Elastomeric Compounds & Isolators
Our compounds conform with the requirements and testing procedures set out in BS 6177:1982 and BS EN 1337-3:2005.
Natural rubber is used in most of Farrat's elastometric isolators and provides the best characteristics for building isolation applications including:
Low stiffness/high resilience allowing natural frequencies as low as 6Hz
Long service life (50 yrs+) without deterioration or stiffening
Efficient use of material providing high cost effectiveness
Low ratio of dynamic-to-static stiffness
Low creep rate under compression load
Virtually no maintenance
