| HY-ELVALOY |
 |
Is a polymer that, when combined with TSH or OT blowing agents, peroxide and other ingredients, produces a foam that exhibits a unique balance of properties.
These properties include improved resilience, excellent whiteness, better shock absorption, and tight cell structure.
HY-ELVALOY can be manufactured on standard EVA foaming equipment.
The additional ingredients needed to make HY-ELVALOY are used in EVA foam and are available through local commercial suppliers.
HY-ELVALOY is currently used in midsole foams. There are 2 grades available:
HY-ELVALOY 960 and HY-ELVALOY 965.
HY-ELVALOY 960 makes a slightly harder foam than HY-ELVALOY 965. The difference gives the designer more midsole options.
Key Benefits:
* Superior Surface Finish
If a polished mold is used in a post-molding operation, the surface finish will be similar to the smooth surface seen on many polyurethane midsoles while retaining excellent whiteness.
* Good Shock Absorption
Lab tests show a 20% shock absorption advantage of HY-ELVALOY versus EVA.
* Good Energy Return
Lab tests show the energy return of HY-ELVALOY to be 18% greater than EVA.
* Excellent Whiteness
* Tight, Uniform Cell Structure
* Ease of Processibility
Can be manufactured on standard equipment. |
