It can be difficult to get molded enclosures and hardware to fit as planned, especially in handheld electronics. As designs evolve, requirements often change – higher temperatures, waterproofing, drop tests. LCD gaskets and cushioning pads deliver the high performance seals needed to keep complex technologies running. PORON® Microcellular Polyurethanes are available in very thin and compressible formulations that maintain an effective seal across a wide range of loads and environmental conditions.

Compressibility & Effective Seals

Designers are using thinner, lighter, softer, and more compressible foam materials to solve sealing and cushioning challenges. PORON® materials have a unique formulation that provides consistent performance over extended time. They will not take a set or relax over the life of your product, thus maintaining an effective seal.

Wide Range of Thicknesses

Mobile electronics must be able to withstand the effects of compression, manage damaging impact energy to sensitive components, and be able to seal out dust and particulate matter from high resolution LCDs and other user interfaces. PORON® materials provide a wide range of firmnesses and thicknesses to meet these needs and more.

• PORON® ThinStik™ material is an all-in-one product that combines highly compressible PORON® foam with a pressure sensitive adhesive layer for proper sealing and gap filling in ultra-thin device applications.
• PORON® Soft Seal Series foam delivers increased surface toughness for improved yields and ease of processing.
• PORON® ShockSeal™ foams are engineered to meet the challenging cushioning, sealing, and protection requirements that larger displays demand. Handheld Grade ShockSeal foam is available as thin as 0.5 mm, and conveniently conforms to some of the smallest and most intricate manufacturing designs.
