The mats are manufactured from 100% natural fibres such as hemp, linen and jute. In comparison with synthetic fibres, natural
fibres have much higher hygroscopic potential.
In practice, they can absorb and contain incomparably larger quantities of disinfectant solutions used for decontamination. The
disinfectant in use (as recommended by veterinary doctors), as the result of adsorption forces in action, has a lower potential for
seeping into the ground. Because the mats are manufactured from natural materials, no disposal problem arises as they are readily
biodegradable or can be burnt.
