Does Vinyl Mats Protect Against Electricity

Vinyl mat covers no matter the color quickly absorb and retain heat when exposed to direct sunlight.

Does vinyl mats protect against electricity.

Earthing mats that plug into electrical outlets may also increase the risk of exposure to voltages and intermediate frequencies which may be induced on the grounding cable. 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. A body voltage meter and am radio can be used to test for voltage and intermediate frequency noise.

Ultraviolet rays degrade vinyl even extremely durable 18oz vinyl with which our mats are covered. Conductive mats disperse static electricity quicker than static dissipative mats. Conductive and static dissipative matting must be grounded to be effective. 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. 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.
