INTRODUCTION
METROLOAD Fibre Reinforced Load Bearing Pads are a sheet product created using 100% recycled high-quality tyres. The results Is an environmentally friendly product that is also economically viable. The rubber has increased internal strength due to the inclusion of internal fibre reinforcements dispersed throughout the material. Its strength and versatility makes it a common product for machinery, buildings, prestress concrete bridges and equipment foundations.
USES
Bearing pads are versatile and can be used in such applications as vibration isolation railway tie pads, handrail bearing pads and is commonly used in bride bearing masonry. To learn more about this product or to answer any questions you may have, give us a call on +44(0)1702 811 951 or email us and discuss with one of our experts.
MATERIAL COMPOSITION
METROLOAD is made stronger with the inclusion of interior fibre reinforcements that can be found dispersed throughout the material. This unique process enhances the properties of the material. This includes tear resistance, durability, superior weather and ozone resistance as well as tensile and compression strength.
This product can also be cut into custom-sized load bearing pads for your ease of use. Please contact us for more details.
