For EVA MP2E pads (i.e., black corrugated rubber sandwiching a blue foam core), performance is maximized when statically loaded to around 345 kPa. Vibration will not be as effectively absorbed when loads are less than this value.
According to Unitconverters.net, 1 kPa is equivalent to 0.145 psi, so 345 kPa is ~50 psi. A 4 square inch (2"x2") MP2E pad therefore requires loading with 200 pounds for best performance.
