You Are a Step Ahead with Our PU or E-TPU in the Midsole of Sports Shoes

Our PU Elastopan® Light Sports is approximately 40% lighter than a standard PU system for midsoles. 

It combines excellent comfort with outstanding durability, thanks to lightness and hydrolysis resistance.

Elastopan® Light Sports doesn’t require special production technology. That means it can be processed with standard footwear industry casting and injection molding machines. And on top – it is a water blown and environment-friendly PU.

Our E-TPU, Infinergy®, is used in the midsole of the “Energy Boost” running shoe of adidas. The sole springs back into its original shape immediately after impact: thanks to this high rebound effect resulting from the resilience of the material, runners use up less energy than they did before.
