Trocellen® linkable exercise mat

Ref:297B - An exciting new development using the latest in hi-tech, high performance materials.

A truly general purpose mat ideal for all uses:

  • Primary school
  • Secondary school
  • Gym
  • Sports / leisure centre
  • Home

Featuring precision water cut jigsaw edges enabling the mats to be linked with absolutely NO GAPS between the mats. Previously only available in the latest in judo or karate mats, this feature is now available in this exercise mat - prevent toes or fingers being caught between the edges of traditional velcro linked mats.

The mat features a multi-layer construction with many unique features including:

  • Tatami surface for a sure-grip in landing situations
  • A firm top layer to give support to landings
  • High resistance layers for impact resistance
  • Core cushioning layer for shock absorption
  • Integrated base to enhance the anti-slip properties of the mat

The graphic below shows the construction of the mat in detail.

What is Trocellen®? - It is a cross-linked polyethylene foam made from polyolefin resins. What that means to you is a high level of plasticity and elasticity, low weight, high impermeability, hard wearing, long lasting mats that are hypo-allergenic, antibacterial and anti-fungal.

The Trocellen linkable exercise mat.  The perfect all purpose, general use exercise mat for school, leisure centre, gym or home use

The mats (shown above) are available in 1m x 1m x 40mm sections.

Quick and easy to link together leaving a smooth exercise surface with no gaps between the joins

Link into any size or shape with absolutely no gaps (the above image shows the linking of four mats)

The "arrow" shown here is the key to linking the mats.  Line up all the arrows to point in the same direction and you know the mats are in the correct orientation for linking.

The precision water jet cut edges (shown on the graphic above) are easy to link. Just line up the "arrows" on one corner of the mats in the same direction and push into place.

The new technology used to create these exercise mats enables incredible performance criteria to be delivered to the athlete or gymnast.  It is easy to see the differing characteristics of the layers in action - watch the core cushioning layer absorbing impacts
The multi-layer high performance foams permanently heat bonded together allow previously unheard of specific performance criteria to be met.

In the above image the central core cushioning layer can be seen providing amazing shock absorption properties

The graphic to the right shows the surface of the mat - a fantastic heat embossed "Tatami" pattern to give a sure-grip when exercising and landing

Tatami surface - an integral heat embossed pattern provides fantastic grip - a feature required on judo mats, now available on a general purpose exercise mat
The graphic to the right shows the underside of the mat - a bespoke anti-slip layer is heat embossed to the last layer of foam to enhance the anti-slip properties of the mat A great "mesh" pattern base enhances the anti slip properties of the mat


 

The graphic above shows each of the heat bonded layers. This bonding uses no glues - flames slightly melt the surface of each layer which are then fused permanently together - the layers become permanently joined.
