I forget the name, but it used to be sold as non-slip matting for use on boat tables and as a washable clean room entry mat. It also made excellent tyres for an egg racing machine. To the best of my knowledge it is a plastic, rather than rubber, product.

It's sold as 'non-slip' or 'anti-slip' mat for woodworking; try Googling to see if any of the various mats suit your purposes. I believe it was recommended by Norm of New Yankee Workshop fame.

If you want to try any of the materials sold for tool drawer bottoms try a camping mat from Lidl - it might not work but it's cheaper than other sources.
