Biomass Seismic Pads for Gas Cylinder Stands

Biomass seismic pads for gas cylinder stand

Upgrade Your Current Cylinder Stand to Seismic Level – No Replacement Required

High‑pressure gas cylinders present a serious safety risk during earthquakes if not properly secured. The Proseven Biomass Seismic Pads for Gas Cylinder Stands are specifically engineered to prevent tipping and sliding of cylinder stands during strong ground motion, while allowing facilities to continue using their existing cylinder stands—with no drilling, no anchors, and no permanent installation.

Why Seismic Pads for Cylinder Stands Are Essential

During earthquakes, unsecured gas cylinders may topple or shift, leading to:

  • ・Dangerous gas leaks or valve damage
  • ・Fire, explosion, or toxic exposure risks
  • ・Injuries to personnel
  • ・Forced shutdowns and costly downtime
  • ・Compliance and insurance issues

While chain fixation or anchor systems are commonly used, they are often impractical in rented buildings, cleanrooms, or facilities that prohibit floor drilling. Proseven’s biomass seismic pads solve this problem by creating a high‑friction, energy‑absorbing interface between the stand and the floor.

A Practical Retrofit Solution for Global Facilities

Many laboratories, hospitals, and factories already use cylinder stands that meet everyday safety needs but offer limited resistance against strong earthquakes. Replacing all existing stands can be costly, time‑consuming, and operationally disruptive.

The Proseven Biomass Seismic Pads provide a simpler alternative:

  • ・Keep your current stand
  • ・Add seismic performance
  • ・Minimize costs and downtime

This upgrade concept resonates strongly with international customers focused on ROI and operational continuity.

Biomass Seismic Pads for Existing Gas Cylinder Stands

Rather than functioning as a standalone stand, this product enhances the seismic stability of conventional single‑cylinder stands by creating a high‑friction, energy‑absorbing interface between the stand base and the floor.

This makes it an ideal solution for facilities seeking cost‑effective seismic upgrades and for distributors looking to add a high‑value safety accessory to their product lineup.

How the Biomass Seismic Pads Work

The pads are installed on the base of a cylinder stand, where they function as:

  • ・A friction‑enhancing layer against both horizontal and vertical motion.
  • ・A shock‑absorbing medium that follows seismic displacement.
  • ・A Proseven‑exclusive biomass gel upgrade delivering JMA‑7‑level proof.

Unlike rigid fixation methods, the gel material absorbs and disperses seismic energy instead of transferring it directly to the stand structure.

Why Distributors Choose This Product

For overseas distributors, the Biomass Seismic Pad offers:

  • ・Easy upselling with existing cylinder stands
  • ・Compact shipping and storage
  • ・Clear safety value proposition
  • ・Compatibility with a wide range of markets
  • ・Minimal technical explanation required

It is a low‑risk, high‑impact addition to any industrial safety portfolio.

How to remove the pads?

Cylinder stands are quite heavy.
When you need to remove the pads attached to the bottom, it is convenient to use Proseven’s Air‑UP.
By inserting it under the base and inflating it, the stand can be lifted easily.
For removing the pads themselves, insert a spatula moistened with disinfectant ethanol between the pad and the floor at several points, and they will come off smoothly.

FEATURES

Material Technology: Friction Enhanced Adhesion with Flexibility

The pads are made from a proprietary urethane gel that combines:
•Friction based adhesive force
•Controlled flexibility to follow ground motion
•Ultra low rebound characteristics

This balance allows the stand to remain stable during strong shaking while avoiding damage to floors or equipment.

Verified Seismic Performance (JMA Intensity 7 × 1.2)

Shake table tests were conducted using input motion equivalent to Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) seismic intensity level 7, the most severe class on Japan’s scale, amplified by 20% (×1.2).
This testing approach provides a globally understandable benchmark for seismic reliability.

Designed for Sustainability

The pads incorporate plant derived biomass materials, helping to reduce CO₂ emissions while maintaining industrial grade performance.
•Free from specified hazardous substances
•Conformant with RoHS 2 (EU)
•Suitable for organizations with ESG or sustainability policies
