SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rubber-Cal, Inc. is launching an exciting addition to its inventory with the introduction of a new specialty Gas Station Mat. The new product will provide consumers with a high-quality mat which has been designed specifically for use by gas station firms. Rubber-Cal has long been a leader in America’s rubber trade, serving a variety of industries. With the addition of its new Gas Station Mat, the company is looking to make its mark on the fuel station market.
The Gas Station Mat is a circular rubber mat, designed to cover fuel sumps. A fuel sump is a grated ground opening at a gas station, which is used by fuel trucks to fill the underground tanks. Rubber-Cal’s waterproof and UV-resistant Gas Station Mat can be placed over the sump opening, protecting it from damage and preventing rainwater and other contaminants from leaking into the fuel supply. It can save gas station operators from the costly process of having contaminants pumped out of the sump, as well as protecting the cover and improving its aesthetic.
Sean Dhaliwal, head of marketing at Rubber-Cal said: “Over the past couple years we’ve had gas station owners coming to us for mats that they can place over these sumps. They are looking for durable products that hold up to physical stress and weather conditions. While our existing products were a decent fix, we knew we could do better.”
Rubber-Cal’s Gas Station Mat is made from durable SBR rubber, providing a waterproof covering. SBR also has excellent resistance to outdoor elements, making it the perfect material for a mat which will be left outside in all conditions.
The first purpose-built gas station was created in St. Louis in 1905, and there are now about 115,000 in the United States. While some station operators might have fashioned makeshift sump covers, Rubber-Cal’s new product will provide the best purpose-made option.
The protective mat is 4ft. in diameter, with beveled edges and attractive grip-enhancing diamond-plate styling, and is available now to be shipped across North America.
Rubber-Cal, Inc. is based in California and specializes in offering quality rubber products. The company was founded in 1994 and is a leading source of rubber flooring, industrial sheet rubber and flexible ducting. It has a strong online presence, with storefronts at Rubbercal.com, RubberFlooringExperts.com, FloorMatCompany.com, Coirmat.com and Ducting.com.
