The Science of the Finish:
German manufacturing applies a microscopic film layer to protect the closed-cell PVC during shipping and storage. Performing the sea salt scrub removes this film immediately.
Furthermore, as you practice on the mat over weeks and months, friction creates micro-textures that steadily enhance non-slip traction.
