One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks. “What’s this?” she asked.

“Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.

“What happened to the carpet?” she asked.

“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.

Greta smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles.

“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”

“Where’s the water?” asked Greta.

“Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, ‘Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it”

“Why’s there no running water?” Greta asked, becoming a little peevish.

“Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?” There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .

“What’s for breakfast?” interjected Greta, whose head was hurting.

"Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”

“How so, raw?” inquired Greta.

“Well, . . .” And once again, Greta was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore.

“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Greta.

“Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.”

“What?!” interjected Greta. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.”

“Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.”

This represents only a fraction of Greta’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet.

Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.

Gen, 338 words, timestamp: Burning Down The House Summary: something that is the center of attention; an object that serves as a focal point of attraction and admiration

A/N: A fill for both dsc6d snippets prompt 48, "prescient" and Vocab Drabbles prompt "cynosure".

--

I toss the bills next to the plates—mine, ketchup-stained; his, mirror-clean, wolf-licked—and follow him to the door, but turn back for—yeah, there it is. Two paper sheets, one missing a corner. I stuff them into my pocket, gonna get crumpled, but so what. Curiosity might kill a cat, but a cop, an undercover one, with a wacko for a partner? This can save lives, plural.

In the car—his face, like one of those hologram cards they put in comic books, relief tucked behind the tilt of his mouth, the ghosts around the corners of his eyes flickering in and out with the pools of sodium lights passing by. I watch him watch the road. He takes my hand as I drop him off, and we shake on something I can't see from here, not yet. The heavy consulate doors are silent, or maybe my head is, full of insulation and white noise.

Back home, I elbow away the mail and straighten the sheets out on the counter. They're small in the frame of my hands. Crosswords. He fished a pen out from somewhere and scribbled as we waited for the food. One is done, the second only has two words, letters all neat and snug in their boxes. Across: prescient. Down: cynosure. S, a curling intersection.

My ribs hurt, leaning down like this, my eyes full of sand, my neck itching like sunburn where the heat licked up and around us. There's a sketch in the margin, a tiny car—a Riviera. All smooth lines and firm-handed shading.

An object that serves as a focal point of attraction and admiration.

I blink the red from my eyes. It's too bright in here with the lights off. I fold the sheet, once, twice, flattening the crease with my nail, and slip it into my wallet, careful with the edges.

Out the window, a motorcycle turns the corner, lays rubber, engine a piercing whine. I wonder how fast you can go before you miss a turn.

Artist Trevor and Andrea bought a derelict old builder’s workshop. It was a mess, stacked with rotten timbers and piles of old pipes. After clearing out the building, they set about converting the space.

Now, it’s an art-filled, boldly colorful home. Sheets of plywood were used to cover the inside of the pitched ceiling.

Trevor made all the wooden shelves and kitchen units. For an interesting touch, he incorporated a beautifully decorative pair of 1940s drawers into the cabinetry.

The bright yellow of the rubber floor, which replaced dusty grey concrete.

They used sections of semi-transparent corrugated polycarbonate between the bedroom and kitchen. ‘It’s lightweight, insulates well and is easy to cut,’ explains Trevor.

Trevor’s own color-saturated paintings are all around the home.

The bathroom used to be the builder’s office in the original building.

Rusty vintage tools and things decorate an outer wall.

5 differences between electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats 

Electrical room floor mats vs. Rubber floor mats 

What sets them apart from each other?

In this blog, we will help you explore the key differences. We will discuss about electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats in details.

Let us dive into the differences between these two!

Here are the

 5 differences between electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats! 

 1. Composition: 

Manufacturers make electrical room floor mats with rubber compounds. These rubber compounds have high electric resistivity. They make them with such material to withstand high voltage. They go through vulcanization. This shapes them to achieve desirable properties. Ensure safety and compliance with the highest rubber mat standards for electrical panel.

But, rubber mat manufacturers make mats with natural rubber and synthetic rubber compounds. Manufacturers also add polymers like Styrene Butadiene and Nitrile Butadiene. They add them to get some desired properties. They add fillers and vulcanizing agents. Vulcanizing agents give them characteristics for specific applications.

Besides, manufacturers make different rubber floor mats to serve various purposes. They make rubber sheets with different materials like silicone, Viton, or other elastomers. Rubber floor mats serve versatile industries.

 2. Purpose: 

Electrical room floor mats serve the purpose of protecting people from electrical hazards. Substations, control panels, and transformers have high operating voltage. People operating them have a risk of electrical accidents. Electric floor heat mat can withstand high temperature.

Meanwhile, people use rubber floor mats for various purposes. People use rubber floor mats for safety and comfort. Rubber floor mat offers cushioning to the feet. It reduces stress and fatigue with that property. Ribbed mats ensure safety. People reduce the risks of falling or slipping by installing them. Rubber mat can withstand high temperatures. But, not like that of an electric floor heat mat.

How does an electrical floor mat prevent shock?

Often the equipment can have manufacturing faults. Workplaces having such equipment can cause short circuits. They can discharge high currents.

