Vibration damping material is used to reduce or eliminate noise in industrial, electronic, structural and ergonomic applications caused by resonance and vibration. Sorbothane is a great solution for most any application and our viscoelastic polymer has been used in everything from small gadgets, protective footwear, the U.S. Airforce Memorial, the Space Shuttle and beyond. What […]

Why Sorbothane is a Great Solution for Shock Absorption Sorbothane® is a one-of-a-kind viscoelastic polymer that was first introduced in 1982. Since its introduction, Sorbothane has been used in many varied energy absorbing product categories. It can be used in many different applications from The Liberty Bell to the Air Force Memorial to Race Cars […]

Shock absorbing pads take many shapes and forms and have uses in a wide range of applications and industries. Sorbothane has provided shock absorption pad solutions for many applications in industries ranging from sports and leisure to industrial solutions. The shock absorbing pads that Sorbothane can produce in any shape, color or style provide high […]

Sorbothane is the best solution when you need a shock absorbing material. Shock absorbing materials may also be called shock absorbing polymers, viscoelastic polymers, visco polymers or simply polymers. There are many other shock absorbent materials available like rubber, neoprene, silicone, etc. but for our purposes here we’ll discuss polymer and Sorbothane specifically. Whether the […]

A good vibration isolation solution lowers the natural frequency of a system to below the excitation (or disturbing) frequency. Keeping these two frequencies “out of sync” eliminates resonance and greatly reduces the problems of vibration. The physical properties of Sorbothane® are unique, and have become the industry standard in the pursuit to isolate external vibrations […]

Sorbothane is a great solution for vibration damping Vibration damping is a term that’s used in industrial, electronic and ergonomic applications when there is a need to reduce the amount of energy that’s produced by the system. Normally engineers try to address and reduce this energy at its source so the disturbing force is not […]

What is Vibration and Why Does it Matter? Vibration can be defined as motion generated by any mass or force acting on that mass. In some instances, vibration can be the main cause of serious damages that can destroy a machine or can lead to a human’s discomfort. Because of these issues, there are always […]

Sorbothane is a solution to the problem of vibration Vibrations are all around us. They come at us in everything from the ground as seismic disruptions to external vibrations caused by automotive and air traffic – they are a constant in our lives. Moving parts within buildings, machinery, motors, tools, and electronics all create some […]

What is Vibration Isolation? In engineering there is often a need to reduce the transmission of vibration between two elements while still maintaining mechanical support. Ultimately, the purpose of a vibration mount – and vibration isolation in general – is to reduce the effects of vibration and/or noise on people, equipment or the structure being […]

Explore the versatility of Sorbothane® as the optimal solution for vibration isolation. Vibration isolation padding can take many forms and serve many purposes. Sorbothane is a castable, viscoelastic polymer material that can be shaped and colored to meet your needs. Its unique, liquid-solid (viscoelastic) properties make Sorbothane the material of choice for shock and vibration […]
