About Syncolite Cork-Filled Underlay

The Cork-filled composition was specially developed as an Underlay to receive PVC and Lino tiles/roll for the Indian built frigates by the Navy and has special features. It is very resilient and can take up the most severe vibrations and distortions generally encountered on ships where deck plating is very thin. As it can be spread to a minimum thickness of 3 mm, it reduces the dead weight considerably. It is bound with a high-build synthetic resin emulsion. Moreover, cork base imparts sound deadening properties and it is soft to tread.

Syncolite has been tested in Germany and meets the Standards prescribed under IMO Resolutions A 653 (16) and A 687 (17). Further, it carries .a permanent approval accorded by the Director General of Shipping, Govt. of India.

Our 'Syncolite' light-weight composition has characteristics similar to the compositions laid on ships built in the Yards of the Western Countries. The advantage of this composition is that it can be laid thin since it is laid directly on to the steel plates without the necessity of welding any anchoring lugs and hence can be laid as thin as required.
