Rogers celebrates Poron success

04/05/2011
Footwear technology provider Rogers Corporation is celebrating winning Best Component Award for its Poron XRD Extreme Protection material at the Materials, Manufacturing & Technology (MM&T) event at the Asia-Pacific Leather Fair (APLF) held in Hong Kong March 30–April 1, 2011.

PORON XRD Extreme Impact Protection material is a high-performance technology that provides impact absorption in a thinner, lighter-weight, contouring material. While soft and flexible to the touch, the material instantly forms a protective shell on impact, providing reliable and long-lasting protection.

“It has been a very successful addition to our Poron Cushioning family of products and has been incorporated in a variety of applications from footwear to helmets and back protectors,” said Vicky Zeng, Rogers Corporation’s senior marketing communications specialist for Asia. “We are honoured to receive this recognition and prestigious award from APLF.”
