rated for heavy commercial traffic durability
How HydroTX™ Works
Engineered pile geometry for maximum moisture extraction.
Contact
Dense nylon pile makes immediate contact with the full shoe sole surface, including textured and grooved areas.
Penetrate
Pile fibres reach into shoe sole grooves where moisture hides, mechanically extracting trapped water.
Absorb
Extracted moisture is rapidly wicked into the pile structure, away from the walking surface and into the mat body.
What This Means for Your Facility
Better moisture control with less mat real estate.
Reduced Slip Risk
More moisture captured at the entrance means less water tracked onto hard floors. Fewer wet floor incidents, lower liability exposure.
Space Efficiency
Achieve effective moisture control in entries where standard 4-6 metre mat runs aren't practical. Ideal for constrained vestibules.
Reduced Maintenance
Less moisture on interior floors means less mopping, fewer wet floor signs, and lower housekeeping labor during inclement weather.
Floor Protection
Moisture accelerates wear on hard flooring, especially in high-traffic zones. Better capture at entry extends floor life.
Class 33 Durability
Heavy commercial rating means HydroTX maintains performance in demanding environments — hospitals, schools, retail, transit.
Canadian Climate Ready
Designed for environments with significant seasonal moisture — rain, slush, and snow. Performs when you need it most.
