Neoprene Rubber Pad

◆◆ Neoprene rubber pads possess the following characteristics:

1.Excellent Elasticity and Shock-Absorbing Performance: Neoprene rubber itself has good elasticity, with a hardness range typically between 50-90 Shore A. It can effectively absorb vibration energy, features a high loss factor, and delivers significant shock-absorbing effects, which helps reduce damage to equipment or structures caused by vibrations.

2.Superior Weather Resistance: It maintains stable performance within the temperature range of -20℃ to 100℃, resists ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ozone aging, and is suitable for long-term outdoor use.

3.Outstanding Chemical Resistance: It has strong resistance to various chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and oils. Its oil resistance is second only to nitrile rubber, and it exhibits good resistance to inorganic acids and alkalis, making it applicable in harsh environments like chemical industry settings and marine areas.

4.High Wear Resistance: Neoprene rubber has excellent wear resistance, enabling it to maintain stable performance during long-term use. It is suitable for high-load and high-friction working environments.

5.Good Sealing Performance: Neoprene rubber offers good water resistance and sealing properties. It can be used to seal various gaps, holes, etc., preventing leakage of water, dust, gases, and other substances.

6.Certain Flame Retardancy: It has a certain level of flame retardancy, with a decomposition temperature of 230-260℃. It can withstand temperatures of 120-150℃ for short periods and can be used continuously at 80-100℃.

7.Diversified Structural Designs: For example, the studded structure of stud-type neoprene rubber pads enhances friction and fixing effects, disperses the received vibration energy in multiple directions to avoid damage caused by excessive stress on a single point, and can be spliced to expand into a larger shock-proof area; neoprene rubber pads with metal skeletons can enhance strength and load-bearing capacity.

8.Good Processability: It is easy to manufacture products of various shapes and sizes, and has good self-adhesion and mutual adhesion, allowing it to bond well with other materials.

9.Easy Installation: For instance, stud-type neoprene rubber pads are easy to fix and install. They can be quickly installed at the required positions using nails or other fixing methods, improving installation efficiency and reducing installation costs.

◆◆ Main Application Scenarios of Neoprene Rubber Pads

1.Construction Field

1.1 Bridge Construction: At the supporting parts of bridges, neoprene rubber pads can play the role of shock absorption and buffering, reducing the impact of vehicle traffic on the bridge structure and extending the service life of the bridge. Meanwhile, they can reliably transmit the reaction force of the superstructure to the piers and abutments, and adapt to the rotation and horizontal displacement of the beam ends.

1.2 Building Seismic Facilities: Installing neoprene rubber pads between the foundation and superstructure of a building can effectively reduce the impact of external forces such as earthquakes on the building and improve the seismic performance of the building.

2.Transportation Field

2.1 Rail Shock Absorption: They can be used as elastic pads for railway tracks and tram tracks, reducing the vibration and impact generated during train operation, lowering noise, improving riding comfort and safety, and at the same time reducing damage to the tracks and surrounding facilities.

2.2 Vehicle Components: Neoprene rubber pads used in parts such as automobile suspensions and truck compartments can absorb the vibration energy generated during vehicle operation, enhance driving smoothness and comfort, and reduce vibration damage to other vehicle components.

3.Industrial Field

3.1 Anti-Vibration Support: Industrial equipment such as pumps, compressors, and generators will generate vibration during operation. Neoprene rubber pads can be used as anti-vibration bases for these equipment, reducing the impact of vibration on the equipment itself, surrounding equipment, and building structures, and extending the service life of the equipment.

3.2 Sealing and Leak Prevention: Neoprene rubber pads can be used as sealing gaskets at pipeline connections. Combined with their own elasticity and nail-type structure, they can enhance sealing performance, prevent the leakage of liquid or gas in the pipeline, and ensure the normal operation of the pipeline system.

4.Other Fields

4.1 Hydropower Engineering: They are used for shock absorption and buffering in water conservancy facilities such as hydropower stations, reducing the impact of vibration and noise generated by equipment operation on the surrounding environment and the equipment itself, and improving the stability and safety of the facilities.

4.2 Sports Equipment: In some fitness equipment and sports venue facilities, neoprene rubber pads can reduce vibration and noise, providing a better user experience.

◆◆ Installation Steps for Chloroprene Rubber Pads

I. Pre-Installation Preparation

1.1 Check design drawings, clarify pad model, installation position and load requirements, and conduct technical disclosure;

1.2 Inspect pads (no cracks/bubbles, compliant size and hardness), and prepare tools (tape measure, level, adhesive/bolts);

1.3 Clean the base (remove dust and oil), grind and level it, ensuring the bonding area between the pad and base is ≥95%.

II. Positioning and Pre-Installation

2.1 Mark outline lines as per drawings, and check the spacing between multiple pads (tolerance ≤5mm);

2.2 Place pads temporarily, check levelness (≤0.1mm/m for equipment, ≤0.2mm/m for buildings), and use thin rubber gaskets (≤2mm) to adjust for height differences.

III. Fixing and Sealing

3.1 Light load: Bond with epoxy adhesive (apply 3-5mm thick, apply pressure ≥0.1MPa, cure for 24-48h); Medium-heavy load: Fix with stainless steel bolts (drill holes 1-2mm larger than bolts, tighten to torque); Tracks: Embed (fill grooves with adhesive);

3.2 Outdoor/humid environment: Apply waterproof adhesive to joints; High-temperature/chemical environment: Cover with protective layer.

IV. Inspection and Maintenance

4.1 Check that pads are intact and secure; verify position (≤3mm), levelness and gaps (≤0.5mm); load testing is optional for critical structures (compression deformation ≤10%);

4.2 Record data, inspect every 6-12 months, and repair aging or loose pads promptly.

V. Key Precautions

5.1 Prevent scratches; avoid strong oxidants and aromatic solvents;

5.2 Hoist heavy equipment stably to prevent impact damage.
