(1997) GritWorks!® on molded rubber – The first high traction molded rubber anti-fatigue mats. The goal was to make one of our most comfortable “wet area” mats slip-resistant as well. So we created the first rubber molded mats with a high traction, gritted surface. Buoyed by the success of these GritWorks!™ products, we improved them five years later by developing a cutting fluid resistant formulation (CFR) and enhancing the COF (coefficient of friction) of the grit. Our latest innovation of this line is a petrochemical resistant Nitrile compound, exceptionally unaffected by petroleum and hydrocarbon based fluids.
