Electrical Rubber Mats vs Epoxy Insulation Coatings Pros, Cons & Industry-Wise Recommendations When it comes to electrical safety, insulation is not optional. Whether you are running a power substation, factory floor or control room, the right insulation method protects both the lives of your people and your valuable equipment. Two common solutions are electrical rubber mats and epoxy insulation coatings. While they are very different in performance, safety and long-term value but both aim to reduce electrical risk. In this blog, we will understand the pros, cons and best use Rubber mats and epoxy coatings. You will also see why electrical rubber mats are the preferred and more reliable choice across most industries. What are Electrical Rubber Mats? Electrical rubber mats are high-resistance insulating mats placed on floors near electrical panels, switchboards, transformers and high-voltage equipment to prevent electrical shocks and passage of current. They are designed to: Preve...

  What if your electrical insulating mat starts conducting electricity?  Will it be able to ensure your electrical safety?  What makes an electrical insulating mat conductive? As a user, you should be aware of the factors that can make your electrical insulating mat conductive. Electrical insulating mats are insulators. They are made of rubber and have a negligible number of charge carriers. This prevents the free movement of electrons. Hence, they are used to protect people from dangerous power hazards like arc flashes, short circuits, and others.  Let us now check the Factors that make an electrical insulating rubber mat conductive: 1. Voltage withstanding level:  Insulating mats have different classes. Each class has different voltage-withstanding capacities. Mismatch of working voltages with the voltage rating of the insulating mats will damage them. As a result, they will start to conduct electricity.  Suppose, you are using an 11 kV mat for a working...

Electrical room floor mats vs. Rubber floor mats What sets them apart from each other?  In this blog, we will help you explore the key differences. We will discuss about electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats in details. Let us dive into the differences between these two! Here are the 5 differences between electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats! 1. Composition Manufacturers make electrical room floor mats with rubber compounds. These rubber compounds have high electric resistivity. They make them with such material to withstand high voltage. They go through vulcanization. This shapes them to achieve desirable properties. But, rubber mat manufacturers make mats with natural rubber and synthetic rubber compounds. Manufacturers also add polymers like Styrene Butadiene and Nitrile Butadiene. They add them to get some desired properties. They add fillers and vulcanizing agents. Vulcanizing agents give them characteristics for specific applications. Besides, manufactu...
