With a wide range of off-the-shelf and bespoke manufactured solutions, all backed with technical excellence and an assurance of quality, we are able to make recommendations on all vibration and related problems. The Science …. TICO is a rubber bonded cork compound that is vulcanised to create three dimensional bonds. This procedure delivers greater strength + toughness, compared to glued rubber crumb products or air filled elastomers and also gives a higher resistance to break up during the life of the products. The rubber bonded cork compound has a key benefit, our pure elastomers having a high compression set that occurs within its own volume. This means the product under compression maintains its foot print and does not creep or bulge outside of the load area. TICO is only manufactured in the UK at the Tiflex facility, where it has a quality controlled production process and end of line testing. This testing verifies performance against product data sheets, giving confidence of product reliability and consistency. Over 60 years of reliability in many diverse applications, validates the TICO brand name, heritage and recognition all over the world. TICO products are designed to operate in harsh environments with its closed cell structure, providing resistance to absorption of oils & water. The product maintains it’s original performance structure through a wide temperature range, beyond that of many competitive materials.
