PORON®: The Global Benchmark for Durability and Impact Absorption
Introduction If one material defines "extreme durability" in foot cushioning, it is PORON® microcellular polyurethane. As a flagship patented material from Rogers Corporation, PORON® is highly esteemed in the global premium athletic and medical footwear markets. Aybroad collaborates deeply with the original supply chain to integrate this "no-collapse" cushioning technology into every product we manufacture.
Technical Insight: Microcellular Excellence
The superior performance of PORON® stems from its highly uniform microcellular structure. Unlike standard foams, PORON® boasts exceptional energy absorption and compression set resistance. Even after millions of impact cycles, its thickness loss remains negligible. For the end-user, this means the cushioning feels as responsive on day 365 as it did on day one. It can absorb over 90% of instantaneous impact energy, shielding joints from ground reaction forces.
Aybroad’s Integration Expertise: Modular Shock Management
Within Aybroad’s engineering framework, PORON® is strategically utilized as a high-performance "plug-in":
-
Localized Reinforcement: To balance cost and performance, we use precision die-cutting to embed PORON® inserts into the heel or metatarsal zones—areas subject to the highest stress.
-
Ultra-Thin Applications: For space-constrained footwear like dress shoes or ski boots, we provide PORON® layers as thin as 1.5mm, drastically enhancing comfort without altering the internal shoe volume.
-
Full-Spectrum Selection: We offer the complete range, including PORON® Vive (High Rebound) and PORON® Medical (Antimicrobial), backed by original material authentication to strengthen your brand’s market credibility.
Applications
Ideally suited for elite running shoes, military/tactical boots, and occupational footwear for professionals on their feet all day. Choosing PORON® is a commitment to long-lasting quality.
