Comparison Analysis of Rogers Foam and Inoue Foam

A comparison of Rogers Foam and Inoue Foam is shown below

Performance Characteristics:

Elasticity and cushioning performance:

• Inoue foam: better elasticity and superior cushioning performance, suitable for scenes with high impact absorption requirements, can provide softer cushioning protection for products.
• Rogers foam: also has excellent elasticity and cushioning performance, but relatively speaking, its performance in the overall performance is more comprehensive, in providing good cushioning at the same time, in other areas such as temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, etc. also have excellent performance.

Temperature resistance:

• Rogers foam: excellent temperature resistance, able to maintain stable performance in a wide range of temperatures, can be adapted to a number of high or low temperature special environment, such as around the car engine and other high-temperature areas can still be used normally.
• Inoue Foam: The temperature resistance range may be relatively narrow, and the performance stability in high temperature environment may not be as good as Rogers Foam.

Abrasion resistance:

• Rogers foam: has a stronger abrasion resistance, suitable for use in the need for frequent friction occasions, such as some sports equipment, mechanical parts, etc., long-term use is not easy to wear.
  Inoue foam: relatively weak abrasion resistance, in the case of frequent friction may be faster to wear.

Product specifications and models:

• Rogers Foam: A wide range of models are available with a variety of hardness, density and thickness options that can meet the specific needs of different application scenarios. For example, there are extremely soft, slow-rebound models for areas that require a high degree of fit, as well as hard material models for applications that require high-energy impact management.
• Inoue Foam: There are also a variety of series and models, such as a series with slow rebound characteristics, a series with flame retardant features, etc., which can provide the appropriate products for different application needs, but the overall diversity of models may be slightly inferior to Rogers Foam.

Price:

• Inoue foam: relatively more affordable price, has a high cost-effective, suitable for cost control requirements of higher projects or foam performance requirements are not extremely demanding application scenarios.
• Rogers foam: due to its excellent performance and brand influence, the price is usually a little higher, more suitable for high-end products or special application scenarios with extremely strict requirements on material performance.

Application areas:

• Rogers Foam: Widely used in electronics, automotive, aerospace, medical and other industries that require high material performance. In the field of electronics, it can be used for internal buffering, sealing and insulation of electronic products; in the automotive field, it can be used for vibration damping, soundproofing and sealing of automotive parts; in the aerospace field, it can be used for buffering and noise reduction of aircraft parts.
• Inoue foam: also used in electronics, automotive, construction and other industries, but in some high-end application scenarios with particularly high performance requirements, its market share may be relatively small. For example, in electronic products, commonly used in cell phones, computers and other equipment, internal cushioning; in the automotive field, can be used for automotive interior sound insulation, shock absorption.
