Sorbothane, Inc. announces they will be exhibiting at the Design and Manufacturing – Midwest 2009 Show.

Sorbothane, Inc. will display standard and custom molded products for applications requiring shock absorption, vibration isolation and acoustic damping.

Sorbothane® is the ultimate isolation material for absorbing shock and vibration. No other material can dissipate energy as effectively. In many applications Sorbothane® has absorbed up to 94.7% of the impact force. Engineers worldwide choose Sorbothane® for applications requiring shock absorption, vibration isolation and damping.

● RAPID PROTOTYPING
● LOW-COST TOOLING
● FAST TURN AROUND
● MADE IN USA

Vibration isolation padding can take many forms and serve many purposes and Sorbothane® is up to the challenge to provide the perfect solution for any application. Sorbothane® is a castable, visco-elastic polymer material that can be shaped and colored to meet your needs. Its unique, liquid solid (Visco-elastic) properties make Sorbothane® the material of choice for shock and vibration applications and pads. (more…)

Sorbothane is your solution for noise and vibration control

Sorbothane combines shock absorption, good memory, vibration isolation and vibration damping characteristics all in one solution. In addition, Sorbothane is a very effective acoustic damper and absorber. There are many materials that exhibit one or more of these characteristics, Sorbothane combines all of them in a stable material with a long fatigue life.

Sorbothane can be used for many custom shock and vibration applications, including industrial, electronics and sports and leisure. We also offer many shock and vibration solutions in our standard products guide, including isolation rings, isolation pads and sheet stock in special shapes, colors and thicknesses. (more…)

By John Steinhorst

Two good friends, Willard Latimer and Bob Pierce, were playing golf one day in 1985 at their local course in the small town of Chehalis, Washington. Bob pulled a piece of shock-absorbing material, called Sorbothane, out of his back pocket and asked Willard if he could think of anything it could be used for. Willard took it from him, felt it for a few seconds, then immediately said, “It sure would make a good gun pad.”

Willard had been an avid hunter all his life and always wished someone would invent a better recoil pad to make his shooting experiences more enjoyable. The pair of entrepre’neurs instantly recognized the benefits of such an amazing product to the hunting and shooting sports, and this important moment launched the beginning of KICK-EEZ Products.
