Rogers introduces Poron self-adhesive seal

Poron urethane gasketing foam has a built-in adhesive layer for enhanced sealing, cushioning and impact resistance.

Soft seal is suitable for ultra-thin gap filling, combining compressible Poron foam and construction, and is suitable for LCD gasketing and sealing needs in gaps as thin as 0.10mm.

Manufactured through a process that combines the adhesive and foam in one step, Poron Thinstik self-adhesive solution material contains fewer incompressible layers compared to traditional constructions.

The manufacturing process eliminates the extra, incompressible layers of adhesive and PET found in traditional double-side tape.

This provides designers with more foam in a highly compressible package for the same thickness of final gaskets.

Rogers' acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is manufactured to exact specifications to provide a highly reliable bonding surface to a variety of substrates.

The adhesive exhibits high-quality optical clarity, withstands a range of temperatures and is resistant to chemical exposure.

Poron materials in general are said to retain over 90 per cent of their original thickness under extreme conditions.

PORON ThinStik is an all-in-one solution, answering designers' needs for a highly compressible yet compression-set resistant foam for effective sealing and gap filling in ultra-thin devices.

Rogers Thinstik urethane material demonstrates high durability and elasticity under pressure.

Due to its high compression set resistance, the material bounces back to enable gaskets to hold their shape and seal for prolonged periods, effectively blocking contaminants like dust and moisture for the life of the product.
