Getzner presents standardised Sylomer® series

Bürs. Getzner launched its new series of Sylomer® vibration insulation products in mid-September. The materials are an integral part of the Vorarlberg-based company’s elastic construction solutions for the rail, construction and industrial sectors. The new series stands out for its increased permanent static load capabilities and improved effectiveness across the board.

Getzner Werkstoffe, a vibration insulation specialist based in western Austria, launched its latest series of materials in the middle of September. With the addition of the new optimized range, Getzner now offers a total of 10 standardised Sylomer® vibration insulation products. The improved Sylomer® formula brings a variety of advantages — users in the rail, construction and industrial segments can expect increases of 1-10% in permanent static load and improved overall performance. “The new materials offer greater efficiency and flexibility of application,” explains Getzner’s Thomas Dorn, who was responsible for the launch.

Sylomer®: hallmark colouring under a new name

Getzner has used the launch of the latest series to introduce a new uniform approach to type designation. The colouring — one of the hallmarks of the Sylomer® range — will remain unchanged. As project manager Christian Loretz explains, “We have completely reworked and improved our technical documentation, and users can also take advantage of Typematch, a new tool to help them select the right material.”

Development, manufacturing and construction consulting

Getzner Werkstoffe first appeared on the market in 1969. Besides developing and manufacturing vibration reduction and insulation materials, Getzner is also an experienced consultant for vibration insulation issues in construction engineering. Getzner’s experts are closely involved in system development and implementation from the very beginning of a particular project. “The collaboration begins with specification of the construction engineering parameters and often leads into the joint development of innovative solutions,” explains Managing Director Roland Pfefferkorn. Thanks to its technical expertise in vibration insulation, Getzner is perfectly placed to develop smart systems featuring elastic materials, which in turn ensure cost effectiveness, noise protection and user comfort.
