Sorbothane Passes the Egg Smash Test - Why It's The Best Impact Absorbing Material

Can Sorbothane® prevent the force delivered by a wooden mallet from smashing a raw egg? As a proprietary, visco-elastic polymer, Sorbothane® shock absorbing protects delicate parts from damage and returns to its original shape. Converting energy into heat, Sorbothane® combines the characteristics of shock absorption, vibration isolation, good memory and vibration damping to protect any object.

The Shock Absorbing & Dampening Powers of Sorbothane

Sorbothane® is a thermoset, polyether-based, polyurethane material that combines shock absorption, good memory, vibration isolation and vibration damping characteristics. Many materials exhibit only one of these characteristics, but Sorbothane® combines all of them in one stable material. Sorbothane® has wide applications in shock absorption, vibration isolation, vibration damping and more. Watch this video to see the absorbing and dampening powers of Sorbothane®.

Sorbothane Spotlight - TV Feature on That's Incredible!

Sorbothane® is featured on its first episode of That’s Incredible!, where Dr. Hiles demonstrates its unique ability to absorb shock.

Vibration Reduction with Sorbothane - A Side-By-Side Comparison

Sorbothane® is used as a vibration isolation solution in a helicopter, as captured by a GoPro camera. View the side-by-side comparison of foam weather stripping vs. Sorbothane® being used to reduce vibration.

Sorbothane Vibration Isolation - How Is It Different than Rubber?

How is Sorbothane® different than rubber? It's softer than rubber and produced using a low-pressure liquid and casing method. Sorbothane® also has a very high damping coefficient and combines shock absorption, good memory, vibration isolation and vibration damping characteristics, whereas many other materials only exhibit one of these characteristics.
