Rogers Collaborates with AutomotiveManufacturers to Provide a Quieter Ride Rogers PORON® 40 Urethane Foams Solve Fuel Tank Vibration and Noise Problems
CUSTOMER PROBLEM:
Two of the automotive industry’s largest manufacturers approached Rogers to eliminate a noise and vibration issue that arose when the fuel tank vibrated against other components of the automobile. The high compression set of the old materials caused gaps between the fuel tank, which has a non-linear shape, and the other flatter surface components of the car. Also, one of the manufacturers who was using a vinyl nitrate gap filler experienced melting of the material onto the fuel tank, creating a potential safety hazard.
THE ROGERS SOLUTION:
PORON® POLYURETHANE FOAMS.
The automotive solution required a material with excellent compression force deflection (see illustration) to apply enough force to fill the uneven gap between the fuel tank and its surrounding components as well as provide a low compression-set resistance to ensure a long lasting seal.
Rogers’ PORON 40 formulation foams not only filled the gap and provided along lasting seal that dampened the vibration and prevented noise, its temperature resistance allowed it to hold up in varying weather conditions. Automotive designers sometimes initially select lesser, cheaper gasketing products but after thorough testing, found that Rogers’ products last longer and perform more reliably in extreme temperatures.
