Rinos, the specialized manufacturer of coir and entrance mats, is per mid-June 2024 the direct supplier of the well-known Aqua 85 walk-off mat. This scraper walk-off mat was previously supplied by 3M as Nomad Aqua 85 (NA85). The mat is well-known as the best performing mat when it comes to dirt absorption. Meanwhile, 3M has informed its distributors that Rinos is continuing both production and delivery of this product. The official introduction will take place during the Flanders Flooring Days from May 13 to 16.
Aqua 85 is the product name under which Rinos will now supply this mat directly to distributors. The mat’s excellent performance in terms of dirt absorption is due to the unique tufting method. Hard scraping yarns and thin moisture-absorbing yarns are tufted next to each other, the so-called Twin Fiber pile construction. The separated loop poles provide an open structure. Therefore, this walk-off mat easily absorbs dirt, hides it perfectly and is easy to vacuum.
An outstanding mat with proven track record
The special, blended pattern is partly created because the coarse scraping yarn is matched in color to the fine absorbent yarn. Due to its excellent properties, Aqua 85 is securing excellent performance for many years, for example in prime commercial locations with a lot of traffic.
Aqua 85 is made of ECONYL®, regenerated nylon. If required, the mat is available with a PVC-free Pura Backing. The mat is particularly sustainable: 70% consists of recycled raw materials. Each mat is individually packaged. This keeps the mats clean and ensures easy delivery. Aqua 85 is available in various sizes with a 2.5 cm border all around – also in rolls up to 10 meters in length – for easy and quick loose laying on existing floors.
