Unisorb® Isolation Pad materials offer superior performance because they have been specifically engineered to provide optimum compression rates for the inertia block foundation while using standard construction techniques. These products are unaffected by oils, coolants, cutting fluids and other liquids normally found in the industrial environment. Unisorb® Isolation Pad materials are conservatively rated, providing a life expectancy which exceeds that of the machinery being installed.

The long-standing industry standard for foundation isolation, IB500 pads are manufactured from high-performance synthetic wool and encapsulated with durable, waterproof sheeting. Supplied in 1/2″ thick sheets, they are easy to place within the foundation pit prior to pouring the concrete inertia block. 

IB500 provides a reliable, engineered isolation layer with a typical natural frequency range of approximately 8–19 Hz, delivering effective vibration control for a wide range of industrial applications. Its inherent damping characteristics help absorb and dissipate energy, reducing both transmitted vibration and structure-borne noise. 

Simple to install and proven in the field, IB500 remains a trusted solution for creating stable, isolated machine foundations that enhance performance, reduce vibration-related issues, and support long-term operational reliability.
