4 Compressible elastomer technology allows for low natural frequency at low loads
• Typical vulcanized, natural and neoprene rubber isolators are defi ned as incompressible. Theyrequire heavy mass loading in order to obtain defl ection, and consequently, vibration isolation.For applications where minimum loading criteria are not met, these systems simply do notperform well.
• Fiberglass isolators are comprised of rigid particles and when compressed they lose elasticity.The end result is a dramatic performance degradation over time.
