ITEM 2.06    Material Impairments

On June 29, 2006, Rogers Corporation (the "Company") concluded that the Company
will potentially take a non-cash charge in the second quarter of 2006 related to
the write-down of impaired assets within the Company's Other Polymer Products
reporting segment, which includes four operating units: elastomer components,
polyolefin foams, polyester-based laminates, and non-woven composite materials.
The non-cash impairment charge involves the assets associated with the Company's
polyolefin foams and polyester-based laminates businesses. Due to recent market
and customer developments, increasing competitive pricing pressure, and rising
raw materials prices, the profitability and viability of these segments appear
more questionable in the long term than previously forecasted. Consequently, the
Company expects these events to unfavorably impact future sales and profit
forecasts with respect to these specific businesses. Rogers determined that
these conditions are not temporary and qualify as indicators of impairment,
resulting in the potential impairment of the related assets.

The Company cannot currently estimate the amount or the range of amounts of the
impairment charge; however, it will provide this information when it is able to
make a determination of such estimate or range of estimates.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on June 29, 2006 announcing
the expected impairment charge is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.



ITEM 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure

On June 29, 2006, the Company also announced an update to its second quarter
2006 guidance. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Form 8-K.

The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of
Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a
registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or
cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the
effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of
income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of
the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the
effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable
measure so calculated and presented. In this regard, GAAP refers to generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. At this time, the
Registrant can not provide the required reconciliations within the earnings
release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures, as the potential impairment charges resulting in the
non-GAAP financial measures are not known to the Company as of the time of this
filing. These reconciliations will be included in future filings when these
amounts, or a range of these amounts, become determinable.

References to non-GAAP earnings per share (excluding the potential effect of the
aforementioned potential impairment charges) is included in the earnings release
because management believes that diluted earnings per share, excluding the
effect of the potential impairment charges, is a measure that should be
presented as it is useful to investors. Management believes that the following
should be considered when evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures:

o    The Registrant reviews the operating results of its business excluding the
     impact of any discrete events, such as impairment charges, because it
     provides an additional basis of comparison.

     Management believes that these events are infrequent in nature, and would
     not be indicative of ongoing operating results. As a result, management
     believes such charges should be excluded in order to compare past, current
     and future periods.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in the earnings release will be
reconciled to the comparable GAAP results when these amounts are known and such
reconciliations will be posted on the Registrant's website at
www.rogerscorporation.com.

The information furnished in this report in this Item 7.01 and the Exhibit
attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated
by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except
as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

EX-99.1

Rogers Corp. Files 8-K and Projects Record Second Quarter Sales and Record
Full-Year Earnings

    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 29, 2006--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) today announced that it is filing a Form 8-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), reporting a potential
non-cash asset impairment charge involving the Company's Other Polymer
Products reporting segment. This reportable segment, which comprised
12% of net sales in 2005, includes four operating units: elastomer
components, polyolefin foams, polyester-based laminates, and non-woven
composite materials.
    Due to recent market and customer developments, Rogers believes
that the future outlook of the Company's polyolefin foams and
polyester-based laminates operating units has changed from previous
expectations. As a result, it was determined that these events qualify
as indicators of impairment under generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) and that the assets associated with these two
operating units may require a non-cash impairment charge, which could
affect the Company's second quarter 2006 GAAP earnings. The vast
majority of the polyolefin foam unit's assets were impaired during
2005 when the Company significantly restructured this business and
scaled down the unit's market focus. However, due to unforeseen recent
competitive developments, the profitability and viability of the
business appear more questionable in the long term than originally
forecast in 2005.
    The polyester-based laminates unit includes shielding materials
used mostly in the cable industry. The cable market has been affected
by rising raw material prices, especially copper. In addition, it now
appears that certain new higher margin non-cable applications, which
would further diversify the heavily concentrated commodity cable
product business, will take longer to come to fruition than originally
planned. Consequently, the Company expects these events to unfavorably
impact future sales and profit forecasts.
    The polyolefin foam and polyester-based laminates operating units
currently have long-lived assets and goodwill of approximately $16
million, of which approximately $11 million represents residual
goodwill. The exact amount of any impairment charge will not be known
until a full assessment is completed by the Company with the
assistance of an independent third-party valuation specialist. The
Company will disclose such amount or range when it has been
determined.

    Second Quarter Guidance

    The Company also announced that, excluding any aforementioned
non-cash impairment charges, it now expects both sales and non-GAAP
earnings to be above previous guidance ranges and at record levels for
the second quarter of 2006. Rogers now projects second quarter net
sales to be $101 to $103 million compared to the April 20, 2006,
guidance of $97 to $100 million. Non-GAAP earnings for the second
quarter, excluding any impairment charges, are projected to be $0.69
to $0.72 per diluted share versus previous guidance of $0.63 to $0.67
per diluted share.
    The Company cannot at this time reconcile the non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as
the potential impairment charges resulting in the non-GAAP financial
measures are not known to the Company at this time.
    Robert D. Wachob, President and CEO, commented, "Outside of any
potential GAAP impairment adjustments, we are extremely pleased with
the overall expected results for this quarter, which is usually slower
than the third and fourth quarters of the year. The
higher-than-expected second quarter operating results are due to sales
leverage, continued market penetration, and improved execution in our
worldwide strategic operations. Any impairment adjustment related to
our Other Polymer Products segment correlates with our continued
emphasis on structuring our businesses in line with our long-term
strategic interests. Additionally, even after the impairment charge,
we expect record sales and GAAP earnings for 2006."
