PU material (polyurethane) is widely used in footwear, mainly in its lightweight, wear-resistant, comfortable and environmentally friendly properties.PU material is commonly used in many parts of shoes, such as soles, uppers and midsoles.
Sole application:
PU soles are famous for its lightweight, softness and good elasticity, which are suitable for making sports and leisure shoes.PU soles have excellent abrasion resistance and folding resistance, which are not easy to be worn or deformed, thus prolonging the service life of the shoes. In addition, PU soles also have non-slip performance, which improves the safety of wearing.
Another advantage of PU soles is their antibacterial and deodorant function, which can effectively prevent foot odour.
The environmentally friendly properties of PU soles are also valued, as PU materials are recyclable and do not produce harmful waste.
Upper Applications:
PU material is also widely used for shoe uppers, especially for sports shoes and casual shoes.PU uppers have excellent abrasion resistance and waterproof property, which can effectively prevent water from penetrating into the shoes.
PU uppers are light and soft, usor de curatat, and come in a wide range of colours to mimic the colour and texture of leather, providing an aesthetically pleasing option.
Midsole Application:
PU material is often used in combination with carbon fibre panels in midsole applications to improve the comfort and shock absorption of the shoe
. This design not only reduces the weight of the shoe, but also enhances the tear strength and wearing comfort.
High elasticity PU midsole is injected into the shoe.
The high elasticity PU midsole is combined with rubber outsole through injection moulding process to form a multi-density sole, which combines abrasion resistance and lightweight comfort.
Other features.
Other Properties:
PU material also has good resistance to oil, acid and alkali, and low temperature, making it suitable for various working environments and climatic conditions.
The production process of PU materials is relatively environmentally friendly, reducing the reliance on animal leather and reducing environmental pollution.
Due to its diverse physical properties and environmental protection characteristics, PU material has been widely used in modern footwear design, from sports shoes to casual shoes to work boots, PU material has shown its unique value.
