The maritime industry relies heavily on rubber products for a variety of uses, including seals, bumpers, fenders, tubing and hoses. Rubber products in this industry must be cost effective yet durable and robust enough to absorb high impacts. For example, vibration proofing is required in numerous marine machinery such as generators, compressors, motors, centrifuges, pumps, etc. A compression mount provides such proofing and should generally be resistant to many substances such as oil, solvents, gasoline, flame and ozone. Various types of rubbers are available for various uses. Such material include natural rubber, butyl rubber, hard rubber, hypalon, and nitrile rubber, to name a few. Less
