Applications
Outsoles • Midsoles & wedges • Heel pads • Slippers & hotel disposables • Sandals & slides • Kids’ shoes • Orthotic bases • Non-marking indoor footwear
Processing & bonding (guidelines)
-
Cut/shape: Die-cut, kiss-cut, waterjet, or knife-CNC; round sharp corners for durability.
-
Forming: Heat-press emboss for texture; laminate layers under controlled temperature/pressure.
-
Adhesives: Compatible with standard footwear systems (e.g., PU cements, hot-melt); follow primer/open-time per adhesive supplier.
Care & maintenance (finished footwear)
Wipe with mild soap and water; avoid harsh solvents/bleach. Inspect high-wear lugs/edges in field testing and adjust compound or texture as needed.
Frequently asked questions
-
Lead time: About 25 days for standard sheets; add 1–2 weeks for PSA backing, heat-lamination, special textures, or kit sets.
-
Samples: Yes—packs with multiple densities, hardnesses, and textures.
-
Soft/firm options: Compound and expansion can be tuned to target feel.
-
Recyclability: EVA closed-cell foam can be recycled where facilities exist; in-plant offcuts are recycled.
-
Build from CAD: Provide CAD/DXF; with minor revisions, sample production can typically start within two weeks.
