The footwear market is always on the move and Elachem® is in pole position to fulfil customer requests. From innovative ET systems, light and with high cushioning already appreciated and used by most of the top brands, especially in the fashion industry, to special ES products for running shoes, every material is designed to last for a long time and with fatigue recovery in mind. Focusing on the trend of elasticity, we have successfully introduced our new elastic insert/midsole designed for high-performance shoes. And let’s not forget the full PU for medical or outdoor applications. All the ES products are available in the Elacat® BIO option, ranging between 20% and 70% of BIO content.
