New footwear prepolymer from Huntsman
According to Huntsman, Suprasec 2982 is particularly suited to footwear manufacturers located in areas with climate extremes where storage conditions are not ideal, leading to the premature degradation of the prepolymer. Suprasec 2982 remains liquid, even at low temperatures, and is less susceptible to dimerisation at elevated temperatures. Customer groups already using the technology include safety boot companies on the Indian subcontinent and causal shoemakers in Eastern Europe.
In addition to safety boots, applications for Suprasec 2982 include a range of soft, comfortable outsoles for sports and casual shoes.
