Stainless Steel

Mason Industries was started in 1958. Our first effort went toward the creation of a totally new approach to Vibration Isolation using high deflection free standing springs as opposed to traditional inadequate methods. Our more recent work includes new approaches to both seismic and bomb blast protection, architectural isolation for floating floors, walls and ceilings, and complete building isolation, always using our own designs or new methods.

In the molded spherical rubber expansion world we started with Masonflex and Superflex that have a 35 year history and culminated our development with Safeflex, the only Kevlar reinforced spherical joint molded in high temperature EPDM with escape proof flanges in 1996.

In order to complete our rubber offering, we acquired the Mercer Rubber Company in 1984 and increased our size capability to diameters of more than 12 feet with virtually unlimited shape and movement capability.

Wonderful as rubber materials are, we still needed stainless steel products for corrosive fluids and gases or temperatures and pressures out of the rubber range. We lacked the ability to handle extreme seismic motions across building joints as well. We entered the stainless steel market in 2004 to overcome these shortcomings. Startup included basic products of high quality with improvements such as floating flanges and a reluctance to furnish short, cheap ineffective lengths. It is our intention, as always, to build on this base and try to solve the problems other people walk away from. It would not be our way to do it any differently.
