Introducing the Foam Engineering Lab™: Think you know foam? Think again.

Introducing the Foam Engineering Lab - Large Logo

Foam might seem simple—but for engineers, choosing the right foam is anything but. From gasketing and gap filling to impact protection and thermal control, foam plays a critical role in performance and reliability. And with dozens of material types, cell structures, and mechanical properties to consider, making the right call can get complicated fast.

That’s why we’re launching the Foam Engineering Lab™—a new educational video series from Rogers Corporation and TBP Converting that breaks down the science of foam selection into clear, practical, and (believe it or not) fun lessons.

Watch the series and sign up.

Why We Built the Foam Engineering Lab

Engineers kept asking:

“What’s the difference between open-cell and closed-cell foam?”
“Is density the same thing as firmness?”
“What is compression set—and how do I avoid it?”

So, we teamed up with TBP Converting to build a resource that answers these questions and more. Each video focuses on one key topic—giving you the tools to spec foam with confidence and avoid costly mistakes.

What You’ll Learn

The series covers all the basics, including:

What is foam? (and why it behaves the way it does)
Open-cell vs. closed-cell structures
抗压缩形变
Density vs. firmness: what actually matters
压缩反弹应力
Stress relaxation
Top 6 things to consider when selecting a foam
Water absorption in foams
A blind foam test—can you tell the difference?

Who It’s For

This series is made for engineers, designers, and technical professionals who want to:

Improve their foam selection process
Understand the trade-offs behind material specs
Reduce trial-and-error in application design
Learn from material experts and converters who work with foam every day

Watch the Series and Get Your Free Sample Kit
