4.0 Drying
The use of tumble-drying of mats as part of the full processing cycle is optional.
If tumble-drying is used, the following specifications must be met:
Loading:
Refer to the dryer manufacturer’s specifications.
Temperature:
The maximum air outlet temperature setting of 80°C/175°F must
be used. This minimizes the risk of over-drying or pile damage.
Drying Times:
Refer to the dryer manufacturer’s specifications.
Moisture:
Do not over dry mats. As a general guideline, moisture weight
should be 10 to 15% of the fabric weight.
Cool Down:
All mats should be promptly removed from the dryer upon
completion of the drying cycle and laid flat until cooled to at least
30°C/90°F. This minimizes any creasing memory that might be
put into the rubber while still warm and minimizes the risk of mat
“sweating”.
