Based on the characteristics of PU material, we have developed and produced many PU shoe inserts. In order to help everyone have a better understanding of this material, today our topic is: What is PU foam?
PU foam stands for Polyurethane foam. It is a type of foam material that is widely used in various industries, including footwear. PU foam is made by reacting polyols (a type of alcohol) with diisocyanates (a type of compound) in the presence of catalysts and other additives.
It is known for its excellent cushioning and comfort properties. It is lightweight, flexible, and offers good shock absorption, making it suitable for use in shoe insoles and inserts. The foam structure of PU foam allows it to compress under pressure and then regain its shape once the pressure is released, providing support and comfort to the wearer’s feet.
In addition to its cushioning properties, PU foam is also durable and resistant to wear and tear. It can withstand repeated use and maintain its shape and cushioning properties for an extended period.
PU foam is available in different densities and thicknesses, allowing manufacturers to customize the level of support and cushioning provided by the shoe inserts. It is also often used in combination with other materials, such as fabric or gel inserts, to enhance its performance and comfort.
Overall, PU foam is a popular choice for shoe inserts due to its cushioning, durability, and versatility in providing comfort and support to the wearer’s feet.
