Over the years, we have received many questions from clients across a wide range of applications. Below is a selection of the most frequently asked questions and answers. Should you require additional information or project-specific guidance, our team is available to assist — please contact us directly.
The XTREME Mat is manufactured using a rotational molding (rotomolding) process. Our proprietary rotomolding technique utilizes some of the largest molding machines in the industry, allowing for precise control of material distribution and wall thickness. This advanced process enables the production of large, heavy-duty HDPE mats with a one-piece, solid plastic internal core, resulting in exceptional structural integrity and industry-leading strength.
The solid-core construction of the XTREME Mat is unique within the industry. Each mat is manufactured as a single, continuous HDPE structure with an integral solid internal core, unlike competitive designs that rely on seamed, two-piece construction with hollow or honeycomb-style cores. This one-piece solid-core design delivers significantly greater structural strength and load-bearing capacity. In addition, because there are no internal voids, the core cannot absorb fluids or trap debris—even if the surface is compromised—eliminating the risk of internal contamination or cross-site transfer.
XTREME Mats are manufactured and shipped from Northeastern Canada, in the city of Tracadie-Sheila, New Brunswick. For overseas shipments, the nearest port of departure is Saint John, New Brunswick, providing efficient access to international shipping routes.
The XTREME Mat is rated to withstand a compressive load of 828 PSI (56 kg/cm² | 852 ton/m²). In controlled testing, the mat has been subjected to loads approaching nearly twice this rated capacity without structural failure, exhibiting only minimal surface deformation. This exceptional compressive strength is achieved through the mat’s solid-core design. The internal structure consists of a fully filled, closed-cell HDPE core with no void spaces, creating a homogeneous, one-piece structure. The absence of internal cavities significantly enhances load distribution, structural integrity, and overall strength.
