TPU films are widely used in footwear manufacturing, providing shoes with many excellent properties and characteristics. We will explore the uses, advantages, and impact of TPU films on footwear on shoe performance.

Application of TPU film in footwear manufacturing

Wear resistance: TPU film has excellent wear resistance and can be used as a covering layer for soles and uppers, providing additional protection and durability, extending the life of shoes.

Waterproof: TPU film has good waterproof performance and can be used to make shoes that need to resist moisture intrusion, such as outdoor, mountaineering and rain boots.

Breathability: Although TPU itself is not breathable, it can achieve breathability by designing a special microporous structure to keep feet dry and comfortable.

Supportiveness: TPU film can be used to manufacture the support structure of shoes, such as uppers, eyelets and heels, to enhance the stability and support of shoes.

Lightweight: Compared with traditional materials, TPU film is lighter, which can reduce the overall weight of shoes and improve wearing comfort.

Advantages of TPU film

Environmental protection: TPU is an environmentally friendly material. Compared with harmful substances such as PVC, it has a lower environmental impact and meets the needs of modern consumers for sustainable development.

Flexibility: TPU film has excellent flexibility and elasticity and can be shaped and molded according to the design needs of the shoes, providing better wearing feeling and comfort.

Chemical resistance: TPU film has good chemical resistance and is not easily corroded and damaged by chemicals such as acids and alkalis, keeping the appearance and performance of the shoes as new for a long time.

Temperature resistance: TPU film has good temperature resistance, can maintain stable performance under various environmental conditions, and is not easily deformed or degraded due to temperature changes.

Ease of processing: TPU film can be formed through hot pressing, thermal bonding and other processing processes, and is suitable for various shoe manufacturing processes and processes.

The impact of TPU film on shoe performance

Improve wear resistance: The application of TPU film can enhance the wear resistance of shoes and extend their service life, especially suitable for outdoor and sports shoes.

Improved waterproofing: TPU film can effectively prevent moisture from intruding into shoes, keep feet dry, and improve wearing comfort. It is especially suitable for outdoor shoes such as rain boots and hiking shoes.

Enhanced support: TPU film can be used in the support structure of shoes to provide additional support and stability, reducing the risk of injury during exercise.

Optimize breathability: By designing a microporous structure on the TPU film, the breathability effect of the shoes can be achieved, keeping feet ventilated and comfortable.

Improve appearance and texture: TPU film has a good appearance and texture, which can improve the overall beauty and quality of shoes and satisfy consumers' pursuit of fashion and quality.

TPU film has important applications and advantages in footwear manufacturing, providing shoes with multiple functions such as wear resistance, waterproofing, and support. It also improves the comfort and appearance of shoes, in line with modern consumers' expectations for functionality and aesthetics. dual needs.
