The Quiet One™

Shocksox®

Egg Smash

Sorbothane® is recognized worldwide as the ultimate material for attenuating shock, isolating vibration and damping noise. No synthetic rubber or polymer can dissipate energy as effectively. Sorbothane® is a highly damped, visco-elastic polymeric solid that flows like a liquid under load. Since its introduction in 1982, Sorbothane® has been used in many energy absorbing product applications. Our engineers partnered with NASA to design a unique Sorbothane® isolator that protects the vital shuttle cameras during launch. Curators from the National Park Service and the Philadelphia Museum of Art placed their complete trust and confidence in a specially designed Sorbothane® isolation system that protected the historic Liberty Bell, from further damage, as it was successfully transported 935 feet to its new home. When Wilson Sporting Goods needed a superior shock absorbing pad, for their new professional series of baseball gloves, they turned to Sorbothane®. The 270 feet high Air Force Memorial could not have been successfully constructed without Sorbothane® dampers helping to displace wind energy and prevent destructive oscillation of the distinctive stainless steel spires. Unique applications call for unique solutions. Select from our Standard Line of isolators, dampers and sheet stock. Or allow our engineers to design the ideal custom component to meet your individual product objectives.
