Poron is a microcellular urethane foam with a wide range of densities as well as thicknesses to provide for every application. Poron’s unique uniform microcellular design allows for an extremely low compression set making it ideal for sealing and cushioning electronics. Poron also offers great resistance to chemicals and provides good thickness uniformity and tolerances. It also has very thin product offerings with an optional PET support liner that other manufacturers do not provide.
Poron material is great for gaskets that require an adhesive, with XTO being a preferred converter for both Rogers and 3M we can meet any of your needs.

Applications of Poron
Poron foam is widely used across multiple industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, and industrial manufacturing. Its ability to maintain shape under pressure makes it an excellent choice for gasketing and sealing applications, where it effectively closes gaps and prevents leaks while keeping dust, moisture, and contaminants from entering sensitive components.
The material’s shock-absorbing properties make it valuable for cushioning and padding. It is commonly found in footwear, where it enhances comfort and support, as well as in medical devices and electronic enclosures that require vibration dampening and impact resistance.
Poron also plays a crucial role in reducing noise and mechanical stress in automotive and aerospace components. By absorbing vibrations, it helps enhance durability and stability in high-performance applications.
Poron is a great choice for applications requiring a seal, but the application such as a control box door to be opened and closed over time with the gasket not taking a set.
