Uses in brief

Used as an elastic interlayer like a spring in civil engineering and machinery applications.

Overview

Sylomer is used in its cellular or compact form for many applications in civil engineering and machinery. In most of them, it is used as an elastic interlayer like a spring. The characteristics of this spring can be adapted to the need of the application and of the construction, or the construction method by selecting the Sylomer type, the thickness and the loaded surface area.

Construction

Sylomer materials are produced in a continuous process. They are available as strips up to 1.5m wide and are therefore especially suitable for elastic coverings with large surface area. Further, stamped or molded parts of Sylomer are available for special applications.

The standard types include Sylomer materials with densities of 150 -680 kg/m³.

For special applications, separate types are fabricated with specifically adapted density or cross linking, as well as the compact material.

Benefits/performance

The fine cellular structure allows for the necessary deflection when loaded statically or dynamically, so that elastic bearings with full surface contact and low power transmission density become possible. This is a big advantage concerning construction, design and economy, especially in civil engineering.
