Polyurethane Foam

PORON® 4701-60 (Very Firm)

PORON® 4701-60 is a very firm, microcellular polyurethane foam engineered for demanding energy management, gasketing, and gap-filling applications. Its high resistance to compression set ensures long-term sealing integrity under heavy loads and in extreme environments such as vibration, dust, heat, and shock.

Features
  • Extra-firm density — excellent compression set resistance for high-load scenarios.
  • Thickness range: 0.031″ to 0.250″ (0.79 mm to 6.35 mm).
  • Density options: 15 lb/ft³ (240 kg/m³), 20 lb/ft³ (320 kg/m³), 25 lb/ft³ (400 kg/m³).
  • Compression Force Deflection (25%):
  • 36 psi (249 kPa), 62 psi (428 kPa), or 93 psi (643 kPa) depending on density.
  • Compression Set (70 °C max): up to 10%.
  • Tensile Strength: 931–1724 kPa; Elongation: ~45–50%; Tear Strength: ~3.3–5.3 kN/m.
  • Temperature Performance:
    • Continuous: up to 90 °C
    • Intermittent: up to 121 °C
    • Embrittles below –16 °C
  • Additional features:
    • Excellent compression recovery
    • Good UV and ozone resistance
    • Low outgassing; flame-rated as UL 94 HBF
    • Stable mechanical/forming properties, fabricates easily via die-cut, waterjet, or laser
Benefits
  • Offers superior energy management under high compression loads.
  • Maintains long-lasting seal integrity in harsh operational environments.
  • Reduces material creep and dimension loss over time.
  • Highly durable — provides firm support and shape retention across cycles.
  • Fabrication ready — supports custom gasket and seal production.
Applications
  • Heavy-duty gasketing in industrial and automotive sectors
  • Shock-absorbing and vibration-damping pads and supports
  • High-performance sealing solutions in rugged environments
  • Cable and enclosure sealing where high closure force is essential
