Custom Wave Anti-Slip Outsole EVA Rubber Material — Product Data
Product overview
Closed-cell EVA outsole sheet engineered with a wave anti-slip tread for wet/dry traction, comfort cushioning, and lightweight durability. Ideal for work shoes, safety footwear, outdoor sandals, casual sneakers, and water-friendly footwear.
Technical specifications
-
Material: EVA (closed-cell foam; “EVA rubber” outsole sheet)
-
Surface: Wave anti-slip texture (custom patterns available)
-
Density: Customizable to project targets
-
Hardness: 25–80° Shore C (soft comfort → firm, durable)
-
Thickness: To request (typical outsole bases 3–12 mm; midsoles/top-layers as specified)
-
Color: Custom/Pantone-matched (solid or two-tone)
-
Formats: Sheets, rolls, or molded blocks for CNC/die-cut
-
Origin: CN
Key benefits
-
High traction, less slip: Wave geometry creates multi-directional edges and channels water/mud away from the contact patch for confident grip.
-
Soft landings, lower fatigue: Resilient EVA structure provides shock absorption and energy return for all-day wear.
-
Durable & light: Good abrasion resistance with low density for lighter shoes and lower shipping weight.
-
Comfort in wet use: Closed-cell build resists water uptake; dries quickly and cleans easily.
-
Process-friendly: Cuts, skives, and sands cleanly; heat-formable for contouring and bonding stacks.
Recommended use & hardness guide
-
Indoor service / comfort clogs: 25–40° Shore C
-
Casual & lifestyle outsoles: 35–50° Shore C
-
Outdoor/hiking sandals & water shoes: 45–60° Shore C
-
Work/safety & high-wear zones (with rubber pads if needed): 55–80° Shore C
Options & customization
-
Custom wave pitch, groove depth, and siping per outsole CAD
-
Perimeter bevels, branding deboss, heel/toe traction zones
-
Multi-durometer laminates (soft core / firm wear layer)
-
Fabric scrim or PSA backing for peel-and-stick assembly
-
UV stabilizer package; color masterbatch to spec
-
CNC kit-packing from CAD/DXF (left/right mirrored, part ID labeling)
Processing & bonding
-
Cutting: Die-cut, waterjet, or CNC; maintain minimum web thickness to protect grooves.
-
Forming: Heat and press to last curves; avoid scorching with controlled platen temps.
-
Bonding: Roughen and solvent-wipe; use PU/contact cements or reactive hot-melt per your SOP.
-
Finishing: Buff edges; add rubber wear pads where extreme abrasion is expected.
Quality & testing (on request)
-
Hardness: ASTM D2240 (Shore C)
-
Abrasion: DIN 53516 / ISO 4649
-
Compression set: ISO 815
-
Slip evaluation: SATRA TM144 or equivalent (specify surfaces/conditions)
Care & storage
Store flat, dry, out of direct UV. Clean with mild soap and water; avoid harsh solvents/bleach.
Frequently asked questions
-
Lead time: Standard sheets/rolls typically ship in ~25 days; allow +1–2 weeks for PSA, lamination, perforation, or kit-cut sets.
-
Samples: Yes—sample kits available across densities, hardnesses, thicknesses, and tread patterns.
-
Soft/firm options: Achieved via compounding/expansion to your target Shore C.
-
Recyclability: EVA can be recycled where facilities exist; in-plant offcuts are recycled.
-
From CAD: Provide CAD/DXF and notes; after minor revisions, sample production can usually begin within two weeks.
