Core advantages of polyurethane soles
Polyurethane (PU) soles have become the first choice of the modern shoemaking industry due to their unique material properties. This high-performance material is made by a precise chemical reaction of isocyanate prepolymers (such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate) and polyols under the action of heat and catalysts. Its core advantages include:
- Excellent elasticity: comparable to the flexibility and rebound performance of natural leather, providing a natural and comfortable foot feel for the wearer
- Excellent shock absorption performance: especially suitable for safety shoes, sports shoes and other applications that require additional protection
- Long-lasting durability: smooth and dense surface structure resists daily wear and tear, extending service life
- Lightweight characteristics: 20-30% lighter than traditional rubber soles, improving wearing comfort
