Our lab is now using Sticky Mats from Cole Static Control Inc.   You get 30 or 60 layers (peel-off) that sticks to the paraffin and keeps it from tracking onto the floor.   MarketLab also has these but at more than double the price.   We've been happy with them, although you do need to peel off the layers just about daily.   Phone # for the company: 800-915-3535.
 
I hope this is what you need!

Subject: Re: [Histonet] floor mats


I had to replace our floor mats recently and I got new mats from Market Lab. 800-237-3604 or http://www.marketlabinc.com/ 
The mats are featured in their catalog and on the web site as designed for histology labs - No Slip Histology Floor Mat - 3' x 10' (ML9803). You can get them in custom sizes also. We just vacuum them periodically and they are great.
