Heavy truck manufacturers need to use materials that can withstand immense amounts of abuse over hundreds of thousands of miles. Radiator mounts are crucial for securing the radiator, and these mounts are typically made of rubber because it is the best material for absorbing shock and vibration. However, truck companies have a common problem with rubber mounts burning up from high duty cycles over prolonged periods of time.
Do Your Rubber Radiator Mounts Keep Needing Replacement?

Installing HVAC Equipment that Looks Great and Works Great
Industrial equipment doesn’t have to look sloppy and unappealing. When installing industrial HVAC equipment, you want to have both the most efficient and the neatest process possible.
Polymer worked with a client who was unsatisfied with the aesthetics of their boiler installation. The insulation foam that wrapped around the boiler did not fit well, looked unattractive, and would often break apart during installation.
Polymer’s solution to this problem proved that aesthetics do not have to be sacrificed for functionality. Using the right insulation materials for appliances ensures that equipment will not only function well but will look visually pleasing.

Shock & Vibration Isolation 101: Everything You Need to Know
Every building experiences a certain amount of shock and/or vibration—whether caused by people or machinery. Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon in which periodic motion is generated by a force around an equilibrium point. The possible effects of these vibrations can vary from insignificant to disastrous, depending on the intensity and duration of the shock as well as the construction of the concerned structure or equipment.
