Series

• Heat resistant Series

  This series realizes high heat resistance while maintaining high performance such as high sealing performance, vibration-absorbing property, and dimensional stability, which are characteristic of PORON.

• Standard Series

  With variety of density lineup, this series corresponds various application, such as seals, vibration insulation and shock absorption.

• Low-Outgassing Flame-Retardant Series

  This series materials are low-outgassing and low combustible: safe, clean and eco-friendly.

• PET Support Thin Material Series

  PET film body molding technology realizes a thinner foam with a low resilience and contains additional features, such as flame-retardant properties. This series can satisfy any fields of customer needs.

• Special Surface Series

  While maintaining the same basic characteristics, we have added a series with new features, like high friction, high slidability and high surface strength, through special surface treatment.

• Foot Pad Series

  The Foot Pad series includes materials with a comparably high hardness grade. This grade is specifically for foot rubber.

• Consumer Series

  A high-performance shock-absorbent series with cushioning and contour-fitting performance making it ideal for applications such as shoe insoles and sports pads.

• Others

  Can be used as the optimal secondary water sealant for for sealing water in public construction and civil engineering as well as for waterproofing water supply systems in household equipment.

Application

• Mobile & Electronics

  A special grade developed to respond to needs such as high reliability, compactness, lightweight and thinness by adding optimal functions to mobile devices. PORON for mobile and electronics applications.

• Automotive

  In addition to sealing and packing used in the harsh environment surrounding the engine, these products support creation of the optimal travelling space as vibration-control material and cushioning material in the form of interior instrument panels, navigation systems, glove boxes and so on. PORON for automotive applications.

• Foot Pad

  In household appliances, large health, medical and beauty therapy equipment of medium to heavy weight and light to medium weight small/thin PC, AV, game consoles and surrounding parts, this special-purpose foot rubber PORON product capable of gripping offers low compression set, excellent vibration absorption, stain resistance and anti-slipping functions in order to support firm footing.

• Consumer

  PORON for consumer applications which provides a new-sensation fitting feel and supports shock absorption across a broad range of active scenes. This product has an overwhelmingly low compression set compared with other material such as EVA and gel and has been continuously adopted in shoe insoles, the internal shock-absorbent pads of sport gear/wear, etc. in order to achieve high shock absorption and resistance.

• Civil Construction & Housing

  PORON for infrastructure applications which have earned a strong reputation as water-sealing material for concrete product interfaces and sealant for the outer panels of buildings. This product also demonstrates its strength in waterproofing measures for precision equipment such as next-generation energy supply systems.
