PORON® is a microcellular urethane foam with extremely low compression set. PORON materials are high density, flexible cellular products and are manufactured by continuously casting and curing mechanically frothed urethane intermediates to the desired thickness. By controlling chemistry and density, the properties of PORON®materials can be widely varied. PORON® Nomenclature Reference (PDF) Material Selection Guide (PDF) Rogers’ PORON® cellular urethane foam was engineered to have excellent memory (compression set resistance). Whether in gasket design, sealing, cushioning or vibration management, the PORON® line of products are low-outgassing, non-fogging, non-corrosive and will not become brittle and crumble. There are a wide range of PORON® materials available meet versatile design requirements. APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTED PROPERTIES Excellent compression set resistance which enables durable, long-term performance for gasketing, sealing and cushioning. Low-outgassing and non-fogging, containing no plasticizers or residual chemicals to contaminate the device. The material will not become brittle and crumble and is non-corrosive to metal. Inherently flame retardant without the use of additives. Many of the materials meet flammability requirements of UL HBF and MVSS 302. Engineered urethane formulations offering a wide modulus range -2-90 psi 25% deflection -for more design versatility requirements. Good chemical resistance Easy to fabricate, die-cuts cleanly and works with a broad range of adhesives Broad range of formulas and thicknesses from 0.012″ to 0.500″ (0.43mm to 12.7mm) How do I order PORON®?
