Polyurethane systems for footwear

For the production of all types of insoles (including covered insoles) with hardness ratings ranging from 10 to 40 Shore A and densities from 0.22 to 0.32 g/cm3.

For the production of soles for sandals and for very flexible men’s and women’s footwear with excellent physical/mechanical resistance with hardness ratings ranging from 45 to 85 Shore A and densities from 0.40 to 0.65 g/cm3.

For the production of soles for sandals, particularly suitable for wedge heels for women, with hardness ranging from 55 to 75 Shore A and with densities from 0.24 to 0.40 g/cm3 . Excellent workability and demoulding time. In order to meet certain needs, the systems can be set up for the production of soles that are particularly hard and rigid (85/95 Shore A).

For the production of flexible, soft and light soles particularly suitable for city, casual and sports shoes with hardness ratings ranging from 40 to 60 Shore A and densities from 0.35 to 0.55 g/cm3 . These systems provide excellent resistance to abrasion as well as great comfort.

For the production of particularly light intersoles with hardness ratings ranging from 35 to 45 Shore A and with densities from 0.22 to 0.34 g/cm3 . These systems are particularly suitable for expanded intersoles on sports shoes combined with treads in compact PU, TPU or rubber. The great flexibility of these systems ensures excellent resistance to compression. Systems particularly suitable for the production of pool/beach sandals are also available

Medium and high molecular weight systems for the production of soles with optimum resistance to multiple flexing at both low and very low temperatures with hardness ratings ranging from 50 to 60 Shore A and with densities from 0.45 to 0.65 g/cm3 . These systems are particularly suitable for the soles on safety shoes whether they are single or double density. They are also ideal for trekking shoes and all other types of footwear requiring high resistance to flexing and hydrolysis.
