Anti-abrasion masterbatch NM series, Wear-resistant solutions for shoe outsoles

Common materials for shoe outsoles include a wide range of types, each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages, as well as specific areas of application. Below are some common shoe outsole materials and their properties:

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane)

   – Advantages: good abrasion, folding and fatigue resistance; can be used as an air cushion to provide rebound and shock absorption; lace material is strong and elastic; adhesives are commonly used.

   – Disadvantages: Higher cost, limiting large-scale application.

   – Application areas: sole and upper lamination, decorative effect, and lace material.

Rubber sole

   – Advantages: good abrasion resistance, non-slip, flexible, not easy to break, better softness.

   – Disadvantages: heavier, easy to spit frost, not hard and easy to be pierced, afraid of oil immersion.

   – Application areas: sports shoes, casual shoes.

Polyurethane sole (PU)

   – Advantages: low density, soft texture, good elasticity, comfortable and lightweight to wear, good abrasion resistance and shock absorption performance.

   – Disadvantages: strong water absorption, easy to yellow, easy to break, poor breathability.

   – Application areas: high-grade leather shoes, sports shoes, travelling shoes.

EVA

   – Advantages: lightweight, good elasticity, flexible, easy to process.

   – Disadvantages: not wear-resistant, not oil-resistant, easy to absorb water.

   – Application areas: jogging shoes, casual shoes midsole.

TPR

   – Advantage: easy to shape, cheap, lightweight, comfortable, high elasticity.

   – Disadvantages: heavy material, poor abrasion, poor softness and bendability, poor shock absorption.

   – Application areas: casual shoes, children’s shoes.

PVC

   – Advantages: cheap, oil resistance, wear resistance, good insulation properties.

   – Disadvantages: poor anti-skid performance, poor texture, not cold-resistant, not resistant to folding.

   – Application: cheap footwear.

TR

   – Advantage: Variety of appearance, good handfeel, colourful, high technology, recyclable.

   – Application areas: environmentally friendly sole materials.

The selection of these materials depends on factors such as the design requirements of the footwear, the target market, and cost-effectiveness. Manufacturers will choose suitable sole materials according to specific application needs and performance requirements. It is worth mentioning: improving the abrasion resistance of the outsole of the footwear material is also a very important point. Improving the surface abrasion resistance will greatly prolong the service life of the footwear material and improve the product competitiveness of the footwear material.
