Poron materials for required sealing jobs
PORON is a microcellular urethane foam with an extremely low compression set. PORON materials are high density flexible cellular products and were designed to have excellent permanent deformation resistance.
Poron PUR foam is used for sealing solutions such as gaskets or as shock absorption. Whether it's gasket design, sealing, shock absorption or vibration control, the PORON range of products provides durable, long-term performance with low degassing. Thanks to the uniform surface and the good thickness tolerance, the material is suitable for various solutions in the industrial sector. A wide range of PORON materials is available to meet versatile design requirements. All products are available with mounting adhesive.
Poron foam is a microcellular urethane foam known for its durable and flexible properties. Microcellular urethane foam has a finer cell structure and higher density compared to traditional urethane foam, which is softer, more elastic, and porous.
Traditional urethane foam is used in various applications such as upholstery for furniture and mattresses, insoles for footwear, and packaging solutions. On the other hand, microcellular foam, with its denser cell structure and excellent water-repellent qualities, is an excellent material for sealing solutions, such as gaskets, or for vibration control.
Poron foam possesses several qualities that make it suitable for various purposes. The microcellular urethane foam has excellent resistance to permanent deformation, making it a durable solution with long-term performance for gaskets and seals.
Additionally, the material's flexibility and high energy absorption provide good shock absorption qualities, which are advantageous for vibration control.
The material exhibits low outgassing, meaning it does not release harmful chemicals or contaminants that could pollute the environment. It is also ozone and UV resistant, making it resistant to UVA and UVB rays.
Depending on the type of Poron material chosen, it can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 to +90 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for various environments.
Due to its closed-cell structure, Poron foam is resistant to different types of liquids such as water or various oils, making it an ideal material for gaskets and sealing strips.
The material's excellent compression capabilities and tight cell structure make it highly suitable for sealing and insulation. Its resistance to heat, chemicals, and oils also makes it applicable for gaskets in various settings.
The flexible structure of the foam makes it particularly useful for sealing strips, preventing leakage or fluid seepage. The foam's flexibility allows for compression, ensuring a tight seal.
Gaskets and sealing strips made from this foam are lightweight and flexible, making them easy to handle and install.
As mentioned earlier, microcellular urethane foam can be used effectively for vibration damping, reducing noise by absorbing and minimizing vibrations. This reduction in vibrations can help prevent equipment damage and extend its lifespan.
Since the foam has excellent resistance to deformation caused by moving parts, vibration damping with this foam type has a lasting effect.
Poron foam is also suitable for protecting sensitive electronic components. The foam's excellent shock-absorbing and insulating properties can prevent damage caused by impacts or shocks, and it can act as a barrier against liquids, moisture, or other external factors that could potentially harm the components.
Due to its flexible nature, the foam is easy to customize to precise dimensions, including the use of water jet cutting for accurate and repeatable cuts.
