Elastomeric Bridge Bearing Pads by Deesawala Rubber Industries
Deesawala Rubber Industries, a leading name among bridge bearing manufacturers, specializes in the production of high-quality elastomeric bridge bearing Pads. These pads are essential components in bridge construction, designed to accommodate movements and rotations in bridge structures, ensuring longevity and structural integrity.
Deesawala Rubber Industries stands at the forefront as a manufacturer and supplier of elastomeric bridge bearing Pads in India, known for its state-of-the-art Material Testing Laboratory and stringent adherence to quality standards. Every bearing pad produced undergoes meticulous testing to ensure compliance with IRC CODES, MORT&H specifications (Section 2000, Clause 2005), and international standards like the Union of Railways Code UIC 772–2R, making them suitable for both road and railway bridge applications.
These elastomeric bridge bearings are engineered from high-quality polychloroprene (Neoprene) from reputed makes like Neoprene W & WRT, Bayprene, Skyprene, and Denka, ensuring a polychloroprene content of at least 60% and ash content below 5%. The laminates inside the pads conform to IS:2062 or IS:1079 steel standards, resulting in reliable, durable products.
Each pad consists of internal layers of elastomer bonded to internal steel laminates, cast as a single unit and vulcanized under heat and pressure. This design allows the bearings to efficiently accommodate both translation and rotation of the superstructure via elastic deformation, ensuring optimal performance in bridge structures.
Key physical properties include hardness between 50–70 IRHD, minimum tensile strength of 14–17 MPa, elongation at break up to 450%, and a maximum compression set of 35%. The pads offer ozone resistance, minimal performance variation in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +80°C, and exhibit excellent fire resistance, with further options available for enhanced safety requirements.
Deesawala’s Neoprene bearing pads are celebrated for their zero-maintenance characteristics, long service life—often outlasting the structures themselves—and straightforward installation. Standard sizes range from 200×300mm up to 550×550mm, with thicknesses from 10mm to 150mm, available in rectangular, square, and round shapes, with custom sizes on request.
As an ISO 9001-2015 certified company, Deesawala Rubber Industries prides itself on its expertise, premium manufacturing, and commitment to delivering the best in bridge engineering solutions across India
