Protecting Our World with High Performance Foams

Automotive interiors and exteriors are subjected to a variety of extreme environmental conditions. Safety is also a concern as severe damage is possible if the battery pack is not properly sealed. Gaskets and gap fillers are needed to protect sensitive electronics and seal out air, water, dust, light, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Rogers’ foam materials are designed for high temperature/high pressure gasketing applications. They contain no plasticizers or residual chemicals to contaminate devices. The material will not become brittle and crumble, and is non-corrosive to metal.

Gasketing, Sealing, and Gap Filling
High performance materials to seal out water and dust, reduce noise, shock, vibration, and provide long-term gap filling in a broad range of automotive applications.

The smaller, more powerful, and more versatile portable communications devices get the more important it is to protect sensitive electronics, such as displays and batteries. Getting molded enclosures and hardware to fit as planned is difficult, especially in mobile devices. Continuing advancements require solving demanding design, application, and fabrication challenges.

Rogers’ high performance foams absorb and distribute impact energy, shielding mechanical components and electronics, preventing unwanted damage, such as cracks in cell phone screens.

Gasket, Sealing, and Gap Filling
High performance materials to seal out water and dust, impact absorption, and provide long-term gap filling in handheld device applications.

Foot Pads
Anti-slip material designed to protect and cushion for use in telephones, DVD players, computers, and many other consumer electronics.

Friction or impact can lead to vibration between mating components. This can produce significant wear and shorter product life cycles. In addition, load limits, bolt patterns, and flange design impact seal performance. Assembled housings and enclosures must ensure adequate gasket compression to provide the required level of seal.

Rogers’ foam materials have a relatively flat compression force deflection curve. This compressibility enables the load to remain within required limits while accommodating a larger range of compressions. This widens overall design limits beyond the capabilities of many materials, such as elastomers.

Enclosure Panel, Door, & Window Seals
High performance foams whose unique formulation will not take a set or relax, maintaining an effective seal over the life of the material.

Daily wear can be tough on a product and its wearer. Designs strive for lighter, stronger, and more flexible materials in everything from shoes and clothing to outdoor gear and athletic equipment. Rogers’ high performance urethane foams deliver consistent, long-lasting cushioning comfort.

Antimicrobial Protection
PORON® Cushioning with Microban antimicrobial protection inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew that can cause product stains and odors.

Comfort
PORON® performance urethanes offer maximum retention of comfort and flexibility.

Cushioning and Shock Absorption
PORON® materials have been designed to provide maximum repeated shock absorption from minimum thickness.

Moisture Management
Extra absorbent material wicks away moisture from the body during use, then releasing the moisture vapor when not in use.

Advances in medical technology never stop, from orthopedics and prosthetics to transdermal patches and IV site dressings. Healing is faster when medical cushioning & wound dressings absorb impact, retain shape, and hinder infection.

Patient Cushioning
PORON Medical® cellular urethanes are engineered, medium density, microcellular foam material used in orthopedic and prosthetic applications, including custom orthotics, custom prefabricated orthotics, prosthetic padding and other biomechanical supports.

Wound Dressing
Comfortable, breathable and stain-resistant, DERMABAK® advanced dermal materials are specifically designed for use in advanced wound dressing backings, transdermal patches, IV site dressings and EKG electrodes.

Transportation engineers and designers are under tremendous pressure to deliver high-quality and very long-lasting products that integrate a variety of diverse components. This includes control panels, sidewall and ceiling liners, seat cushions, and floors. In addition, they must be sensitive to travelers demands for low levels of noise and vibration.

A specific sealing strip can be the main vibration isolator between two expensive wall panels. The right gaskets and seals block the path of sound and vibration, reducing noise and ensuring a more comfortable ride. They also protect mechanical parts and sensitive electronics from the damaging effects of friction and wear.

Gasketing & Sealing
High temperature silicone materials, ideal for use as gaskets and seals, cushions, and thermal and acoustic insulation in demanding conditions.

Vibration Isolation
BISCO® Cellular and Specialty Silicones provide acoustic solutions that mitigate noise, resulting in quiet interior cabins.

Sports equipment is engineered to provide reliable protection even under extreme conditions. Bulky padding is uncomfortable and rigid. You want a unique, custom fit that is comfortable, ensures ease of motion, and absorbs impact.

Rogers’ materials deliver wearable protection that’s comfortable, lightweight, flexible, and breathable. In side-by-side tests, our urethane foams outperform vinyl sponge, neoprene sponge, sponge rubber, latest foam, vinyl nitrile, and solid viscoelastic.

Impact Absorption
Our state-of-the-art materials are the choice for extreme impact protection. They are soft and contouring against the body, yet instantly dissipate force on impact.
