what is Poron?

PORON

PORON is an industrial polyurethane foam material invented by Rogers Corporation in the mid-20th century. It has a microcellular open-cell structure achieved through polyurethane foaming, allowing air and moisture to pass through, ensuring excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties. Closed-cell foam, in contrast, is like tiny balloons filled with air that cannot flow freely. The choice between open or closed-cell design depends on customer needs. (Yuea Tay has nearly 30 years of R&D experience, welcome to inquire.)

PORON features:

  • Softness
  • Excellent elasticity
  • Anti-deformation
  • High sealing
  • Good breathability
  • Low outgassing
  • Non-fogging
  • Non-corrosive
  • Resistance to brittleness

This durable material is commonly used in insoles, sports gear, and other products needing cushioning and shock absorption, such as electronics.

In our insoles, both YT-006 and YT-008 use PORON in the heel area to provide extra shock absorption. In the M1 MULTI-FUNCTION INSOLE, we place PORON in the forefoot cushion for added comfort, while a PU gel pad is inserted in the rearfoot cushion, making it a versatile insole suitable for various sports as well as everyday wear.

Our insoles are available in EVA/PU/Poron, PU/PU Gel, EVA/PU/PU Gel, and other material combinations. For more information or inquiries, feel free to contact us or email us.
