Poron Cushioning Sheets
Poron Cushioning Sheets
Unlike standard foams, Poron urethanes are engineered to maintain their memory and resilience, ensuring consistent fit and comfort from the very first step to the last. Even in demanding conditions, Poron retains its cushioning properties and structural integrity.
Poron Foams: Advanced Cushioning Material for Orthotic Insoles, Footwear and Beyond
When designing high-quality orthotic insoles and footwear, choosing the right materials is essential. Among the many options available, Poron foam stands out for its performance, versatility and proven durability.
This open-cell polyurethane foam is widely used in orthotic insoles and shoe manufacturing, and across sectors such as impact protection clothing, vibration reduction and sports equipment. Below is a clear overview of what makes Poron unique, how it’s used in orthotics and footwear, and where else it excels.
What Is Poron?
Poron is a microcellular polyurethane foam engineered for long-lasting comfort, pressure relief and impact protection. It is known for its durability, shock absorption and reliable cushioning.
The foam’s open-cell structure allows repeated compression and recovery without losing performance. Available in multiple densities and thicknesses, Poron can be tailored to suit a wide range of clinical and industrial applications.
Poron in Orthotic Insoles and Footwear
- Superior cushioning: Absorbs impact and distributes plantar pressure to reduce hotspots and foot fatigue.
- Durability: Maintains shape and support over time, resisting compression set for consistent long-term performance.
- Breathability: Open-cell design promotes airflow to keep feet cooler and drier.
- Customisation: Easy to cut, shape and layer for bespoke orthotic builds and targeted support zones.
Beyond Footwear: Wider Uses of Poron
1) Impact Protection Clothing and Equipment
- Sports gear: Helmets, pads and protective wear benefit from Poron’s shock-damping properties.
