Does Vinyl Mats Protect Against Electricity

Specialty mats also include electrically conductive and static dissipative mats that help eliminate hazards and help protect sensitive equipment from static electricity.

Does vinyl mats protect against electricity. Static dissipative mats and conductive mats are designed to protect sensitive equipment such as computers and explosive chemicals by quickly drawing the static electricity off workers before they touch such items. If the electricity has been turned off and you have confirmed it s off via a non contact tester multi meter or some other method then you don t need gloves to protect yourself from electrocution there should be no risk if you ve actually confirmed it s off. Our mats are intended for indoor use only. Humans quickly generate static electricity by walking shifting their position or even rolling on a chair.

Always prefer insulating mats that are fire resistant slip resistant and puncture resistance. A body voltage meter and am radio can be used to test for voltage and intermediate frequency noise. Hot vinyl surfaces can severely burn unprotected skin on contact. Storing the mat in a dry place far from conceivable harm when not being used is important and inspecting the mat for any harm for example puncture wear and tear or rips is essential to maintain the safe working functionality of the matting.

Conductive mats disperse static electricity quicker than static dissipative mats. Ultraviolet rays degrade vinyl even extremely durable 18oz vinyl with which our mats are covered.
