PORON® AquaPRO™ 37 - SOFT Foam, Water Sealing Solutions

Written by Katie Sullivan | February 10, 2015 3:30 PM

Sealing out moisture can be one of the most important design features of a product. Water ingress, even just a drop, can cause substantial and irreparable damage to electronics, sensors, and other sensitive components.

This is why we are excited to tell you about a new high-performance foam material from Rogers Corporation. The newest addition to the Rogers line of foam products, the AquaPRO™ family provides enhanced water sealing solutions. Material densities range from "soft" (41) to "very soft" (37). This new Poron formulation is available in a range of thicknesses.    

The AquaPRO™ family provides enhanced protection from water ingress due to its water sealing capability and long-term performance. The new formulation requires the lowest compression force of any PORON® water sealing formulation in achieving a tight seal.
