Does Vinyl Mats Protect Against Electricity

Humans quickly generate static electricity by walking shifting their position or even rolling on a chair.

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. Conductive mats disperse static electricity quicker than static dissipative mats. 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. Vinyl mat covers no matter the color quickly absorb and retain heat when exposed to direct sunlight.

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. Our mats are intended for indoor use only. Hot vinyl surfaces can severely burn unprotected skin on contact. 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. Always prefer insulating mats that are fire resistant slip resistant and puncture resistance.
