In this blog, we will explore what makes the X-Voly one of the preferred choices of buyers in the insulating mat market. From composition to application, our specialists have covered it all.

X volt insulating mat features and benefits

What is the X-Volt Insulating Mat?

X-Volt is an electrical insulating rubber mat designed for use in high-voltage environments. This high voltage insulating mat is made of elastomer, a dielectric rubber compound. The X-Volt insulating mat does not have any insertion in it. Textile or metal insertion in these electrical insulating mats interferes with the electrical insulation property of this mat.

The X-Volt insulating mat complies with the Indian IS 15652 safety standard. It is developed by the BIS. In India, the IS 15652 or the ISI code plays a pivotal role in ensuring the electric mat can offer you electrical protection.

These electrical insulating mats come in 3 classes- Class A, Class B, and Class C.
The working voltage of Class A mat is 3.3 kV, for Class B and C it is 11 kV and 33 kV respectively.

Key Features of the Duratuf Electrical Insulating Mat IS 15652

Insulating mats for electrical purpose are not quite cheap protective equipment to buy. They play a crucial role in keeping an industrial facility- that runs on powerful machines, safe. Therefore, before buying the X-Volt electrical insulating rubber mat, specialists recommend you verify the features of those mats.
Here are the key features of Duratuf Insulating Mats:

  • Di-electric strength: Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage the insulating mat can withstand before it breaks down electrically. Dielectric strength ensures the safety equipment is safe to use in a demanding environment. The dielectric strength of Class A, Class B, and Class C insulating matting is 30 kV, 45 kV, and 65 kV.
  • Non-conductive surface: The X-Volt insulating mat has a non-conductive surface. It means that if an individual stands on them while working on a high-voltage machine, electricity will not pass through the human body.

  • Slip-resistant: Slips, trips, and falls result in fewer worker deaths in an industrial workplace than electrical accidents.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the rate of work-related fatalities caused by slips, trips, and falls increased by 1.8% in 2022, resulting in 865 tragic cases.

The X-Volt insulating mats for electrical purposes have a dotted surface above and a textured surface below, giving a good grip to the floor.

  • Oil, acid, and moisture resistant: The Duratuf X-Volt insulating mat does not degrade near engine oils and other lubricants. Their functionality remains intact even when exposed to mild chemicals, and moisture also cannot affect them.

  • Flame Retardant: Rubber is a highly flammable item. Then, why are the electric mats made of rubber and used in places where there is a risk of fire from short circuits? Well, the Duratuf insulating mat is flame-retardant. If it catches fire, the fire is extinguished within 5 secs.

  • Weathering and Aging Resistant: X-Volt mats are resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and aging; since they are designed to perform under both indoor and outdoor conditions.
