D URA-BASE Advanced-Composite Mats – a flagship product of Newpark Mats & Integrated Services –
provides safe, cost-effective access and diverse applications in extreme environments. Our mat system has
been proven to be invaluable for use in a number of industries including oil & gas, utilities, construction,
petrochemical, pipelines and many more.

The proprietary DURA-BASE formulation
integrates UV protection and static dissipation. The
welded design provides a single piece sealed mat, which
eliminates weight gain from water contaminants. This, in turn,
prevents environmental risks from cross-contamination
threats like club root, raspberry crazy ants, soybean cyst
and others. All DURA-BASE mats are recyclable, and have one
of the lowest carbon footprints of any mat product. Newpark supports
sustainability and environmental responsibility by offering a buy-back program
and mat recycling at our Carencro, Louisiana facility.
