Specialty Sole Adhesive for Many Sole Materials

PREMIUM SOLE ADHESIVE FOR THE EXPORT FOOTWEAR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

INTRO DUCTION:

• A footwear product is considered good quality when it meets these criteria: the quality of the sole and the adhesive used to make the shoe. Therefore, choosing a sole adhesive that achieves the required product quality is a time-consuming process if an unsuitable adhesive is chosen.
• The sole is the main element that makes a shoe strong and durable. Besides appearance, sole quality is very important - the sole bears the most load in a shoe. A sole that bears load, resists heat, is slip-resistant, light and elastic makes the product last longer. There are many types of soles on the market, used for different purposes, as follows:

1. PU soles:

• • PU is the most flexible sole type and the one most often chosen in high-end export footwear. PU is also the hardest sole to bond if the right adhesive is not used, and other additives are needed to increase adhesion on PU soles.
  • The main advantages of PU soles are light weight, durability and very good adhesion. That is why many famous footwear brands in the world choose PU soles for high-end footwear that meets export standards.

2. TPR soles:

• • TPR is also called thermoplastic rubber. It is a very special material because it has the properties of both plastic and synthetic rubber.
  • TPR soles have these advantages: very light and extremely effective abrasion resistance. Good tear strength, very good heat resistance, very high slip resistance, cheaper than PU soles, and good flexibility that keeps feet comfortable when moving.
  • Because of the properties of synthetic rubber and thermoplastic, TPR can melt at high temperatures and solidify at low temperatures, making TPR an ideal molding material.
  • TPR soles are also very picky about adhesives. To choose a suitable adhesive and achieve a firm, long-lasting bond, besides a super-strong adhesive we need to combine surface treatment agents and catalysts that increase bonding ability to make a high-quality shoe.

    

3. PVC soles

• Made from the same material used to make rigid plastic pipes, PVC soles are formed from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compounds. Its thermal insulation, durability and excellent resistance to abrasion, water and chemicals are also fairly good and highly competitive compared with other types.
• PVC soles are very light, making movement easier and more comfortable. Unlike other materials that react when in contact with oil or gas, PVC soles stay durable when exposed to these substances. That is why they are used in some safety work shoes.
• Compared with rubber or leather soles, PVC soles are cheap. They are cheaper because the materials for making PVC are easy to obtain and produce. As a result, footwear made with PVC soles is affordable. However, PVC soles bond poorly to leather, so making quality shoes with this sole material is costly.

4. EVA soles

•  EVA soles are made from ethylene-vinyl acetate compound, a material used to make rubber soles for various footwear products. Some say it is more durable than PVC soles and has more traction on slippery surfaces. Therefore, EVA soles are very suitable and comfortable for running and walking shoes.
• EVA soles have many benefits that make them ideal for sports shoes. Simply put, an EVA sole is a plastic sole that can be lighter and more flexible than rubber. Using EVA soles is a great way to get comfortable, light, flexible and water-resistant shoes.
• EVA soles tend to be softer than rubber, which means they are more flexible, and naturally footwear made from EVA soles is more comfortable. EVA is lighter than rubber, and combined with our merino wool uppers, makes a much lighter and better-looking pair of shoes.
• Sports shoes with EVA soles do not conduct much heat, which means your feet stay warmer. This makes EVA soles ideal for wool boots. EVA soles have very good durability and can last longer than other types of soles.
