Light weight XPE roll out mats for rapid deployment of MMA flooring. These mats quickly Velcro together to ensure you have minimal setup time.
These foam mats are a scientific wonder in and of themselves. XPE foam is a cross-linked polyethylene foam which is made through a process of high-pressure and heat, but the major key that sets it apart from other mats is that XPE foam is made in long sheets. Using a sheet extrusion machine, XPE foam is stretched over metal rollers, casting a long, continuous mat which can be made to any length. This process doesn't involve any greasy release agents which could cause a slippery surface.
In contrast, EVA foam mats are created when EVA plastic is heated and injected into mould. The foam is left to cool and expand, and after a set amount of time, the mould is opened and the EVA foam mat is taken out. The mould is coated in a release agent, a chemical emulsion which stops the EVA foam from sticking to the mould. In very many ways, it's like a non-stick coating on a pan, and just like that EVA foam mats suffer from the greasy discharge of this release agent. This coating disappears after a short period of time, but for those initial sparring sessions you lose the traction you so desperately need.
