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.
