TICO Structural Bearing Products
TICO Structural Bearing Products are a popular solution to the problem of structural damage caused by shrinkage, rotation, differential settlement and localised stresses.
There are four grades of resilient seatings, the selection of which is dependent upon; unfactored dead and live loads, acoustic requirements available support, rotation and axial loads.
Key Advantages - Economically installed between elements of a building, they provide a resilient barrier to prevent structural damage. Reduce the need for expensive finishes on mating surfaces.
- Attenuation of transmitted noise.
- Available in four grades and supplied as either standard strips or pre-cut seatings to include drilled and/or slotted holes.
CV/PF/RS
A very high stress seating, manufactured from press cured layers of heavy duty synthetic rubber proofed fabric, suited to the most arduous applications.
CV/PF/RS bearings have a working stress range of 10 MN/m² to 15.5 MN/m².
CV/CA/RS
A high stress seating, manufactured from a particle loaded polychloroprene rubber, reinforced with high tensile fabric. Suitable for most building applications.
CV/CA/RS bearings have a working stress range of 4 MN/m² to 7 MN/m².
CV/M/RS
A medium stress seating, manufactured from a particle loaded polychloroporene rubber; this is the the most popular seating material - suitable for a wide range of applications, can withstand high irregularities in support surfaces.
It is a vulcanised material based on a blend of synthetic rubbers, process modifiers and cork granules. A nylon reinforcement layer is used in some thicknesses.
CV/M/RS bearings have a working stress range of 0.5 MN/m² to 1.4 MN/m².
CV/D/RS
A low stress seating, made from particle loaded polyisoprene rubber and benefiting from high damping. Designed to accommodate normal surface irregularities under low load conditions.
CV/D/RS bearings have a working stress range of 0.1 MN/m² to 0.3 MN/m².
