Meeting Industry Needs: Sorbothane® in the Expanding Market of Vibration Isolators

The market for vibration isolators is growing rapidly. According to a report from Growth Market Reports, industry growth from 2025 to 2033 is expected to display a consistent and positive direction, with the industry being worth an estimated $8.9 billion by 2033.

With increased reliance on sensitive electronics such as medical devices and consumer electronics, the need for vibration protection solutions will continue to grow.

The need for vibration solutions will continue to increase with growth in shipping and logistics, where vibration can cause costly damage. Furthermore, the expansion of the fitness, automotive, and industrial sectors requires vibration isolation for performance and safety.

As demand continues to grow, Sorbothane, Inc.’s viscoelastic material offers a proven vibration solution that meets the needs of these expanding industries.

What Are Viscoelastic Materials?

Viscoelastic materials have characteristics of both liquids and solids. When force or impact is applied, they deform like a liquid but rebound to their original shape when the force is removed. Since Sorbothane is a proprietary viscoelastic material, its ability to absorb and dissipate energy makes it excellent at damping vibration.

Why Sorbothane Leads as a Vibration Isolator

Vibration isolators are designed to reduce vibration, protect equipment, and improve overall performance in demanding applications. Sorbothane stands out as a material for vibration damping because of its superior viscoelastic properties. Unlike traditional forms of vibration isolators, Sorbothane can both isolate and damp vibrations at the same time without releasing energy back into the system. This prevents unwanted oscillations or rebounds in a system, allowing the energy to dissipate into a small amount of heat.

Supports Fast-Growing Industries

Sorbothane’s relevance to a wide array of industries makes it a leader in the projected vibration isolator market growth. Sorbothane is an attractive vibration-absorbing material to both B2B professionals and B2C consumer markets. Examples of industries that use Sorbothane include:

• Aerospace & Aeronautical – Protects critical aerospace assemblies from vibration and noise; trusted by NASA and SpaceX.
• Consumer & Commercial Products – Reduces unwanted noise and vibration for the personal comfort, health, and safety of the people in proximity to the products that produce loud sounds and vibrations.
• Industrial & Manufacturing Equipment – Minimizes wear and tear on machinery.
• Medical Equipment – Safeguards diagnostic machines and supports custom health product designs.
• Mobile Electronic Devices – Protects phones, cameras, and LCD screens from drop shock and vibration.
• Precision Laboratory Equipment – Ensures accuracy by isolating vibrations in centrifuges, mixers, and sensitive instruments.
• Sporting Goods & Fitness – Provides impact absorption in sporting and fitness equipment, playing a key role in injury prevention and comfort.
• Transportation, Shipping & Logistics – Prevents damage during transit of sensitive equipment and priceless artifacts.

Manufacturers, engineers, and logistics professionals across these sectors continue to benefit from the unique viscoelastic properties of Sorbothane. Sorbothane’s wide range of applications will allow it to continue to lead in the growing market.

Outperforms Traditional Vibration Isolators

Compared to traditional vibration isolators like rubber, springs, and foams, Sorbothane remains the best material engineered to reduce vibration, control shock, and mitigate noise vibration. Rubber can lose flexibility over time, springs create rebound, and foams compress unevenly under load. Sorbothane eliminates these issues with viscoelastic material properties that absorb and dissipate energy instead of reflecting it.

Provides Vibration Solutions for Modern Precision

As equipment gets smaller and more precise, Sorbothane continues to perform where others can’t. It provides a dependable vibration solution for compact, high-sensitivity devices in the medical, aerospace, and electronics industries.

Sorbothane’s versatility across temperatures, frequencies, and load ranges ensures it stays ahead of evolving technology. In a growing market focused on precision, performance, and longevity, Sorbothane is built for the growing future of vibration isolators.

The Proven Material Behind the Fast-Growing Vibration Isolator Market