Rubber mat electrical ensures the electrical safety of a workplace. It protects the workers from such high currents.

It does not let the current pass through the human body. Thus, people use rubber mat for electrical room to protect people from shock. It also protects people from short-circuits.

Do rubber floor mats reduce noise?

Yes, rubber floor mats reduce noise. People use them for soundproofing. They check the transmission of noise. As a result, they reduce the impact of noise.

Suppose you are at a gym. You are working out with heavy weights and machines. There will be a lot of noise when they come in contact with the ground. You can install rubber floor mats in your gym to reduce such noises. Neoprene rubber sheets have sound absorption properties.They make the environment more comfortable.

 3. Electrical properties: 

Electrical room floor mats have high dielectric strength. They can withstand high voltage without breaking down. Their special electrical property makes them the best insulation tools. The power industry uses electrical insulation matting for this reason.

Rubber mat electrical prevents electric shock. Workers in substation work with high voltage electrical devices. They are vulnerable to electric shocks. Rubber mat for substations saves the workers from injuries. They also lessen deaths due to electric shock.

It is non-conductive. It does not allow current to flow from the source to the ground. Insulating mats prevent the passing of current from one's body.

But, rubber floor mats have lesser dielectric strength than insulating mats. They can endure voltage to an extent. Dealing with high voltage for a long time damages a rubber mat. They do not help in shock prevention. They can resist electricity till a point. They do not have as high electrical resistivity as insulating mats.

What happens to a rubber floor mat in high voltage for a long time?

In high voltage, a rubber floor mat-

Damages- Rubber mats wear and tear when exposed to very high voltages. They break down in high electricity. It boosts their aging and spoils their condition.

Fades- The texture of a rubber mat fades. Its color fades. It loses its finishing and develops wrinkles. This is a sign of aging. It means that the rubber floor mat will expire soon.

Hardens- When a rubber floor mat damages in high-voltage exposure, it hardens. Hardening lessens the quality of the rubber sheet. Finally, it finishes its service life. You cannot use a rubber mat after that.

 4. Fire resistant: 

Sometimes, electrical hazards can result in the starting of a fire. You can stop the spread of fire with electrical room floor mats. Insulating mats are resistant to fire.

How will an electrical room floor mat help you during a fire outbreak?

Suppose you are working in a substation. There is some old electrical equipment that you have to operate. The wire connections have loosened and the cables have worn off. Due to this, a short circuit takes place.

Due to the current overflow, there is a starting of fire. If your substation has electrical room floor mats, you will be safe. They will resist the flames and reduce the spread of fire. The industrial safety floor mats will reduce your liability costs. Rubber mat electrical also reduces medical expenses by checking the fire outbreak.

However, rubber floor mats are not fire-resistant. They can withstand high temperatures. But they cannot resist the starting and spread of fire. Thus, if you have a risk of a fire outbreak in your workplace, you should avoid rubber floor mats. Yet, neoprene and Hypalon rubber mats have some flame-resistant properties. You should aways go for rubber mat electrical for resisting fire.

 5. Areas of application: 

The power industry installs insulating mats in switchrooms. The power industry has high-voltage electrical equipment. They need electrical insulation.

People use electrical insulation matting near HT and LT panels, and control rooms.

They also install them in lift rooms and near switchboards.

Additionally, they install rubber mat electrical in transformer rooms.

Meanwhile, people install rubber floor mats for residents and industries.

People use rubber flooring for noise reduction.

People use rubber flooring in schools, gyms, bathrooms, and hospitals. Rubber matting also reduces the risks of accidents.

They also install them in ice rink arenas and commercial settings.

To Summarize In brief, electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats are both composed of rubber. People install the first one to ensure electrical safety. They use insulating mats in areas prone to high voltages. Primarily, the power industry has several rubber mat electrical applications. But, people use rubber matting to reduce physical accidents. They also use it for noise cancellation and others. People use them for residential electrical room mat

rubber safety floor matsand commercial purposes.

Asbestos gaskets are recognized for his or her glorious warmth resistance and insulating properties, which make them ideal to be used in high-temperature functions. However, asbestos is also a hazardous material that can trigger lung illnesses corresponding to mesothelioma and asbestosis if inhaled. Therefore, using asbestos gaskets has been restricted or banned in plenty of international locations. Non-asbestos gaskets, on the other hand, are manufactured from artificial fibers, such as aramid, fiberglass, and graphite, which may be blended with rubber or other binders. These forms of gaskets shouldn't be utilized in typical pipe flanges, and especially not in high-pressure rated pipe flanges (such as 600 kilos or greater). 986-A is an EPDM based compressed sheet material for extra severe applications. In an asbestos-rubber gasket, asbestos fibres were mixed with the elasticity of rubber, making a gasket that stood firm beneath pressure while flexing when necessary. Insulation units are primarily utilized in petrochemical functions to electrically isolate two mating flanges. This reduces the probability of creating a galvanic cell which would end in corrosion of the flanges and pipework. Insulation sets are additionally employed to forestall the circulate of electrostatic charges and to scale back sparking in hazardous environments.
