NOVODAMP® Closed-cell Polyurethane
High-quality elastic support from GERB
NOVODAMP® is another innovative GERB product that meets the highest quality requirements and strictest quality control standards. Developed and manufactured in Germany, NOVODAMP® is primarily used for the elastic support of buildings, for rail tracks and track transition zones of changing stiffness conditions, but also for mass-spring systems.
Our product range includes 15 different NOVODAMP® types and thus covers a wide spectrum of applications with the most diverse load ranges. NOVODAMP® is manufactured in different thicknesses and therefore specifically adapted to your project in terms of bearing frequency.
NOVODAMP® can be supplied glued or cut to any shape. Also recesses in the material can be realized.
With the higher-frequency application range from approx. 8 Hz, NOVODAMP® complements our product range and enables a further effective solution for vibration isolation, in addition to our spring elements for the low-frequency range.
The most common areas of application are certainly the track and building sectors. Here NOVODAMP® can be used as a point or strip bearing as well as a full-surface bearing.
One strength of our closed-cell NOVODAMP® compared to open-cell elastomer materials is the very low water absorption rate, use in groundwater areas is no problem. As practically no water absorption takes place a constant support frequency is achieved. Another advantage is the very low loss factor achieved by the closed-cell structure, which also has a positive impact on the isolation effect.
In addition, it is also possible to protect the NOVODAMP® material against mechanical damage, e.g. due to gravel in under-ballast installations in rail tracks, by factory application of a fleece layer.
GERB’s scope of services not only covers production and the associated quality measures, we are also happy to provide support with the development of technical solutions and selection of the most suitable product application.
We carry out the full design of the NOVODAMP® solution, including the correct product type and dimensions, and produce the associated distribution drawings based on your project requirements.
