Insulating Mats for Electrical Purpose

 A businessperson having electrical aspects of work at his place has the responsibility regarding the safety of workers. The company or the owner ensures the safety of workers in the electrical department by providing them all safety equipment of the best quality. DURATUF is the best name regarding the protection of the electrical workers or technicians. DURATUF lets the workers be safe by providing the products like electrical insulation mats, boots, and gloves etc. General population also stays safe because of these DURATUF products. These insulating mats have a wide area of application because of its different purpose of usage. The wide range of application and properties make it worth investment by any of the businessperson or company.
Electrical insulating mats are made up of rubber or other compound polymers which are unique industrial material and can’t be found easily. The fabrication of these mats is complex and has various steps in it like compounding, calendaring, curing and testing etc. The basic work of these mats is to provide insulation between the person and the ground. It protects the person from the direct contact of the earth which leads to the high resistance in the path of the electricity.

PROPERTIES:
  • It is made up of rubber, PVC and other industrial polymers having a tendency of insulation
  • Its tensile strength varies from about (15 to 20)N/mm2
  • These mats cannot be broken up easily as they have the elasticity property and have the elongation of break of about 250% (min).
  • Leakage current in the insulation mats is about 10mA (max) which is very low and the person will not get any shock with this leakage current.
  • According to the test, it provides Insulation resistance of about 100000 M-Ohm (min).
  • The working temperature range of these mats is about -10 to 55 (in degree Celsius) which is the normal temperature range.
ADVANTAGES:
The advantages of these insulation mats are numerous:
  • They provide insulation and hence prevent the person from electric shocks.
  • They are oil, acid, and alkali proof mats and can work efficiently in the presence of any of these also.
  • They are resistant to water hence moisture proof too.
