We use "Mats and Matting Company" (phone number 1-800-872-9700). They call
the product Profile Trapper Matting or Pathology Laboratory Paraffin
Matting. They are colorfast, fade resistant, skid resistant (even when wet!)
and it resists acids, alkalis, salts, calcium and solvents. (Sound like a
typical workday :-)?). The company I'm sure would be happy to provide you
with more info.  There are other companies that also carry this type of
product (for example, Martinson-Nicholls has a ViSpa line it came out with
Oct '99. Sorry I don't have a phone number). Hope this helps, Sue

	We have paraffin trapper rugs that can be taken up and cleaned
periodically
	(in addition to the daily vacuuming it gets!) If you are interested
in info,
	just let me know,

		Hello Everyone,
		I need to know what some of you have  on your floors in
histology..
	We have
		regular tile floors. The paraffin sticks real bad and our
	environmental
		service is short staff . So that means they do not get to
clean
	every day.
		What kind of rugs, mats or how do you go about keeping the
paraffin
	off the
		floor. We have chairs that are on rollers where we sit to
cut..
	Thanks for
		any help.

		Rita
