Huntsman tailors for unit sole production
Huntsman Polyurethanes has tailored its Avalon Duo soling concept for the production of quality unit soles. The composite soling material combines the wear and flex properties of a soft TPU for the outsole with the comfort and lightness of polyurethane for the midsole. A one-stage production process through casting or injection achieves perfect bonding between the two layers and the upper, and provides greater cost efficiency.
The soling offers a range of benefits including, say Huntsman, perfect surface definition, matt finish, shiny or glossy end effects, a wide colour range, slip and abrasion resistance, shock absorption, cold flex properties and thermal insulation.
