Core advantages of polyurethane sports products
Performance Customization: By adjusting the formulation—such as the ratio of soft to hard segments and foam density—it is possible to achieve hardness adjustments ranging from ultra-soft (Shore A10) to ultra-hard (Shore D80), while simultaneously meeting complex requirements such as resilience, wear resistance, and cushioning.
Performance customization: By adjusting the formulation—such as the ratio of soft to hard segments and foam density—it’s possible to achieve hardness adjustments ranging from ultra-soft (Shore A10) to ultra-hard (Shore D80). At the same time, this approach balances multiple requirements—including resilience, abrasion resistance, and cushioning—to suit various sports scenarios.
Lightweight and Comfort: Polyurethane materials generally have lower densities than traditional rubber and leather (for example, E-TPU midsoles are 40% lighter than rubber). Moreover, they are soft and closely conform to the shape of the body, reducing the feeling of heaviness and restriction during movement.
Durability and Environmental Adaptability: Resistant to abrasion, bending, and weathering (-40℃ to 80℃—operates normally under these conditions). Some formulations also feature resistance to hydrolysis and seawater corrosion, making them suitable for challenging outdoor and humid environments.
Environmental Protection and Sustainability: Eco-friendly materials such as waterborne polyurethanes and bio-based polyurethanes (made from plant-derived polyols) are gradually gaining popularity. These materials comply with international environmental standards including the EU’s REACH and the U.S. ASTM standards, and some of these products are recyclable—for example, E-TPU midsoles can be reprocessed after recycling.
Easy to Mold and Highly Design-Flexible: Can be molded using a variety of processes, including injection molding, foam molding, coating, and casting, enabling the creation of complex shapes (such as ergonomic protective gear and custom-shaped shoe soles) and personalized designs (such as customized colors and textures).
