Für Matten, die alles aushalten
Many sports are simply unimaginable without suitable sports mats. Mats increase comfort during training and protect against, for example, floor cold or slipping away during exercises. #Heytex offers materials for manufacturing high-quality sports mats made of durable, high-performance materials that are perfect for a wide range of sports and fitness applications.
Our materials are specifically designed to provide superior shock absorption, cushioning and traction, making them ideal for use in gymnastics, martial arts, wrestling and other sports that require a high level of impact resistance. They are also easy to clean and maintain and are compatible with common disinfectants, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
In addition to material properties, we offer a wide range of embossing, color choices, custom printing and finishing to ensure our customers get the perfect mat for their specific needs.
Of course, all of our materials are phthalate-free and are tested regularly, for which we offer appropriate certificates. Ask us!
For example, our judo mat tatami PF (H7532) is primarily used for Far Eastern martial arts such as judo, jiu-jitsu and taekwondo. The martial arts mats MMA PF (H7234) are used in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitions, this is a popular sport especially in the USA. Meanwhile, our mats are also increasingly used in sports studios. As an appealing and modern look is more and more in focus here, we are able to design individual print images on the surface without compromising the properties of abrasion, scratch resistance and surface gloss.
Judo mats traditionally have rice straw embossing because this is a nod to the origins of the sport, which evolved from traditional Japanese martial arts. The rice straw embossing is reminiscent of training on tatami mats, which were made of rice straw.
In addition, traditional judo clothing, called judogi, is made of a thick cotton fabric designed to withstand the wear and tear of fighting and throwing techniques. When judo was developed, athletes wore this traditional clothing, which provided some protection from mat burn. In other martial arts, however, shorts tend to be worn. To reduce the inevitable mat burn here, Heytex has developed a special satin embossing. Both for our judo mat with rice straw embossing and for the variants of our martial arts mats with satin embossing, the focus during development was on a particularly abrasion-resistant lacquer. The demands on the durability of a judo mat have increased significantly in recent years. Since we as Heytex see ourselves as a technology leader in the field of sports mats, we naturally want to meet this requirement of our customers. The coating is therefore characterized by a uniformly matt surface. Since the mats made of our textile are used at major sporting events broadcast on TV, this is particularly important. Without our matte lacquer, disturbing light reflections would occur during the TV broadcasts. Nowadays, all our martial arts mats are produced without phthalate plasticizers in order to meet all requirements from the market in this respect as well.
