Vibration isolation in maritime environments

home• Applications• Industry• Ships and offshore platforms

Getzner solutions have been successfully used for vibration isolation on board marine vessels for many years now. Vibration on ships and offshore platforms presents a problem in that it can cause damage to the infrastructure, to mechanical systems and to sensitive items of equipment. Structure-borne noise and secondary airborne noise also have an impact on the well-being of those on board, reduce levels of comfort and make it impossible to work productively. 

Getzner has developed a group of materials in the Sylomer® Marine FR series specifically for use on ships and offshore platforms. They have been certified as fire-retardant under the IMO fire standards and SOLAS guidelines. The company also has the "wheelmark" certification required for products used on board marine vessels.
