<h5>PORON<sup> </sup>cellular urethane foams offer a broad range of design solutions for gasketing, sealing, and energy absorption.</h5>
<p>Through a unique manufacturing process, PORON materials can be formulated in a wide range of firmnesses and a variety of densities within each formulation.</p>
<p>PORON urethanes are supplied in continuous rolls and can be easily fabricated: die-cut, slit, machined and laminated.</p>
<h5><strong>An outstanding combination of properties are exhibited by PORON urethanes</strong></h5>
<ol>
<li>Excellent resistance to compression set</li>
<li>High-energy absorption</li>
<li>Low out-gassing</li>
<li>Resistance to temperatures</li>
<li>Bondable surface</li>
<li>Low hydrolysis</li>
<li>No plasticizers to migrate</li>
<li>High internal strength and dimensional stability</li>
<li>Chemical resistance</li>
</ol>
