PORON® Foam — A Tough Material For Industrial Use

Industrial equipment and machinery require durable materials that are built to last. Rogers Corporation has provided the solution with PORON^® foam. This polyurethane material is rugged and endures years (even decades) of use without degrading or falling apart. Here’s a quick look at PORON foam and why it’s your best choice for industrial purposes.

Purposes for PORON Foam

PORON foam is outstanding for a variety of applications, some of which include:

• Cushioning
• Gasketing
• Sealing
• Vibration, Sound, and Impact management and absorption

These capacities make PORON foam a great option for components in automobiles, aerospace equipment, industrial machinery, computers, electrical enclosures, and many more uses.

Why PORON Foam Could Be a Good Fit for You

• Flexible materials are valuable when they can revert to their original state after withstanding pressure. This is called compression set resistance and PORON foam is incredible in this category.
• If your equipment or machinery needs to resist chemicals and other liquids, PORON foam is the answer due to its low outgassing status.
• You want your flexible materials to be easy to work with. PORON foam can be effortlessly cut and manufactured and plays nicely with adhesives and other materials.

PORON Foam Options for Industrial Use

PORON foam comes in a variety of products. Some of the best options for industrial use include:

PORON 4701

This line ranges from soft to very firm with thicknesses ranging from as low as 0.79 mm up to 12.7 mm. The 4701 foams are perfect for gaskets, gap filling, impact and energy management, and more.

PORON 4790

These foams are used in a variety of environments, but they’re especially useful for use in electronic displays for cushioning and shock absorption.
