AlertMat® Detectable Warnings
Surface-Applied Detectable Warnings
AlertMat® is virtually indestructible. AlertMat® is made from Styrene Butadiene (SRB), which is the same rubber compound used by auto and truck tire companies throughout the world. This material is also used in cattle stall flooring, weight room mats, wheel flaps, truck bed liners and V-belts in engines-it’s undoubtedly one of the toughest rubber materials available.
Mixed into our compound are nylon, rayon and polyester fibers that give AlertMat® superior strength and wearability. Ultraviolet inhibitors and anti-oxidants are added as well, providing excellent sun and abrasion resistance and assuring you years of dependable service.
AlertMat® is made from 100% recycled materials, so even though it offers superior durability, the cost savings is substantial and also qualifies for L.E.E.D. credits.
AlertMat’s® thin surface profile and perimeter beveled edge provide pedestrians a safe transition from all surrounding surfaces. AlertMat® has a flexible, one-piece design that readily conforms to irregularities of existing concrete ramps. For more custom installations, the mat can be easily trimmed in the field to form a detectable warning surface around utility poles, manhole covers and other special requirements.
Alertmat is available in variety of sizes.

Note:
* After one minute of sand blasting using silica sand, a two-inch nozzle-to-surface distance, one quater-inch internal nozel diameter and 80-pound air pressure. [ Result: 0.00 ]
** Test involved dropping a two-pound steel ball weight from a eight-foot height at ambient, cold (-30 degrees F) and hot (+120 degrees F) temperatures exposure was 48 hours. [ Result: No Mark ]
