Class 4 Matting – 36kV Electrical Insulating Rubber Mats ASTM D178 Type 2

Class 4 Matting – 36kV Electrical Insulating Rubber Mats ASTM D178 Type 2
Class 4 matting type SM556-04 is a high quality fine ribbed rubber insulating matting which is fully certified to meet American National Standard ASTM D178 Type 2, Section 5:
- Class 5.1.2.1-A O-Zone Resistant
- Class 5.1.2.2-B Flame Resistant
- Class 5.1.2.3-C Oil Resistant
The ASTM D178 Class 4 matting is fully certified and tested to 50kV with a recommended safety working voltage of 36kV.
Additionally the electrical insulating matting has a fine ribbed, anti-slip surface pattern on one side and a cloth impression finish on the reverse side ensuring safe electrical working conditions for users.
SM556-04 insulating matting is available in stock lengths of 10m x 0.91m with a thickness of 12.7mm and on request can be produced in cut length sizes and a variety of colours or with flame retardant, low emission grade materials.
