Angle Packing Pad — L-Section
A moulded rubber pad with two legs at an angle, so it packs in one plane and locates in the other. The flat leg carries the load; the upstand stops the assembly creeping sideways and protects the corner where two faces meet. The included angle is moulded to a stated tolerance, not left to shrinkage.

Rubber Compound Options
Select the compound best suited to your operating environment and application requirements.
| Rank | Compound | Temperature | Why, for an angled packing pad |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recommended | Natural rubber | −20 to +90 °C | Best fatigue resistance, least creep and the best tear strength of the eight — and tear strength matters here, because an internal corner is where an angled section splits. Not for oil, and it perishes in prolonged sunlight |
| Recommended | Neoprene | −40 to +120 °C | Where the pad is exposed to weather or sees oil. Good fatigue life and reasonable tear strength, with better ozone resistance than natural rubber |
| Suitable | SBR | −30 to +100 °C | Low-cost enclosed packing. Fatigue and tear below natural rubber, and no oil resistance |
| Suitable | EPDM | −40 to +140 °C | Weather, ozone and steam. Creeps more than natural rubber, so allow for it in the deflection |
| Suitable | NBR | −30 to +120 °C | Where the pad sits in oil. Poor ozone resistance, so not for an exposed corner |
| Not recommended | Silicone | −60 to +220 °C | Lowest tear strength of the eight, and an internal corner is a tear origin. Specify only where temperature leaves no choice |
| Not recommended | FKM · AEM | See the compound table | Expensive sealing compounds with no fatigue, creep or tear advantage in a packing pad |

Key advantages
Why Specifiers Choose Margo
It packs and locates at the same time
The flat leg holds the gap; the upstand stops the assembly creeping sideways and protects the corner. A flat pad does the first job only — which is the whole reason to choose this shape.
Rubber does not cure at the angle you cut
Shrinkage pulls the two legs against each other, so a cavity cut at 90° does not reliably give a part at 90°. We cut the tool with compensation and give the angle a stated tolerance — because a pad two degrees out bears on an edge, not a face.
The inside corner is where it fails
An internal angle concentrates stress, and a square root is where a flexing section splits first. We radius it in the tool, and we rank compounds on tear strength as well as on load.
Two legs, two thicknesses
One leg carries load and the other locates — they rarely need the same section. Tell us what each leg does and we will set them independently rather than moulding a uniform angle and hoping.
Industries served
Global Applications
Heavy industry
corner packing and location under machine feet, frames and bearing housings
Automotive
corner packing on brackets and panels, and edge protection where painted faces meet
Infrastructure
plant and equipment corner packing. Not structural bearings, which are certified separately
Agriculture
implement frame and platform corner packing on equipment worked outdoors
Manufacturing process
From Compound to Certification
Material compounding
Polymer blending, additive integration and batch QC in our in-house lab. The compound is chosen for creep and tear resistance, since an angled section fails at its inside corner.
Mould Design & CNC
Mould design and CNC tool manufacture, in-house, held as a controlled record. The cavity angle is cut with shrinkage compensation, and the inside corner is radiused rather than square.
Compression Moulding
Compression moulding, or extrusion and cutting where the section is supplied by the metre.
Post-Cure & Trimming
Post-cure and trimming, with adhesive backing applied where specified.
Quality inspection
Included angle gauged against the drawing tolerance, plus leg dimensions, hardness and load-deflection on batch samples.
Export packaging
Industrial packing with documentation. Angle sections are packed nested and unloaded, since rubber stored under compression takes a set and the angle can be forced. ISPM-15 treated pallets where timber packaging is used.
Quality assurance
Certified to International Standards
Every product leaves our facility with a documentation package — material test reports, dimensional inspection sheets and a certificate of conformance — giving traceability from raw material to finished part.

Technical & Commercial Questions
Answers to the most common questions from engineering teams and procurement managers worldwide.
What is the minimum order quantity for this part?
We supply in bulk. The minimum run is 10,000 pieces per part number, per compound — or quoted per metre where the section is extruded, since the minimum then follows the die rather than the piece. Prototype and first-article lots sit outside the minimum.
Can you match a competitor specification or reverse-engineer an existing part?
Yes — and measure the angle on the part before you send it. Sections come out of some tools a degree or two off, and if the incumbent was out of square the assembly has usually been shimmed to suit. We work from the corner it has to sit in, not from the part that has been packing it.
What file formats do you accept for drawings?
PDF, DWG and DXF. A dimensioned section is enough — angle, both leg lengths and both leg thicknesses, with the inside radius if you have a preference. Add the load on each leg and hardness becomes our output rather than your input.
Do you provide material test reports with each shipment?
Yes. Material test reports, dimensional inspection sheets and a certificate of conformance ship with every consignment. Hardness, tensile to ASTM D412 and compression set to ASTM D395 Method B are tested in-house, and the included angle is gauged on every batch.
What are your payment and delivery terms for international orders?
TT and LC accepted, discussed per order. Ex-works Nashik or FOB Nhava Sheva. Commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin are issued with every consignment. Sections ship nested and unloaded.

Need this part quoted?
Send the angle, both leg dimensions and the load each leg carries — a dimensioned section if you have one, a sample if you do not. Tell us whether you want moulded pieces or extruded section by the metre, since the tooling differs. We return the section, the compound and the hardness, then quote. We respond within 48 hours.
