AcroMat, a leading manufacturer of anti-fatigue mats based in the Minneapolis Metro, is proud to announce that its 100-1 Series, 100-Cleanroom Series, and 100-ESD Series anti-fatigue mats have been awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance.
"The APMA Seal of Acceptance is granted to products that have been evaluated by a panel of APMA podiatrists and found to promote good foot health," says Patrick DeHeer, DPM, APMA President. "We are proud to recognize products, like AcroMat’s anti-fatigue mats, that meet our physicians’ highest standards for safety and effectiveness."
The APMA Seal of Acceptance applies specifically to the following AcroMat products:
- AcroMat 100-1 Series Anti-Fatigue Mat
- AcroMat 100-Cleanroom Series Anti-Fatigue Mat
- AcroMat 100-ESD Series Anti-Fatigue Mat
AcroMat 100-1 Series anti-fatigue mat, custom-designed to fit a complex layout.
All three product lines are customizable to any shape and size and engineered using AcroMat’s molded nitrile rubber technology, designed to provide consistent ergonomic support, proven traction, and long-term performance in a variety of settings.
According to APMA's Seal Program, "A major goal of APMA is to raise awareness by identifying products of exceptional quality that are manufactured with the consumer's comfort and safety in mind."
AcroMat is one of just two anti-fatigue mat providers to have received the presigious Seal of Acceptance for comfort and ergonomic support.
For companies focused on investing in the health and safety of their employees, the APMA recognition offers an added and carefully tested layer of assurance.
"We’ve always believed performance should be proven, not just promised," says Russell Herbert, AcroMat General Manager. "Through rigorous third-party testing and transparency – including curl resistance, seam integrity, dynamic fatigue and now podiatrist review – our hope is that customers will have complete confidence in what they are investing in with AcroMat."
AcroMat receiving the APMA Seal of Acceptance follows the company submitting their 100-Series mats for additional cushion and resilience testing by OSHA-accredited laboratories. Specifically, the AcroMat 100-Series mats were subjected to 80,000 compressions under the ASTM D3574-17 Dynamic Fatigue Test – comparable to 3+ years of steps by mat users. AcroMat's molded nitrile material maintained over 98% of its thickness following 80,000 compressions and continued regain form.
The results showed that AcroMat's nitrile material is permanently resilient and verifies its Lifetime Performance Warranty promise that all 100-Series mats will never lose their cushion. Conversely, the PVC foam mats tested alongside the AcroMat mats lost 4.4-6.1% thickness and continued to compress over time, indicating permanent breakdown.
