Construction Grade Materials

Viblon™ pads are technically engineered and specifically designed to cushion impact, shock and vibration. Constructed of multiple layers of high-quality, cotton-polyester duck fabric, completely impregnated with specially designed nitrile compounds.

Viblon™ is the answer to vibration, noise, impact, and shock problems. It is manufactured to the rigid requirements of Military Specification MIL-C-882-E, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the Federal Bureau of Public Roads. Designed for use in bridge, industrial machinery and railroad applications. Test report and certifications will be furnished on request. Conforms to article 2.10.3 (1) AASHTO specifications.

Garlock Neoprene Bearing Pads provide a uniform transfer of load from beam to substructure. They permit beam rotation at the bearing point due to deflection or misalignment. They absorb vibration and prevent sound transfer, while reducing the destructive action of vibration between movable and stationary structural members. They also provide for movement caused by normal expansion and contraction. Neoprene Bearing Pads are used extensively in bridge structures and prestressed and precast concrete buildings. Also used in industrial machinery and heavy equipment applications.
