Bayer Material Science of lightweight technology for polyurethane footwear industry has brought the gospel, especially in the sports and leisure shoes, safety shoes production. In May 30, 2007 to June 2nd during the seventeenth Guangzhou international footwear, leather and industrial equipment exhibition, Bayer Material Science focused on the introduction of this technology.
With the continuous development of the footwear market, the sole manufacturer of Bayer Material Science the polyurethane light technology had a strong interest in. Asia Pacific BaySystems mold, elastomer and automotive systems business development director RoyLin said:" Bayflex @ lightweight polyurethane system gradually become those who have foresight the footwear manufacturers of raw materials of choice, to replace the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer ( EVA ) and other traditional raw materials; the reason is very simple, the technique can make footwear products more light, more benefits."
Bayflex @ lightweight polyurethane system is the innovation of BaySystems polyurethane midsole system, its density is less than 300 kg / m3, the sole structure can reduce the weight of up to 30% different. Bayflex @ lightweight polyurethane system using three component polyester injection molding system or bicomponent polyester pouring system two forms. And ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and other shoe materials compared, this technology has many excellent performance, such as the incomparable comfort, excellent shock absorption and good elasticity. The technology for the production of soles, even after prolonged use, its performance is still far ahead of EVA and other traditional sole material.
Bayflex @ lightweight polyurethane system to combine the modern processing and gas quantitative feeding technology, can provide the sole production and direct with the bottom provided there is nothing comparable to this cost benefit. Bayflex @ with all with bottom material excellent adhesive properties are in the industry application of another big advantage.
Bayer Material Science is in China through its newly established Shanghai FOOTWEAR Global Technology Center ( GFCC ) to the Chinese market to introduce and popularize the latest footwear production technology, to promote advanced material and technology development. In addition to research and development work, the global footwear footwear technology center is also responsible for providing technical support. Asia Pacific BaySystems moulding and elastomer director ThomasBraig explained:" from the new technology development to the market introduction and promotion of the whole process, the global footwear technology center to provide the necessary services -- this is not limited to Bayflex @ lightweight polyurethane system technology. Shanghai FOOTWEAR Global Technology Center was established, as Bayer Material Science and technology of China and the global polyurethane footwear industry innovation and development support to provide a great convenience."
Global footwear technology center equipped with the most advanced footwear and related equipment, including polyurethane and thermoplastic polyurethane application injection-molding machine, casting machine and the prepolymer and polyol formula experiment factory.
Braig concluded:" the Chinese footwear production of footwear global crop 60%, Asia-Pacific area reached global footwear production 80%, so in the Asia-Pacific region and the market is committed to the global footwear technology center development, introducing Bayflex @ lightweight polyurethane system and the new product innovation is the inevitable move."
