Rain Control / Dust Control
Brushes the dirt off shoe soles and keeps it in dust pockets.
The opening among piles of the carpet tile is called a dust pocket, and the dirt will drop from shoe soles and accumulate in this dust pocket. Because of the large dust pockets, DC-1100 can absorb a larger amount of dust and sand compared to ordinary carpet tiles.

DC-1100 has a large dust pocket, and the ample opening will make the vacuum maintenance much easier compared to ordinary carpet tiles. And the dust pocket is kept well by durable piles to help continuous performance of maintenance.

Dust pocket prevents dirt and sand from overflowing the surface of carpet tile. For removing 90% dirt from the shoe soles, approx. 5 m walk is necessary on ordinary carpet tile, while only 2 m walk suffices on DC-1100.

DC-1100 is more resistant against flattening than ordinary carpet tiles, because of solution dyed nylon being tangled with thick nylon yarns. As a result, the capacity of the dust pocket is maintained and the dust removal function continues for a long time.

Unique pile technology absorbs water from shoe soles and prevents it from being brought indoors.
RC-1200 piles are mixed with fine threads that absorbs moisture easily. 93% of moisture is absorbed from shoe soles by about 2m walking on, which is impossible by ordinary carpet tiles.
<Test method>
Hydrophilic coating of RC-1200 yarn helps to remove dirt easily and absorb moisture quickly. Therefore, water penetrates between the fiber surface and the dirty material, which makes it easier to remove the dirt after adhesion to fibers. In addition, it has excellent capacity to quickly absorb water.
RC-1200 is designed with a high-density pile that resists flattening by stepping on. Unlike ordinary water-absorbent mats, it will retain the absorbed moisture and will not allow the moisture to transfer indoors
<Test method>
The 1st backing of RC-1200 is highly effective in spreading absorbed water horizontally. By enlarging the superficial area where water is exposed to the air, it will be dried up more quickly.
<Test method>
50ml water is dropped on each test piece of 500 mm square size. After 24 hours’ preservation under the specified condition (20C, 60%RH), measure the weight to check the evaporated moisture from each tile.
