The Vib-X Vibration Isolation Pad absorbs vibration energy and thus prevents the transmission of shock or vibration from one surface to another surface. Vib-X Padding may be used to mount noisy machinery or to attach an independent ‘floating’ stud wall for room-within-a-room isolation.The cross-ribbed construction acts as an efficient energy absorber, enabling large horizontal forces to be generated without slippage or "walking" occurring.
