Back to: Website Index >> Product Range >> Poron Urethanes

PORON® Dual Layer is a new multi functional foot cushioning material available from Algeos. This high performance urethane combines the durability and shock absorbing qualities of PORON® 4000, with the softness and comfort of PORON® 94, resulting in a superior dual layer foam.

PORON DUAL LAYER

Dual Layers

The bottom layer of PORON® Dual Layer is made from PORON® 4000. The material is blue in colour and designed to reduce impact to the feet and joints by providing advanced shock absorption and increased cushioning support.

The top layer is made from a softer, lighter PORON® 94 that is a distinctive salmon colour. This top layer has a slow rebound effect that redistributes pressure around the foot's plantar surface, providing enhanced cushioning. The top layer provides a support structure by moulding itself to the contours of the foot giving optimum comfort and stability.

Unique Features

PORON® Dual Layer is formed by a unique patent-pending technology that involves no laminates or adhesives.

This original method of manufacture creates a merged cell structure generating a strong bond between the two layers,making the material more durable.

PORON® Dual Layer is produced without the use of plasticisers, which prevent the material from hardening or shrinking, extending the life of PORON® Dual Laminate and guaranteeing longterm softness and comfort.

PORON® Dual Layer also contains layers of permeable, anti-fungal cells that encourage moisture and vapour away from the foot itself.This innovative feature increases the efficiency of ventilation, keeping the foot cool, dry and odour free.
