Rogers Introduces the Softest and Most Compressible Foam in the 4790-92 Product Family for Handheld Designs
**Softer, More Compressible PORON® Microcellular Urethanes**
Rogers, CT, May 12, 2005: Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) announces an addition of Extra Soft - Slow Rebound Urethane foam to the 4790-92 PORON® Microcellular Urethanes family. This material is the lowest density offering in the 4790 product portfolio, meeting market demand for softer, more compressible material options. Available in 1mm thickness (.039"), the product is the most compressible PORON material available to date - ideal for compact, handheld, mobile electronic devices.
As handheld and electronic devices become more compact and technologically advanced, design engineers are requiring thinner, lighter, softer and more compressible materials to solve their gasketing and cushioning challenges. To meet a wide variety of design requirements, materials must be available in a variety of thicknesses and densities. They must also be resistant to extreme temperatures, shock, and compression set.
The availability of PORON Urethanes in various formulations, thicknesses, and densities makes them ideal solutions for filling gaps, providing seals, protecting components from environmental hazards, and managing shock and vibration energy.
A number of design guides are available for engineers for Handheld Electronics devices on Rogers' Web site: www.rogerscorporation.com in addition to marketing and technical support teams.
