TPE Footwear Material Application
Problem Phenomenon
TPE shoe soles are soft and comfortable but insufficiently wear-resistant, or harden at low temperature
Cause Analysis
TPE footwear material is soft, comfortable, and easy to process; but its wear resistance is inferior to TPU rubber; the low-temperature performance of SEBS base is better than SBS base; select the system by usage scenario
Solution
①Choose TPE for daily shoe soles to leverage comfort advantages; ②Choose TPU for high wear resistance needs; ③Choose SEBS base for low-temperature regions; after adjustment, continuously sample to verify the effect, and resume mass production only after confirming stability
Key Takeaway
TPE footwear material is the balance of comfort and wear resistance; choose TPE for daily use and TPU for professional use, divided by scenario; after confirming effectiveness, solidify the parameters and practices into the work instruction to prevent recurrence
