Vibration damping plate
Fabreeka International

Fabreeka® resilient laminated fabric pad is a scientifically designed and manufactured material composed of layers of tightly twisted, closely woven lightweight duck. Each layer is impregnated with an elastomeric compound containing mold and mildew inhibiting agents. The properties of Fabreeka® are exceptionally suited for the reduction of impact shock, vibration and structure-borne noise.

Some features and benefits of Fabreeka® pads:
- Do not have a shape factor
- Exhibit relatively high damping (C/Cc -.14)
- Creep effects are reduced to a limit of 5% of original thickness
- Operating temperature limits are -65°F (-55°C) to 200°F (95°C)
- Unusually high compressive strength - 12,000 psi
- Impervious to most oils and solvents
- Resist effects of steam, water, mildew and brine
- Can be supplied in nominal thicknesses of 1/16" (1.6 mm) up to 1" (25.4 mm)
- Thicker sections can be supplied by bonding standard thicknesses together
- Can be custom fabricated to any shape or size (see OEM section for samples of fabricated parts)

Some practical aspects and considerations when using Fabreeka® pads:
- Provides stability and limited motion
- Should be used with rigid support for best performance
- Connections to isolated system should be made flexible
- Avoid metal-to-metal contact in mount attachments by including Fabreeka® Bushings and Washers
