How to Choose Top Insulation Matting Manufacturers In India

Published On: July 22nd, 2024

Choosing the wrong insulation matting manufacturer can cost your business more than just money, it can put your workers at serious risk. With hundreds of industrial rubber mat suppliers across India, finding one that truly meets your safety, quality, and compliance standards is no small task. Not every manufacturer that ranks high on internet delivers on its promises and what works for another business may not work for yours. That’s why we’ve put together this guide, built on years of industry research and real customer experiences, to help you identify the right insulation matting manufacturer in India with confidence.

Why is insulation matting important for Electrical Safety?

Electrical Insulation matting, also known as dielectric mats or electrical safety mats working near high-voltage equipment. While handling such equipment, the workers are at risk of getting electric shocks. Who knows when there will be a sudden discharge of electric current? These accidents are easily preventable with a rubber mat for electrical switch room.
Made of elastomer, the insulated protective mats have di-electrical properties. An insulated rubber mat can endure high voltages without having a dielectric breakdown. However, we recommend using the complete PPE set- di-electric boots, rubber gloves, and arc flash suits along with the insulating floor mats. Electrical rubber mats act as barriers between the voltage source and the ground during an electric hazard. Electrical insulating matting saves people from electrocution by bypassing the excess current with its non-conductive properties.

An insulated rubber mat works as a great floor cover, too, as they are resistant to oil, ozone, UV, and moisture.

Key Criteria for Evaluating the Insulation Matting Manufacturers in India

When selecting rubber floor mats or insulation mats manufacturers in India, keep in mind:

Experience and Reputation: Look for electrical mat manufacturers with a proven track record in the industry. Companies with extensive experience are more likely to produce high-quality products. Moreover, practical experience enriches a manufacturer in the same way it helps the buyers.
Look out for their important projects and client lists.
Quality of Materials: Ensure the manufacturer uses premium-grade rubber materials that provide effective insulation and durability.
To be sure of the quality of rubber the manufacturer is using, you can refer to the product certificates they provide.
Compliance with Standards: The manufacturer should adhere to national and international safety standards and certifications.

In India, the BIS-approved IS 15652 standard is accepted for the making and testing of dielectric strength mats. According to the IS 15652 standard, there are A, B, and C classes of electric mats. Internationally, IEC 61111 and ASTM D178 standards are accepted.

Customization Options: A good manufacturer should offer customization to meet specific requirements, such as size, thickness, and color. Every business is unique, and so are their needs. Hence, you may have to tailor-make your dielectric strength mats from time to time.
Look out for their important projects and client lists.
Customer Support: Reliable customer service and technical support are crucial for resolving any issues that may arise.

Importance of Manufacturer’s Certifications

Manufacturer’s certificates seal their authenticity. Here are some of the company certificates applicable in India:

BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards):

BIS certificates confirm that the electrical mats meet the safety and quality benchmarks suggested for the Indian market.

ERDA (Electrical Research and Development Association):

Focusing on the performance and safety of the insulation matting, the ERDA certificate is issued by only accredited labs in India.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization):

ISO certifications are a stamp of authenticity for the manufacturers, demonstrating their internal systems follow the set guidelines.

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals):

REACH compliance ensures that the products do not contain harmful chemicals that could pose risks to human health or the environment.

ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances):

ROHS certification restricts the use of specific hazardous materials like lead, mercury, or cadmium found in electrical and electronic products.

Features to Look for in a Good Quality Electrical Rubber Mat

Insulation Properties: High-quality mats should have excellent dielectric strength to provide effective insulation against electrical shocks.
The maximum di-electric voltage the IS 15652 electric mats offer is 65.0 kV (class C), for IEC 61111 electrical mats and ASTM D178 switchboard mats it is 50.0 kV (class 4).
Durability: The mats should be resistant to wear and tear, oil, water, and other industrial contaminants. Duratuf offers thick rubber matting that can withstand high working voltages without degrading.
Duratuf heat resistant insulation mats last 5+ years with minimum maintenance.
Flexibility: Flexible mats are easier to install and maintain, ensuring they can be used in various environments.
Anti-Skid Surface: A textured surface helps prevent slips and falls, enhancing workplace safety.
Duratuf IS 15652 rubber floor mats also work slip-resistant floor coverings. They have a dotted surface above and a textured surface beneath that creates a suction when fixed on the floor. These electrical rubber mats reduce the chances of slipping and falling.
Thermal Resistance: Mats should withstand extreme temperatures without compromising their insulating properties.
The working temperature of Duratuf X-Volt IS 15652 electric mats is -10°C To 55°C. These insulated rubber mats do not get brittle and harden in the cold and do not swell or degrade in high temperatures.
