Huntsman to show off new footwear technology in Chennai
20/01/2015
At IILF 2015, Huntsman’s team will speak to attendees about the polyurethane soling materials available to Indian footwear manufacturers and how using “differentiated footwear technologies” can deliver a competitive edge.
Fully water-blown polyester and polyether footwear systems that are suitable for a wide variety of mid-sole, unit sole and sockliner applications are available from Huntsman, the company said in the build-up to the event.
Marketed under the Daltoped technology brand, the range includes Daltoped Lite technology for lightweight shoes. It is based on innovative polyether material for polyurethane soles that functions, according to Huntsman, as “an ultra-lightweight, cost-effective and highly versatile alternative to ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA)”.
Another product in the range is Daltoped Grip, a system for enhancing the safety and comfort of shoes, constructed using polyether or polyester-based technology to “mimic the look and feel of rubber”.
