Specifically designed for use in front of high-voltage equipment such as switchboards, electrical safety matting is a special grade of rubber in mat form that has excellent insulating properties. Providing safety for operators and maintenance staff from electrical shock, it should be used in any area where the health and safety risk assessment has shown possible exposure to high-voltage shock. Specially engineered matting for use in areas prone to electrical shock such as Switch boards. Vardhman ASTM D-178 electrical safety matting is a special grade of rubber possessing high insulation properties. These mats should be used in areas where the risk assessment team has shown possible exposure to high voltage shock. Rubber has inherent di-electric properties which inhibit the flow of electric charge as a result of its molecular structure and thus preventing the free flow of electrons. This makes it an ideal insulator.

In combination with personal protection equipment (such as electrically insulated gloves) the operator or user should stand on the mat in front of the electrical equipment. This will avoid a direct short through their body to the ground.

For detailed safety guidelines, please refer to our Safety Guidelines page.

ASTM D-178 Insulation Matting is available in different classes (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) for various voltage levels. Each class has specific thickness and dielectric strength requirements. For detailed specifications, visit our ASTM D-178 product page.

Proper transportation and storage is essential to protect the insulating properties and durability of mats. These mats shall not be bent or compressed. The mats should not be stored/used in the proximity of excessive heat sources.

For maximum life of the mats do not store in open sunlight, artificial light or any other sources of ozone for long hours.
