The Type “W” Neoprene Waffle Pad has greater carrying capacity per square inch, increased holding power and a built in contamination seal. Identical rubber grids are molded back to back for maximum rubber contact area and resistance to rib collapse or hinging. The interconnections form suction pockets for gripping smooth steel as well as rough surfaces and also act as dirt and oil dams at the perimeter regardless of how the pad is cut. The square waffle pattern is laid out on 1/2” 13mm centers to facilitate cutting pads to size in the field without the need for measuring with a tape measure.
