Symar® Load Bearing Pads are used extensively in standard construction applications, precast and prestressed concrete bridges, buildings and structural steel bearings applications, as well as machinery, equipment foundation, railway tie pads, and shock and vibration isolation.
Symar Load Bearing Pads are made from Symar masticated rubber which is a fully cured fibre reinforced rubber made from a proprietary blend of recycled rubbers. During the manufacturing process synthetic fibres are added to the base rubber compounds to create an internal stiffening much like steel reinforced concrete. This mesh structure delivers enhanced tensile and compressive strength, stiffness, tear resistance, durability, and superior ozone and weather resistance. These properties cannot be matched by virgin product alone.
Symar® Load Bearing Pads are manufactured in continuous cure presses, not batch presses, which allows us to economically produce custom shapes and sizes and meet the demands of large scale construction projects. Load bearing pads can be supplied to specified dimensions ready for installation, including required cut outs and holes, or in sheet form for later sizing.
Stock sheets are available in 1.219m x 1.219m (48" x 48") and 3.17mm to 25.4 mm (1/8” to 1") thickness. Custom sizes can be made to suit your application.
