Vibsorb ROF load Bearing Pads are made of fully cured masticated fiber reinforced rubber made from a proprietary blend of virgin and recycled rubbers. During the manufacturing process, synthetic fibers are added to the base rubber compounds to create an internal stiffening – much like reinforced concrete. This mesh structure delivers enhanced tensile, compressive strength, stiffness, tear resistance, durability, and superior ozone and weather resistance

Benchmark accepts no responsibility for individual results obtained. Everyone is strongly recommended to verify data and obtain their own independent test results. This data is subject to change without notice.
Can Vibsorb Vibration Absorption Pads act as an electrical insulator?
Yes. Vibsorb is partially made from rubber and as such has a dielectric strength of 12,500 volts (210 volts / mil) and a resistivity of 8.5 x 10e9 ohm – cm. Natural rubber has an electrical resistance value of 10e15 ohm-cm for comparison.
Vibsorb is a high capacity preformed cushioning pad fabricated using multiple layers of high quality cotton polyester duck fabric, completely impregnated with a high-grade nitrile compound. Finished Vibsorb Vibration Absorption pads will withstand compressive loads perpendicular to the plane of laminations of 10,000 pounds minimum per square inch without detrimental reduction in thickness or extrusion.
