ABSTRACT
Instead of commonly used polyester based outsole system, the newly developed polyether based system is providing excellent hydrolytically property. The data show even after 4 weeks of hydrolysis test (70°C, 95% RT Humidity) the tensile strength will keep in same level without dropping from the original value, and test result for the tear strength, elongation and flexibility are the same as well.
In this paper, we also conducted a series of testing for real molded part of uni-sole including process ability, low temperature flex, slip resistance, abrasion resistance, solvent resistance, mold release agent sensitivity and appearance evaluation.
All the data show excellent performance making this system becoming a wise choice of outsole material for shoemaker.
