Introduction

Precision Engineering Consumables

Our Soft Rubber Pads are engineered specifically for curtain wall applications, providing a critical interface between glass units and aluminum frames. These pads offer superior elasticity and compression recovery to ensure long-term structural integrity and weatherproofing.

Benefits

Why Choose APEX Soft Rubber Pads

  • Superior Vibration and Noise Dampening

    Effectively absorbs structural oscillations and wind-induced vibrations, significantly reducing acoustic transmission through the facade.

  • Excellent Weather and UV Resistance

    Manufactured from high-grade elastomers that resist ozone, UV radiation, and extreme temperature fluctuations without becoming brittle.

  • Optimized Load Distribution Properties

    Provides a uniform cushion that prevents localized stress concentrations on glass edges, reducing the risk of spontaneous breakage.

  • Chemical Compatibility with Sealants

    Formulated to be non-migratory and compatible with standard structural silicones and curtain wall weather sealants.

Customization and Material Options

Available in a variety of thicknesses ranging from 1mm to 10mm, our pads can be die-cut to specific project dimensions or supplied in continuous rolls for on-site adjustment.

Material options include EPDM for general weatherproofing, Neoprene for oil resistance, and high-performance Silicone for extreme thermal environments, all meeting international ASTM and GB standards.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical guidance on selecting and installing soft rubber pads for curtain wall systems.

What is the primary function of these pads in a curtain wall?
They act as a flexible buffer between rigid components, managing thermal expansion and preventing direct glass-to-metal contact.
Are these pads compatible with structural silicone?
Yes, we offer specific EPDM and Silicone grades that are tested for compatibility to ensure no discoloration or adhesion failure occurs.
Can you provide custom shore hardness?
Absolutely. We can adjust the Shore A hardness between 40 and 80 to meet specific load-bearing or compression requirements.
How do these pads handle long-term compression set?
Our high-grade elastomers are designed for low compression set, meaning they retain their shape and sealing pressure over decades of service.
Do you offer self-adhesive backing?
Yes, pads can be supplied with a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) on one side to facilitate easier positioning during facade assembly.
