Our shock-absorbers Supersorb & Orthosorb available again
Our shock-absorbers nora® Supersorb and nora® Orthosorb are available again!
Unfortunately, for a long time there were delivery problems with a certain raw material that is necessary for these special materials, so that we almost stopped producing both products. But the special properties of these shock-absorbers are so popular that we have done everything in our power to find a supplier whose raw material does not pose any quality problems. And now we finally have the shock- absorbers nora® Supersorb and nora® Orthosorb available again!
material informations
Properties Supersorb:
Hardness: approx. 28 Shore A
Density: approx. 1,09 g/cm³
Format: approx. 780 x 525 mm
Profile: 13 Rippled
Colour: 82 brick red
Thicknesses: 2 | 4 | 5 mm
Intended applications: very well suited for heel damping and cushioning in particular of sports shoes, function from approx. 300 kg of tread force. Both shock-absorbing and resilient, cushioning properties. Shock absorption at a thickness of 5 mm: approx. 95 %.
Properties Orthosorb:
Hardness: approx. 20 Shore A
Density: approx. 1,09 g/cm³
Format: approx. 780 x 525 mm
Profile: 13 Rippled
Colour: 98 green
Thicknesses: 2 | 3 | 4 mm
Intended applications: very well suited for heel damping and cushioning in particular for orthopaedic shoes. As compared to Supersorb, a lesser dampening of Orthosorb ensures a better cushioning and higher resilience, up to a tread force of approx. 300 kg. This corresponds to the walking load of a person of approx. 80 kg. Shock absorption at a thickness of 4 mm: approx. 83 %.
Processing notes: sand slightly and bond with polychloroprene adhesive. When roughening or grinding, only press slightly onto the grinding belt.
In order to make full use of the visco-elastic properties of the material in all directions, do not bond on the complete surface, if possible.
Comment: small flaws (e.g. small black dots on the material) can’t be avoided, but they do not compromise the excellent shock-absorbing properties at all.
