Next week the Dycem team will be attending two key cleanroom industry events taking place at the same time across Europe. 🌍

You can find us at Contamin@Lyon in France and Lounges Cleanroom Processes in Germany. Both events bring together professionals from across the cleanroom and contamination control industries to share knowledge, innovations, and best practices.

Our team will be present at both, ready to connect with attendees and discuss how Dycem helps reduce contamination transfer from shoes and wheels before it reaches critical environments.

If you are attending either event, come and say hello. We would love to catch up and talk contamination control. 👋

Welcome to the team, Jean-Paul!

We’re excited to welcome Jean-Paul Mandeville to Dycem Contamination Control.

Jean-Paul is an experienced operations and project professional who recently earned his PMP (Project Management Professional) certification in November 2025. He has successfully onboarded multiple federal and commercial enterprise customers, helping organizations implement structured solutions and keep projects moving forward.

Outside of work, Jean-Paul is a big music fan, so if you need an album recommendation or someone to talk concerts with, he’s your guy.

Welcome to the team, JP! 🎧

Where should Dycem be installed?

One of the most common mistakes facilities make is placing contamination control only INSIDE critical areas.

By the time someone reaches the clean space, contamination has already traveled with them.

Effective contamination control starts at entry and transition points where foot and wheeled traffic move between zones.

That means looking closely at areas like:
• Main entrances to controlled environments
• Gowning and change rooms
• Transition corridors
• Material transfer points
• High-traffic pathways leading into critical spaces

Dycem works by removing contamination through multiple steps and wheel rotations, allowing particles to be captured before they enter sensitive environments.

This is why placement and pathway design matter just as much as the product itself.

Contamination control starts at the source.

In the 1960s, our founder David Cecil Mills discovered a polymer that could hold photographic film perfectly still under a microscope.

That discovery turned into something bigger.

By 1966, Dycem was founded, and the same high-tack polymer that stabilized film would eventually help control contamination in some of the world’s most critical environments.

From laboratories and pharmaceutical facilities to food production and data centers, Dycem products help control contamination carried on foot and wheeled traffic.

60 years later, the mission remains the same: Protect critical environments from the floor up.

We all have to start somewhere!

Long before the strategy calls, site surveys, forecasts, and follow ups, we were just kids with big personalities and even bigger expressions.

Thank you to the team members who were good sports and shared their baby photos so we could have a little fun!

Join Dycem at MIT tomorrow for the BVS Biotech Vendor Product Show!

Chat with Danae Crumb your local Dycem Contamination Control Specialist, and learn more about floor-level contamination control in biotech and research environments.

Stop by to discuss how controlling contamination at entry points can support cleaner labs, protect sensitive processes, and reduce downstream risk. Samples, literature and socks will be available, and lunch will be served to all attendees.

We’re at ISPE CASA today 👋

If you’re at the show, stop by booth #338 and see Alun, Ale, and Morgan at the Dycem table. They’re talking floor-level contamination control, cleanroom best practices, and smarter alternatives to sticky mats.

And yes… the socks are here. 🧦

Come grab a pair and let’s talk about keeping your cleanroom cleaner at the floor level!

Why should you re-think sticky mats in your facility?

Sticky peel-off mats come with a range of risks to be aware of, including:

1️⃣ Only 27% effective (Clibbon, 2002)
2️⃣ Particle redistribution (particles are released back into the air during the peel-off process)
3️⃣ Tear-prone and trip hazards
4️⃣ Often get caught on wheeled traffic
5️⃣ Size, they are often not big enough to effectively decontaminate shoes and wheels

Familiar with these issues? Dycem offers a more reliable solution:

✅ Up to 99.9% effectiveness
✅ Antimicrobial protection
✅ Long-lasting performance (3-5 years)
✅ Easy to clean
✅ Professional appearance

When operators gown up, they inevitably release particles into the air. Fibres from clothing, skin cells, and microscopic debris are disturbed by movement and become airborne during changing and donning procedures. As these particles settle, they can migrate into controlled environments if not effectively managed. ❌

This is where Dycem plays a critical role ❕

As particles fall, they are drawn to Dycem’s smooth polymer surface by van der Waals forces and securely retained, preventing them from being redistributed by foot traffic or airflow and entering the cleanroom.

To reduce particle release during gowning:

✔ Move slowly and deliberately
✔ Follow correct gowning technique
✔ Wear low-lint cleanroom garments
✔ Minimise talking and unnecessary movement
✔ Maintain proper airflow and filtration

Combined with good gowning discipline, Dycem strengthens contamination control at a critical transition point ✅
