Sorbothane

AAG offers Sorbothane, a viscoelastic material that has been specified by engineers worldwide for more than three decades. Sorbothane is a highly damping polymeric solid that “flows” like a liquid under load. Through numerous applications and tests, Sorbothane has achieved shock absorption levels of up to 94.7%.

Sorbothane remains stable across a wide temperature range, enabling it to isolate harmful vibrations and damp in a wide variety of conditions. Its near-perfect memory ensures that it retains its original shape even after repeated compression. The material is ideal for engineering applications requiring shock absorption, vibration isolation, and acoustic damping. 

Sorbothane is manufactured with a Shore A hardness of 25–85 and is therefore considered a very soft polyurethane.

Advantages

• Sorbothane has a low creep rate compared to other polymers.
• Sorbothane has a superior damping coefficient over a very wide temperature range compared to other polymers.
• Unlike liquid-filled shock absorbers or foam products, Sorbothane effectively absorbs shock for millions of cycles.
• Sorbothane returns the system to its equilibrium position after absorbing shocks without the use of metal springs.
