Comfort Cushioning

Comfort Cushioning

Today’s demanding consumers are looking for comfort and resilience. They want a product that feels right from first wear and that will last. The good news is that comfort no longer requires two inches of foam padding. Whether you’re designing insoles or bag straps or gloves, today’s high performance PORON® materials provide comfort and performance in a low profile form that will enhance your designs.

Resilient & Comfortable

You need innovative materials that are designed to reduce stress on joints and soft tissues of the body. PORON Cushioning offers the right amount of energy return, which is essential for all-day comfort. It’s excellent compression-set resistance will not break down with repeated use.

PORON® Plus Cushioning gives you consistent, long-lasting cushioning comfort. A lightweight, flexible material, it provides the perfect amount of softness with added energy return to help cushion joints and soft tissue.

Consistent Cushioning Use After Use

You want to provide consistent comfort and performance over time. But most cushioning breaks down, usually much sooner than you’d like. PORON® materials have a unique open cell structure that produces a breathable foam that will not break down with continual use.

Antimicrobial Protection

Warm, moist environments are found in a variety of places, including shoes and protective equipment. But this doesn’t have to happen to your products. Microban technology is infused into most PORON Cushioning material for long-lasting cushioning comfort and protection that won’t wash off or wear away for the lifetime of the foam.

PORON® Cushioning Materials are infused with Microban® antimicrobial protection during the beginning stages of manufacturing. PORON materials with Microban technology provide consistent, reliable, and long-lasting antimicrobial protection that will not rub, wear, or wash away.
