Duratuf Insulating Mats

Do you know why the UAE factories mandate the installation of a rubber mat for electrical switch room?   Why do they purchase IEC 61111 compliant electrical mats? Do the mats justify the investment? Check out  Why Do UAE Factories Choose IEC 61111:2009 Rubber Mat for Electrical Switch Room?  1) Variety  IEC 61111:2009 rubber mat standard for electrical panel has different classes. They have Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4. These insulating mats for electrical panels are suitable for working voltages from 1 kV to 36 kV. However, the maximum voltage of insulated rubber mats for the electrical panels depends on their classes.  2) Physical Safety An IEC 61111 rubber mat for electrical switch room may have ribbed texture. What is the benefit of this surface texture? Ensuring physical safety! The design on top of the rubber mat for electrical  switch room is an anti-skid design. It increases the friction of the workers' feet to the mat. Thus, th...

Every now and then, we hear and read about dangerous electrical accidents in workplaces. Like every other country, Singapore has its share of electrical hazards too. In the previous year, there was a headline about the electrocution of a group of workers in Singapore . This happened while they were installing solar panels.  News like this drives industries to prioritize electrical safety in workplaces. Rubber mats for electrical safety have high demand. Factories and industries in Singapore heavily rely on them to ensure electrical safety in the workplace. Living in Singapore, do you know which rubber mats for electrical safety are available?  Explore the Different Standard-Compliant Rubber Mats for Electrical Safety in Singapore 1) IEC 61111:2009 Rubber Mats for Electrical Safety The International Electrotechnical Commission has set the IEC 61111:2009 standard. A) Classes:  i) Class 0: Class 0 rubber safety mat is for working voltages up to 1 kV.  ii) Class 1: It ...

  Temporary workstations in construction sites have high-voltage machines and applications. The on-site workers install electrical mats to ensure their electrical safety. If that is the case, what happens to the mats after the completion of the project? You wouldn't want to throw them away. You can reuse them for your next project. Thus, storing them can be a great solution! When Should You Store Your Electrical Mats?  Rubber mat electrical is a protective equipment. It saves people from electrical hazards like short circuits, arc flashes, fire hazards, and others. As a result, it is important to maintain and store it properly to ensure their performance in the long term.  End of use: You can store your mats after completing your temporary application.  Changes in weather: You must check whether your electrical rubber mats are exposed to extreme temperatures for a long time. However, the extreme conditions can damage the condition of your mats. Thus, you can consid...

You can spot cork flooring in residential settings. It is one of the go-to choices of environmentally conscious homeowners. However, the question is whether it is suitable for factories. Factory floors include heavy foot traffic and adverse conditions. Besides, high-voltage areas require flooring with insulating properties. What would you choose? Insulating mats for electrical purposes or cork flooring? Comparison Between Insulating Mat and Cork Flooring Before moving further into the topic, let us understand the  Pros and Cons of Insulating Mat: Pros: Protective equipment: Insulating mats for electrical purposes are safety gear. Besides, they have non-conductive properties. This helps an insulating mat form a shield between the ground and a high-voltage source. As a result, an insulating mat can save you from short circuits, arc flashes, current leakage, and others. Anti-skid: Electrical safety mats may have a ribbed or dotted surface texture. Hence, this design increases the t...

  Picture the consequences of insulating mats that fail to offer insulation. Burns, paralysis, or even immediate death! Are you ready to face these consequences when safety falls short? Do you know when and why an electric shockproof rubber mat fails to provide insulation?  Are you sure that you are using it right? What extra care should you take to ensure your electrical safety? An electric shockproof rubber mat is protective equipment. It ensures your electrical safety during electrical accidents like arc flashes, short circuits, and others. Major industries in Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and other countries of the world use these mats to ensure electrical safety in their industries.  When a person touches an energized wire, he gets an electric shock. In this process, the current tends to reach the ground through the low-resistance path, i.e., the human body. An electrical mat offers a barrier between the ground and the voltage source. Being made of rubber, it resist...

  A 33 kV insulating rubber mat is a barrier between you and potential electrical hazards. How can you be confident about your safety? Electrical accidents bring high stakes in the workplace. Thus, it is important to be sure about the reliability and integrity of your insulating mat. Are you confident in the safety of your 33 kV rubber mat? Are you sure that it passes these 5 important tests?  There are different standards for insulating mats, such as ASTM D-178, IEC 61111:2009, and IS 15652:2006. Different standards are dedicated to different geographical locations. For example, Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE usually use the IEC 61111:2009 standard.  However, the IS 15652:2006 standard has the 33kV insulating rubber mat . The Bureau of Indian Standards has set this standard for insulating mats. The IS 15652:2006 has different classes, such as Class A (3.3 kV), Class B (11 kV), and Class C (33 kV).  Make sure that your mat has passed the 5 tests that confirm the perform...

Are you looking for suitable flooring to protect the operators from electric shock?  What would you choose to ensure electrical safety—electrical rubber mats or regular rubber mats?  As a first-time buyer, you might face difficulties in selecting which rubber mat to choose for your application. Electrical insulation rubber mat and regular rubber mat are closely associated terms. Thus, people often confuse themselves while purchasing.  However, this blog is ideal for you as it will help you point out the differences between them. As a result, you can make a smart purchase.  The following are the  Differences between electrical rubber mats and regular rubber mats:  1. Composition:  Electrical rubber mats:  The base polymer of an electrical insulation rubber mat is mainly composed of natural or synthetic rubber. The composition also includes fillers and plasticizers. In addition, the manufacturers add different accelerators and vulcanizing agents. T...
