Heatproof Mat
A heatproof mat is a piece of Laboratory equipment, apparatus commonly used in tabletop lab experiments that involve moderate temperatures (for example, when a Bunsen burner is being used) to prevent damage to a work surface. They may also be used for domestic equipment, such as hot plates, hair stylers, hair straighteners or other hot objects. Traditionally, such mats were made of asbestos, often reinforced with a metal mesh, but fiberglass or other substitutes are now used because of the Asbestos#Health_issues, toxicity of asbestos fibres.
