Fabreeka Foundation Isolation Materials - Isolation Material

FAB-EPM HP® Isolation Material:

FAB-EPM HP® vibration isolation material is a mixed cell polyurethane foam specifically designed to provide low frequency vibration isolation for building and machine foundation isolation and light rail applications. FAB-EPM HP is a high performance material manufactured in different densities, which allows for optimal isolation performance. The damping rate of the different material types varies, and natural frequency can be as low as 6 Hz. Additionally, with increased thickness, the natural frequency is reduced, which also improves isolation. FAB-EPM HP is impervious to most chemicals, alkaline solutions and oil. FAB-EPM HP material can be supplied and used in full sheet form, strips or even blocks. However, when used in full sheet form, the material becomes the base formwork for the concrete foundation. This advantage creates a simple, less labor-intensive construction method, which reduces the overall project cost. As with all non-linear, elastomeric isolators, FAB-EPM HP material reacts stiffer under dynamic loads than under static loads. The degree of stiffness depends on the material type and the load applied. Additional small dynamic loads can be applied beyond the maximum static load for each type of material. Permanent static loads cause a certain amount of creep (additional deflection over time) in all elastomeric materials. The long term creep of FAB-EPM HP material is very low when used in the static load range.

FAB-EFP® Isolation Material:

FAB-EFP® is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly isolation material created from recycled products. The material comes in large sheets for easy installation, with a wide load range, producing consistent performance. There are several different densities available for an extensive range of applications from isolating inertia masses and buildings, to industrial equipment

FABSORB® Foundation Isolation:

Fabsorb® vibration isolation material is an economical approach to foundation isolation where moderate vibration control is required. Fabsorb material absorbs machine-induced energy, limits the transmission of higher frequency disturbances and provides isolation from ambient and induced shock and vibration, which otherwise would affect the accuracy of the machine being installed.
