Bonding study: Rogers PORON® industrial polyurethanes

Bonding to Rogers PORON® industrial polyurethanes
Rogers’ line of PORON® industrial polyurethanes provides durable, long-term performance. Whether in gasket design, sealing, cushioning, or vibration management, PORON® products are low-outgassing, non-fogging, non-corrosive, and will not become brittle and crumble. The extensive range of PORON® materials address a multitude of design requirements.

Rogers PORON® and Avery Dennison adhesive sample preparation
Avery Dennison adhesive products were backed with a 2 mil PET film and trimmed to a one-inch width. Two sample sets were laminated to Rogers PORON® Industrial Polyurethanes.

Rogers PORON® and Avery Dennison Adhesive Sample Testing
Foam bonding is affected by the foam's base polymer, thickness, and cell type. Adhesion to foam is impacted by factors such as: adhesive mass, pressure, compression, lamination speed and temperature. All samples were tested at 180° Peel Adhesion at 12 in/min. It was determined by this study that heat lamination is beneficial (220˚F).
