VORALAST* Polyurethane Components for expanded microcellular foam, both ester and ether, are used for any type of footwear soling, from leisure to sport. The main characteristics of VORALAST are:
  • Lightness: molded densities lower than 320 Kg/m3 (20 lbs/ft3) can be reached. such densities are suitable for the production of sandals, slippers and midsoles for sport shoes.
  • Toughness: polyurethane systems provide load bearing capabilities of at least 30-35 N/cm2 (265-310 lb/in2) avoiding problems associated with compression/load deflections during wear.
  • Comfort: the combination of lightness and load bearing provides excellent wear properties.
  • Flexibility: flex fatigue properties at low temperatures, such as -20°C (-4°F) are easily attained with suitable raw materials
  • Freedom of styling: the excellent flow of the material allows for easy copy of the design even when utilizing complex mold shapes.
  • High productivity: using an appropriate system, production of up the 6,000 pairs per shift with demolding time down to 90 seconds can be reached.
  • Hydrolysis, oil and chemical resistance: for specific applications systems can be formulated to provide hydrolysis, oil and chemical resistance.
