| FROM the title of METALASTIK Ltd. it is not difficult to deduce that the Company's activities will be the development and production of RUBBER-BONDED-TO-METAL mounting units specifically designed for the elimination of undesirable vibrations, oscillations, and consequent noises. METALASTIK Ltd. possesses its own patents, methods and exclusive designs, as well as an expert staff having a thorough knowledge of the innumerable vibration problems. With its exceptional facilities for research and experimental work the Company is able to offer a practical solution for most vibration problems. In the METALASTIK process rubber is indivisibly attached to metal. This process is not merely one of “sticking together”; instead, METALASTIK technicians have succeeded in effecting a complete homogeneous fusion of the two substances. So strong is the joint between rubber and metal that under tensile stress the rubber will tear before the joined surfaces show the slightest sign of parting. The METALASTIK process has been extended to cover the joining of ALUMINIUM and rubber as well as the use of synthetic rubber for application where heat, oils and oily vapours cannot be avoided. The following examples show some of the important applications of METALASTIK METALASTIK INSTRUMENT MOUNTINGS METALASTIK Instrument Mounting In aircraft, motor cars, motor boats and many other instances delicate observation and recording instruments, highly sensitive to shock and vibration, are regularly employed. By suspending the dashboard or instrument itself upon METALASTIK units, the most sensitive instruments will function with consistent accuracy. The foregoing are only a few of the many examples of the use of METALASTIK products Besides all the various applications mentioned previously METALASTIK will prove its worth in almost all fields of industry. Amongst these may be mentioned: Steam and Diesel Engines Electric Motors Compressors Refrigerators Tool Machines Railway Engines and Carriages Precision Instruments and Tools Optical Instruments and Tools Transmissions Agricultural Machinery Machinery of all kinds METALASTIK Mounting for Tool Machines METALASTIK Mounting for Electric Motors and Tool Machines METALASTIK Machine Mounting If you are confronted with any problem appertaining to vibration and its consequent destructive forces, we are confident we can help you.
