NEW PIG INTRODUCES FIRST INDUSTRIAL ABSORBENT MAT WITH RECYCLED POLYPROPYLENE CONTENT

Industrial Absorbent Mat With Recycled Poplypropylene Content

Tipton, PA, July 15, 2009 - New Pig Corporation has re-introduced their original PIG® Universal Mat for effective clean up and absorption of leaks, spills and drips - now with 50% recycled polypropylene content to help reduce environmental impact.

The eco-friendly PIG® Universal Mat still retains all of the features that have made it the most popular mat on the market:

100% polypropylene (now made with 50% recycled polypropylene content)
eight thermally-bonded layers – tough, durable, will not rip, tear or fray – even when saturated
highly absorbent – retains oils, coolants, solvents and water
fine-fiber construction – increases liquid retention capabilities
exclusive dimple pattern – speeds wicking of liquid for faster, easier cleanup
non-reactive and compatible with most chemicals
perforated – tears easily to size needed
reusable and can also be incinerated to reduce waste
flame-resistant
dark gray color – hides grime keeping the Mat on the job longer – saving time and money

Ideal for both small cleanup tasks and larger spills, the PIG® Universal Mat is available in size, weight and packaging options for virtually any application. For more information on other PIG® products with recycled content, or to find out what PIG® Mat is best for specific applications, a PIG® Mat Selection guide is available at newpig.com.
