Ribbed Electrical Insulating Rubber Mats BS921/IEC 61111:2009 – Class 0 to Class 4
UGC Electrical insulation rubber mats are designed for environments with extremely high electrical safety requirements, providing maximum protection. Our mats are made from premium natural rubber (EPDM, TPE, SBR blends) and comply with BS921/ IEC 61111 international standards, ensuring reliable insulation for both AC and DC installations. Operating voltage ratings range from 0 to 4 (up to 50 kV), designed to protect electricians, operators, and engineers from electric shock when working around switchgear, control panels, substations, and distribution equipment.
Unlike traditional rubber flooring mat, these insulation mats offer dual protection: superior dielectric strength and enhanced mechanical durability. Each mat undergoes rigorous testing for pressure resistance, tensile strength, elongation at break, compression set, oil resistance, and aging resistance to ensure compliance with standards and long-term reliability. These mats are available with smooth, corrugated, or diamond-patterned finishes, while also providing anti-slip and fatigue-resistant properties, offering safety and comfort for extended standing work.
Technical Specifications of Electrical Insulating rubber Mats
UGC insulating rubber mats are manufactured in strict compliance with BS921/IEC 61111:2009 standards. Available in multiple voltage classes (Class 0–Class 4), our mats provide reliable insulation for low, medium, and high-voltage installations. Each mat undergoes rigorous dielectric and proof voltage testing to guarantee safety and durability.
