WaterHog Silver mats feature the unique bi-level design that made WaterHog mats famous, with a new anti-microbial surface that reduces bacteria growth by 99%!

• Anti-Microbial – Woven with a unique silver ion anti-microbial fiber, WaterHog Silver mats offer added protection from odor-causing bacteria
• Dirt & Moisture Control – Bi-level surface effectively scrapes dirt and moisture from shoes, trapping it beneath shoe level to prevent tracking; water dam border holds moisture keeping it off your floors (WaterHog mats can hold up to 1.5 gallons of water per square yard)
• Durable – Reinforced rubber nubs prevent pile from crushing and extend the performance life of the mat
  Fade & Stain Resistant – Solution-dyed PET fabric (30 ounces per square yard) is resistant to staining, dries quickly, and will not fade or rot
• Safe – Beveled edges provide a safe transition from floor to mat; WaterHog products are certified high traction by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI)
• Eco-Friendly – SBR rubber backing contains 20% post-consumer recycled rubber from car tires; PET surface is made from 97% recycled materials
• Available in colors with choice of classic (rubber) border
• Feature 78-mil SBR rubber with universal cleated backing or smooth backing

WaterHog Silver features a zirconium phosphate-based ceramic ion-exchange resin that contains silver. This resin is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms that cause discoloration, odor, biofouling, and other aesthetic problems. In independent tests conducted by The MicroStar Lab, WaterHog Silver reduced bacteria growth by more than 99%. During testing, WaterHog Silver mat swatches are placed in a sterile container, inoculated with bacteria^, and incubated for a specified time. After incubation, colonies of recovered bacteria are counted and used to determine percent reductions. In the WaterHog Silver test, less than 1% of the bacteria remained; more than 99% had been reduced.

^Specifically the klebsiella pneumoniae and staphylococcusaureus bacteria

Please note, mat sizes are approximate as rubber shrinks and expands in conjunction with temperature and time. Tolerable manufacturing size variance is 3-5%.
