Formül Kauçuk elastomeric (neoprene) bridge bearings are high-strength structural components manufactured by vulcanizing waterproof rubber and steel plates under high temperature and pressure. These bearings are designed to safely transfer loads from the superstructure to bridge piers and supports in bridges and viaducts. Natural rubber (NR) or chloroprene rubber (CR) compounds are used in production, while all-rubber bearings can also be manufactured for specific applications.
Steel reinforcing plates are bonded with neoprene material to create a composite structure with high load-bearing capacity. Thanks to this manufacturing method, FORMÜL KAUÇUK elastomeric bearings provide long-term resistance to corrosion and exhibit excellent resistance to oil, grease, petroleum products, sunlight, snow, and de-icing chemicals.
Laminated elastomeric bearings are designed and manufactured according to international standards and modern engineering principles to safely transfer traffic loads, seismic loads, wind loads, and other structural forces to bridge supports.

Elastomeric bridge bearings are widely used in bridges, viaducts, overpasses, railway structures, precast concrete structures, industrial facilities, and various engineering projects. They support vertical and horizontal loads while absorbing stresses caused by seismic activity, wind, and traffic loads.
Neoprene bridge bearings improve structural safety by accommodating movements and deformations thanks to their high load capacity and elastic properties. Reinforced with steel plates, they can withstand heavy loads and provide reliable performance for many years. Their corrosion-resistant structure minimizes maintenance requirements and offers an economical solution.
